Adam Markus was essential to my successful first round applications to Booth and Tuck, my top 2 schools.
I interviewed several admissions consultants from a number of the larger agencies, but I felt a much stronger connection during my initial (and lengthy!) consultation with Adam. I’m glad I went with him.
Adam has a wealth of experience and really seeks to know you personally. He cares about his clients and is willing to go out of his way to help you succeed.
I found his feedback on my career and application/essay positioning to be invaluable: Adam wasn’t afraid to tell me when something I wrote was crap, but his default (and by far mist common) setting was to help create and support my brainstorming process. The result was a strong set of applications that truly represented me and that I was proud to submit.
Additionally, as an American candidate, I found his location in Japan to be of substantial benefit: I would work on my apps until late at night, submit a draft to him for review, and often have his comments back first thing in the morning.
Adam knows the schools, he knows the adcoms, and he will know you intimately by the time you hit submit. He’s more than fair in billing. He’s personable and fun to talk to. Review his blog, all of that detail blends seamlessly into his consulting.
I will definitely recommend him to all of my friends and family considering business school in the future.
