At the very onset, while I was speaking to multiple admission counselors to identify the right fit for me – Adam stood out in multiple ways. He patiently listens to your story, goals, and aspirations and then based on his experience of so many years helps you chart out a structured application plan – including which schools to apply to, your target score, and any other additional components that you should work on before hitting ground. For me, my first call with Adam was a breath of fresh air. I ended it with a lot more confidence and faith in myself – most of which I had lost listening to pessimistic advice from other consultants. While super realistic, Adam will always motivate you to achieve what you’re cut out for, and I firmly believe that throughout the process it is this mental grit and self-conviction that’s half the war won.
Adam’s customised approach and ability to synthesize each individual story into a powerful application is truly commendable. Unlike many consultants who adopt a standardized approach for essays (I have seen my peers struggle with that), Adam will give you the expert guidance and triggers to craft your own stories to bring out the authenticity that is most important in essays. Yet, while you might not realise it deep into the process, he will be right there holding your hand and subtly getting you back on track whenever he feels you’re wavering (it’s amazing how he does it!). He has deep insights on how your application will be viewed by the admissions committee, along with those of other applicants in your pool, and will make sure you stand out. His honest feedback, attention to the smallest detail such as word choice, and big picture understanding of all application materials make him the BEST in the industry. Throughout working with Adam, I learned so much more about myself and the essence of my life’s journey– an experience, which genuinely made me feel proud of my essays and gave me immense clarity in life (not many people are able to give you that service). In terms of logistics, the ease of scheduling sessions with Adam and his super-fast response time was very impressive. He will guide you on all aspects of your application – essays, recommendation letters, forms, interviews etc. – treating each part and outcome as if it were his own. Such ownership and investment into your individual success is unique – just have faith in Adam!!
Lastly, the business school journey was a complete roller coaster for me – filled with self-doubt and dejection. After having been through the process, I realised that what you really need, beyond a consultant to help you with essays etc., is someone to help you fight the storm and move forward. To me – Adam was that patient friend, that understanding confidant, and that solid rock who supported me throughout and after the process and without whom I would not have been able to secure a school. Hands down – an Admissions Guru.
