Testimonial
Accepted at: Harvard Business School and Stanford GSB
Working with Adam on my MBA applications was, without a doubt, the most instrumental decision in my journey to receiving admits from HBS and Stanford GSB. From our very first conversation, his thoughtfulness and rigor significantly enhanced my application approach.
I radically changed my school selection following conversations with him: his knowledge of school values, culture, and process was evident and he helpfully paired that with an ability to quickly understand me and my goals. (If not for him, I wouldn’t even have considered HBS.)
Adam then offered consistent guidance and encouragement throughout the essay-writing process. His radical honesty and laser eyes helped me find, and tell, the best story I could about myself and my journey. He took time to understand my interests and background in the context of my upbringing, education, and workplace, which established a rapport very fast. The questions he asked helped me reflect deeply and for that I’m grateful (in fact, I often think I had the same level of revelations about myself after sessions with Adam as I did with my therapist!) His feedback on my writing I know I’ll also take with me into my career going forward.
I did a mock interview with Adam for GSB which definitely helped raise my confidence levels. The resources he has available on his website for interview prep elicited self-reflection (both for GSB and HBS) that formed a big part of my past few months, helping me really learn about myself. Adam was kind enough to put me in touch with a previous client of his who had also interviewed with my GSB interviewer — something I would never have expected, but what definitely assuaged my interview anxiety. For HBS, he also connected me with his colleagues for mocks, ensuring I could be as prepared as possible.
All in all, his support has led me to this major milestone in my life, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
