(ONLY LL.M. Client for Fall 2011. Applied only to Columbia).
I was ecstatic about my recent admission to the Columbia LLM program, especially since this came after previous failed attempts to gain admission. The key difference between my success in finally gaining admission and my previous failed attempts can be attributed solely to one reason; I had Adam as my Graduate Admissions Consultant during the most recent admissions process leading up to my admission to the program.
Adam’s help and guidance during the admissions process was invaluable. Under his tutelage, I came to see why my previous applications had been unsuccessful and which parts of my application required improvement. I was especially impressed by the fact that Adam took time to understand my situation and my goals, and subsequently used that information to help me structure and tailor my approach to the admissions process. He guided and encouraged me to think more deeply about my goals, motivations and life experiences as well as how graduate studies would fit into my future plans and by doing so, led me on a journey of self-discovery in the process.
Throughout the admissions process, Adam was always friendly, honest, responsive and professional. More importantly, he was always focused on helping me to achieve my goal of getting admitted. His critiques on my essay were always spot-on and brutally honest, which not only helped me to pull out my own unique story, but also helped to effectively communicate who I am. He was also flexible with timing in light of my hectic work schedule and was very responsive; always responding to any queries I had in a timely manner.Adam’s insights, deep knowledge and keen understanding of the admissions process were also extremely helpful and caused me to consider a myriad of points and factors I had not previously considered. Thanks to Adam’s advice, I was able to revise my resume and essay to more effectively communicate my goals, motivations and experiences to the admissions committee.
There is so much more I could add, but I shall end by saying that Adam was both instrumental and a critical factor in helping me finally realize my long cherished dream of being admitted to the Columbia LLM Program, for which I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend him to any potential applicants thinking of applying for graduate studies.
