I came to Adam because I wanted a gut sense check on my application and to make sure that I was doing everything right. I’m on the younger side of applicants and I don’t have a blue chip firm under my name so it was necessary to talk to someone with the breadth of clients who have been through the process like Adam has and he didn’t disappoint. Adam definitely drew out stories from me that I had forgotten about and alwyas told me when something I wrote was bullshit.
I found however, that while his essay help was valuable because I could bounce ideas off of him, where Adam really shone and was valuable was during my interview process. He had me think about how my answers fit certain known Wharton questions and provided stories of those who had made it the previous round. The interview preparation was what really helped me nail my spot in the second rounds.
Adam isn’t going to solve all of your problems if you fundamentally have a poor application, but if you need someone to be there to gut check your essays and really take you through the interview process, he’s your man.
I’m based in Boston, and Adam being based in Japan was actually perfect for me. I work late hours in consulting, and so our late night chats were at a convenient time for both of us, and when I submitted an essay before going to sleep, the next morning it would be ready with comments. He really cares about the application and you as a person and I didn’t feel that he was trying to squeeze every last dime out of me (which is important when you’re hiring a consultant on an hourly basis). Great guy- I highly recommend him
