Creating essay and resume is quite a personal process and it is crucial that you find a person who can offer you insightful and realistic perspective and navigate you through your internal journey, with candid feedback – and this is how Adam can help you. He has unbiased insight about people which really helped me to uncover what I needed to bring out about myself and verbalize precisely the way I felt about it. His articulation helped me so much to express myself in a best way I had difficult time verbalizing. It does not mean he writes for you or put words into your mouth, but he guides you over a thorough discussion. He helped me to write points clearly to communicate my value effectively to AdCom.
Adam knows what is add-value or not to each MBA school. His expertise and rich experience, as well as his frequent research on AdCom/school greatly helped for us to strategically approach essay/interview.
I can also recommend you Adam for his punctuality and high work ethic. Adam made himself available frequently and always got back to me by next day, at latest. He did come back with full preparation and every time there was a new discovery on my side about my essay or myself.
I met him once a week to discuss essay or to practice interview once the phase moved on to next step. He was available in the night (Japan time) over Skype. We mostly did the session at Café Miyama where business meetings are often held, and I liked this style. I would do school research myself or read his blog, and we discussed our analysis on the target schools. He gave me honest comments about my candidacy to each school, and I could make right choices. I got into Chicago and TUCK, and I am very happy with the result. I will be attending Chicago.
He describes essay/interview prep process as a sport – with repetitive practice, strategy, hard work, energy, toughness all required, and I think that I tagged with the best coach. Also, he has good sense of humor, which is very important to get over with the entire essay experience!
