Admissionado - Marcela Pipitone

My Admission Consultant, Marcela Pipitone, has been incredible and I would recommend her to anyone applying to business school. When I began the preparation process I was determined to apply to a top 10 business school, preferably top 5. Among others, I was admitted to Chicago Booth and INSEAD. I am confident that without Marcela this would have not been possible.

What first stood out to me during our initial call, was how friendly she was. In comparison to other admission consultants that I had interviewed she truly seemed interested in understanding my whole story instead of just boiling down to the numbers.

Marcela has proved to be a great support throughout the whole process. When I began to draft my essays for Round1 I realized that my story would need some extra polishing to really shine. I shared this with Marcela and we devised a plan in which I would apply to several schools in Round 1 and the rest in Round 2. Marcela was extremely supportive in the moments where the whole process would be just overwhelming.

She is also extremely dedicated and professional. Her turnaround time for my essays and other application document revisions was very consistent (72 hours but most times less). Her comments were always sharp and made me notably improve my essays. I in fact shared several of my essays (first and final version) with different family members and friends to get a third opinion on how useful hiring a consultant could be. Everyone was impressed by the improvement. All agreed that I could not have achieved it alone, no matter how many hours I would have put into it.

I certainly recommend Marcela to anyone who is thinking to apply to business school.
