Product Admissionado ** Junior Deluxe
Consultant Phillip Herring
After talking to several admission consultants, I've decided to go with Admissionado as they offer flexible services. Claudia was very responsive for the whole process. I purchased a junior deluxe package for two schools. The package includes 5 edits and I have to admit that the final product is 200% better than my initial essays. Phillip is amazing to work with and he is very good digging into my story. And he can always guide me to the right direction. Although I only got a package for 2 schools, I was able to recycle the essays to apply for a few schools. And fortunately, I got into my dream school. I enjoyed working with the team and I wouldn't be able to get accepted to 5 out of the 7 schools I applied without Admissionado. If you are lost and don't know where to start with your MBA application, I highly recommend Admissionado and Phillip's services.

Consultant Phillip Herring
I am a re-applicant who applied five school last year and got 0 interviews, and I did not work with any admission consultant.
This year, at first I was skeptical to use a MBA consulting agency, but I decided to give a try to Phillip at Admissionado, and only applied two schools - Columbia Business School and UCLA Anderson this year at round 1. I have received two interviews from both school within 20 days of application submission. A 100% rate.
I believe Phillip played a critical role making this happen because of the following:
1) He is a very nice and easy going person to talk to, and also very encouraging when I had my doubts. This makes our email and phone conversations enjoyable, constructive and efficient. He would comprehensively analyze and design my applications as a whole, and give the best suggestions regarding my resume and application essays.
2) He has a very clear structure and philosophy towards essay writing. He told me to use this well-designed essay structure that would get me into all the top schools, because the structure was exactly what the Admission Committee looked for. I applied this structure to all my essays, and got all my interview invites already within 20 days after submitting my applications.
3) Phillip holds his editing standard very high. His editing definitely made a difference for my essays. For example, my first draft had 1000 words for CBS, he skillfully cut the word count under the 500 word limit without losing any of the content, even better - he made the essay concise, easier to read and its logic flow much better. He returned my essays fast with great quality to make sure I could submit my applications before the deadline.
Overall, I highly recommend Phillip at Admissionado to anyone applying to their dream schools.
Product Admissionado *** Deluxe Package

Before I start Admissionado, I was skeptical. Personally I don't believe that someone could get me into the place that I cannot get myself into, especially with my own professional service background. However, Claudia spent so much time talking to me answering my questions to get through my hesitation.
I was in a tricky position before I apply to CBS - I DIYed 2 applications before this and none of them ended with even an interview. I quit my job for personal reason so I was applying without a job. On a candidate strength level, my GMAT is border line ( I retook it 3X but ended with even lower scores every time) given the competitive demographic I was in and I was not involved in any leaderships in NPOs.
Phillip spent more than 1 hour on the phone with me to analyze the strength and weakness of my candidacy. He provided a detailed analysis over my strength, including some I did not even see for myself such as I had some great involvement with people in my side business so that compensates any lack of extracurricular after I started work.
The essay went back and forth more than 5 times. Phillip really provided meaningful comments in terms of giving evidence to support the sentences that I was writing. He also provided the sentence structures that I can start with for the examples. For a English-as-second-language candidate, those comments were so helpful for me to write concise but well- supported paragraphs throughout the whole application.
Overall, I only applied CBS and got into my dream school. I would have not done it without Adminssionado.
