"One of the best decisions I made"
Working with John DC Miles from Admissionado was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application journey. From the very first conversation, John brought a level of strategic insight, candor, and personalized support that made a real difference in how I approached my application. John didn't just help me refine my story — he helped me discover it.

"Application strategy tailored for my strengths"
I had a wonderful experience working with John Miles and the rest of the Admissionado team! I began working with the team around May and I received the same level of support through my application deadlines in October. I considered myself an above average writer before working with the team; however, after working with the Admissionado team I learned so many new techniques.

"Got into Wharton, Yale, and Chicago"
I got into Wharton, Yale, and Chicago with hundreds of thousands of $$$ in scholarships. International student, no fancy background, no prestigious universities in CV... Mark became my first ray of hope in all this madness. From our first call, Mark believed in me. It might sound simple, but for me, it was everything.

Honestly? Not always. If your profile is straightforward and your
writing is sharp, you might only need a few hours of
pressure-testing rather than a full package. But in tough cycles
where sounding indistinguishable from the pack is the real risk,
the gap between a "ding" and an "admit" is often the strategic
work we do
before
the first essay gets written —
positioning, school selection, narrative architecture. That's
where consulting earns its keep.
All of them. M7 (HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, Booth, Kellogg,
Sloan, Columbia), the rest of the top-tier US programs (Haas,
Yale SOM, Ross, Stern, Tuck, Darden, Anderson, Fuqua, Johnson),
and major international programs (LBS, INSEAD, IESE, HEC, IE,
Oxford, Cambridge, ISB). Our consultants are matched to your
target list based on their own program experience and your
specific positioning needs.
After your free consultation, we look at your background,
industry, target school list, and the specific strategic
challenges in your profile — then assign a lead consultant whose
experience lines up. You also get a dedicated essay specialist
paired with that consultant. If the chemistry isn't right after
the first working session, we'll swap. No drama.
Usually, yes. We'd rather recalibrate around a realistic R2
deadline than rush you into a weaker R1 submission. The earlier
we have that conversation the better, since consultant capacity
fills up. We don't penalize round shifts for legitimate reasons.
Yes — and a meaningful share of our clients are re-applicants,
including folks previously dinged by M7 schools who came back
and got in. The work usually starts with an honest diagnosis of
what fell short the first time (often it's not what the
applicant assumed), then reshapes the school list, narrative,
and supporting materials accordingly.
No, and we'll explain why on the consult. A real "guarantee"
usually requires the firm to pad your school list with
programs well below your competitive level so they can claim a
win. That wastes your time and money. What we guarantee is the
caliber of the work — experienced consultants, rigorous
strategy, honest feedback whether you want to hear it or not.
When that's paired with a smart school list, the outcomes follow.
Consulting talent — the ability to ask the smartest questions
and pull on the right threads to surface the parts of your
profile you didn't know were interesting, then build a strategy
that holds up under adcom scrutiny. Plus a team-based model
(lead consultant + essay specialist) so you get depth on both
strategy and writing without one person stretched thin across
twelve applications.
Yes — use promo code GMATCLUB300 during your free consultation (or enter it on the free consultation form) to activate your exclusive $300 partner discount on any MBA Application Services package: Silver, Gold, or Platinum. Valid on Application Services packages only (not Advanced Planning, a la carte, or hourly support), one per client. No expiry dates, no promo windows, no hoops — the deal is live year-round as part of our exclusive GMAT Club partnership.
