I have four of my applications due this week and I have not been able to get a hold of my admissions consultant (who changed around). After spending over $6,000, I feel completely abandoned by my admissions consultant. I am also one of the non-traditional types applying to top 10 programs with average grades and gmat. I spent all this money, thinking I was going to get unlimited support, but I am more anxious than ever as the deadlines loom closer
I am already thinking about working with another firm for my consortium applications due on Nov 15 and Round 2. I am looking for another admissions consultant, who will
1)acknowledges receipt of my emails and lets me know when he or she will respond (it does not need to be right away, but alteast within 12-24 hours)
2) guide me through essay brainstorming
3) help me walk through structuring my drafts
4) Be available for questions
Going to a 2nd tier MBA program is not an option for me. With a 690GMAT and 3.5 GPA, loads of leadership experience at a non traditional firm and extremely strong extra curricular and recommendations, I do not think I need to settle for a lower ranked program. I need a consultant who will truly help me get though the process and need recommendations
If anyone else feels that their admission consultant abandoned them, please post so I know I am not alone.

Hey man,
I'm really sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Essentially our business is one that is based on trust. And reliability and speed. And without those things I can understand how you would be upset. The first thing I would do is to let the company know that things are not going well, asking to change consultants if necessary. And if you need to take it one step farther, you can try to change companies. I don't think that going for the "dirt cheap" essay editing services is what you need, because the pricing has its reasons, requiring a certain amount of skill, experience, and knowledge that cannot be bought at dirt cheap prices.
But I think the important thing is to let them know! Email your consultant, and kindly remind him or her that your expectations are much higher, and reminding them of the importance for this in your life, and of the great sums you have paid. If that doesn't work, email management. And if THAT doesn't work, then move on.

Thanks for your response.
I already switched consultants once, as my old consultant left the company three weeks ago. My deadlines are in three days, so changing consultants again wont do any better for the schools I care about.I think I am just going to think about working with another company for R2.
I felt like I was sold "a partner in the process" and what not, and as the most important time of the application comes up- I'm more stressed wondering when I will get an email response from my consultant that he/she received my drafts.
Yes, I reached out to the management who assured me that new consultant would be excellent for me and provide me with the support. I think im over them.
