Amazing experience with John DC Miles @ Admissionado

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I worked with John DC Miles from Admissionado for 4 R1 M7 applications. I was admitted to my dream school. John was an amazing consultant and became a personal friend and mentor. I spoke with 8 admission consultants from 6 companies and decided to go with John as he was a great fit. My initial strategy call with John exceeded my expectations. His ability to deconstruct and digest information while providing insightful thoughts was critical in building a strategy plan. He provided prompt (2 days) and honest feedback on my essays. Most importantly, John would spend multiple hours on the phone answering my questions and addressing my concerns.

Great Experience with John

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

John and the team at Admissionado are an amazingly helpful, knowledgeable, and to the point team, and without their insights into my application, I am rather sure I would not have been able to get my admit at Georgetown, but that too with generous funding.
John took the utmost care in understanding my background and my goals, assessing my strengths and weaknesses, and helped me put my best foot forward through school selection, my resume, and SoPs.
The team is very responsive, polite and accomodating and the whole experience with them despite being primarily through email was very smooth.
As I said before, I am quite sure I would be able to bag the admits I have without John's guidance and I highly, highly recommend
Admissionado.

A Great Pleasure to Work with Mark

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Mark helped me to prepare my application package to the Wharton school. And his help was instrumental in helping me getting accepted.

Mark was very attentive, listened carefully about my background, experience, and really tried to understand me. Based on my information, he helped me to carefully created a profile that would highlight my strength. He is very thoughtful and patient throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend working with Mark.

In addition, I really appreciate his help and he was always there whenever I had questions or any rush requests. Mark is also very knowledgeable about the program, helped me to understand what the program is looking for and position myself correctly.

John DC Miles and the Admissionado team were incredible to work with, exceeded all my expectations, and I couldn’t have gotten into multiple top-tier executive MBA programs without their support and guidance! I highly recommend trusting John as your partner through your MBA admissions journey.

Having interviewed multiple MBA admissions consultants before my intro call with John, I immediately recognized that he stood out from the rest. John struck me as being highly knowledgeable and capable and a consultant who would genuinely listen to my story and help me tell it in the best way possible, in my way.

Throughout the entire process, John was a pleasure to work with. John was my strategic partner, who was very engaged and personally invested in my success. John pushed me to work hard from end to end, pulling my application together in the most genuine and compelling way. In addition, John and his editing team were highly efficient. They provided exceptional feedback for fine-tuning my resume and essays, allowing us to complete all deliverables within the ~ four rounds of edits included in the package. However, I firmly believe John would have put my needs first and made exceptions for additional rounds of revisions if my work wasn’t top quality.

I used Admissionado’s Deluxe package for all three schools I applied to, and I appreciated that level of support for each application.

John DC Miles is a top-notch admissions consultant, and I consider myself fortunate to have had the chance to trust him as my strategic partner through this process.

I really appreciate his help and he was always there whenever I had questions or any rush requests. He provided a very useful tips for me while writing the essays, it was very useful. He is very knowledgeable about the program I applied even though my program is not an MBA program. I will highly recommend people to work with him if you want to apply for any master programs.

Great experience with Admissionado + Liz

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

If you are reading this review, then you are probably weighing the cost-benefit analysis of hiring an admissions consultant like I was - thinking "How did we arrive at a world where hiring people to help us get into school is so common?".

Right off the bat, I will say that you have come to the right place. If you are considering seeking help on your business school applications, then rest assured that these review are legitimate. These clients, like myself, have asked the same slew of questions you have, such as: Should I include that trophy I won in high school on my app?; Does XYZ school care that I have 500 followers on twitter?; Should I use Arial or Calibri font on my resume?; Will they even like me???.

The folks at Admissionado reassuringly and firmly addressed all of my questions, never once making me feel silly for asking. They have institutional knowledge and passion to find out who you are, what you want, and how to express that in the best way possible to your target schools.

Being that I do not have any family members or friends who have taken on an MBA path, I chose the Deluxe Package so that I could receive guidance, start to finish, from Admissionado's great team. I then chose 2 schools with the applications the most different from each other so I could apply what Admissionado taught me to other target schools on my own.

My background and career path are non-traditional, coming from the public sector and looking to transition to the gaming industry, but Liz Eavey with Admissionado had no problem helping me craft a compelling, fun, and unique story that was extremely successful. With their help, I was admitted to 4 of my 5 schools and received over $400,000 in fellowship offers.

You can find more of the nitty gritty on Admissionado's process from other reviews, but I will add that Liz was crucial to my success. She helped me structure my application timeline, determine what was worth taking up the valuable 300 word maximum essay real-estate, and reassured me whenever imposter syndrome crept up. She is extremely smart and knows how to get to the heart of the matter, especially when it comes to connecting your experience with your career goals.

Admissionado isn't just a company - they are group of passionate, empathetic, intelligent individuals looking to help other people attaint their goals and asperations.

Thank you Liz and thank you Admissinoado!

Thank you Admissionado!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I entered the MBA application process with a vague idea of what to do, but with Admissionado and Mark Lellouch's help, I walked out of the process with an admission to one of my top choices (Haas) and a hefty scholarship!

From day 1, Mark was encouraging, honest, and direct, giving me the feedback I needed to hear instead of just agreeing with me as some of my friends might. He briefed me on each of the schools I was applying to, helping me understand what each focused on, and helping me organize my thoughts to target each school. In every communication, he was polite, responsive, and always provided a point of view that gave me something to think through. As a consultant myself (albeit not an admissions consultant), Mark is everything that I try to be with my own clients!

As an added bonus, the resume that Mark helped me refine not only helped me with my MBA admission, but also was a key driver in landing me 3 big tech and consulting job offers as well! All in all, I would highly recommend Admissionado and I can't imagine completing the application process without their support.

Amazing counselor and great team

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Working with Karen and the team from Admissionado took my application to heights I had previously thought impossible. Everyone was extremely helpful and responsive and I can't thank them enough. After an initial Zoom call and brain dump, Karen helped me sort through all of my professional and personal experiences to create a cohesive picture of my life for the admissions committee.

Over the course of many emails, my application took shape with plenty time prior to the submission deadline.

With Karen's help, I was accepted to both programs I applied to (Northwestern & NYU) and received partial scholarships and I would recommend her and Admissionado to anyone applying to business school.

Kirill and Admissionado Killed it

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Ecstatic! I got into my dream school (Kellogg with $$) and Kirill was a massive part of that. The Admissionado team and Kirill were so engaged, responsive, and encouraging. Approaching the process on my own, I didn't have a good grasp of how I should frame myself as a candidate, what to actually highlight, or how to communicate my goals. Kirill helped with all these things. The strategy session was eye-opening and his quick responsiveness/openness to all of my questions was exceptionally reassuring. Kirill's comments and questions on my essays were so insightful, I was sometimes blown away. He pushed me to go deeper, and I will forever be grateful. 5/5 stars. Thank you Kirill!

Thank you Admissionado and Mark

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

My big thanks go to the Admissionado team and Mark personally. If I knew all this in advance, I would be more prepared. My only regret is that I didn’t apply to more schools. I'm sure I would have made it to the top 10 for sure. I applied to 3 schools, received invitations for interviews from all schools, and in 2 schools I got on the waiting list (one of the schools is in the top 5). I was admitted to the top 20 school with a scholarship. If my GMAT were 720+ , I would have been accepted to the top 5.

I was very happy to work with this company Admissionado. I have heard before that they are the best in their field and now I am convinced by my own experience. I definitely advise working with Mark personally.
