Consultant Julia Hazen
I worked with Julia Hazen, Rose Ngo, and Claudia Nelson for R2 applications to multiple schools including M7 and top international schools. I had a high GMAT, average GPA from a non-Ivy undergrad school, and relatively average working history. I ended up with multiple admits including getting into my dream school and was also offered substantial scholarship money.
Like most applicants I spent a lot of time and effort on these applications. Admissionado offered a competitive advantage compared to many applicants by helping me understand my profile and how I was coming across in my applications from an independent perspective that also clearly understood what admissions committees look for. The team also helped me distill what made me unique and how to tell my story in as compelling a way as possible. Not only was this critical to the application process, it also helped me understand myself better and see clearly the unique parts of my background and strengths, which was extremely valuable beyond business school applications, but also in my career.
Overall the majority of the help Admissionado's team provided was for the essay process. They also helped with interview prep, misc. questions about the application process, and also were great supporters throughout the stressful process.
Hiring an admissions consultant is a big investment however for me it clearly paid off. The amount of scholarship money I've been offered significantly outweighs the cost of working with Admissionado. Going to a top business school is a life changing event which will be extremely expensive anyway, so to me it made complete sense to spend additional money and maximize my chances of admissions, while also 'earning' the cost back in the form of scholarships. I highly recommend all other prospective students consider working with them as well.
