I chose to hire an admissions consultant because I didn't want to risk the chance of having to reapply and didn't trust myself to be able to put my best application together alone. Truthfully, my main deciding factor in selecting Admissionado was their price point. In comparison to other services, they were by far the most reasonably priced and I even received a discount on the Junior Deluxe package. Definitely be aware that the lesser price does not mean lesser service. From the very start when I worked with Claudia, she was super friendly and helpful and was there for any questions I had. The whole team has the same vibe that they portray on their website being an easy-going, fun, caring group of people. The majority of my interaction however came with Julie and she was the one with whom I conducted my initial phone call and who worked with me on my essays. She helped me tremendously right from the start on our phone convo in helping me understand exactly what I could get out of an MBA, drawing out my reasons why my short/long term goals, and how to best articulate my story. From there I returned to her a survey (which is critical so I recommend you spend a lot of time answering completely) and she put together my Action Plan which was basically my road map for my entire application. She helped me pick out my best stories, strengths, and weaknesses and was very patient with me on revising my essays multiple times. She kept trying to dig deeper and deeper to get the best info out of me and into my essays, and she phrased questions to me that really made me think. Julie was always positive, encouraging, helpful, and prompt. It was a stress-free process to communicate with her and use her revisions and notes to develop a polished essay. In the end, I was accepted to UCLA which was the school we had worked on together, so mission accomplished. Admissionado also provided tons of published material on resumes, application tips, essay help, etc. which I used extensively. If you want a streamlined approach from a consultant to help align your best possible story and nail your essays then the Junior Deluxe package from Admissionado can't be beat.
