Pursuing an MBA was a goal of mine for many years. It took a while for the timing to be right and I knew I needed some help from an expert to create the best possible finished product of an application. I searched around a few of the top tier admissions consulting firms and had introductory calls/ meetings with at least 4. Simply put, I had a better feeling when it came to Admissionado and speaking with John Miles for the first time. I felt that he was very honest and motivating - I could tell we would work well together and I would leverage a lot from his insight and direction. I signed up. What was equally impressive, and critical to my experience, was how organized the communication and process was from the start. I admittingly was more directionless than your average MBA candidate in that I was not 100% sure what type of program or even what focus I wanted to pursue in an MBA. John was great in listening to me to talk and dissecting my interests into a path. He was great in tweaking my resume and application including essays. I ended up applying to only 1 school and was accepted. I am very happy and thrilled to be starting my journey soon. I am certain I would not have been as confident submitting my application as I was without John and the Admissionado team. Thank you John!!

I worked with John on a reach school for me given my GMAT score was lower than average, and I believe that I was able to offset my lower test score through writing great essays with John's help and guidance. The application for the school that I applied to included many small essays, and John assisted me with each one of them thus helping me make a strong and cohesive application. We were able to leverage my background and build a compelling narrative for me to use during my applications. John was always available to answer any other questions that that I would have, even questions unrelated to the MBA program itself. Further, the package that I purchase included other ancillary services, including interview preparation, which I found immensely helpful. Overall, I had a great experience working with John and the Admissionado team. I would 100% recommend John to anyone looking for a consultant. Of note, I tried applying to an MBA program by myself a few years back and my application that I crafted with John is far better than anything that I could and did come up with on my own.

If your goal is to get into a top MBA program that may be a stretch for you, then Admissionado is the company for you. John and the rest of the Admissionado team are excellent. They are responsive, friendly, and helpful when you need them most. Their materials are a necessity, but so is their personalised approach to every application and situation. Their essay reviews are insightful and helpful. Their reviews of LORs were essential. I wholeheartedly recommend their services for any MBA application, especially the top 10. I applied to four schools in the top 10. I was admitted to three of the four and was awarded a scholarship to an Ivy League school that I sincerely doubted I would get into. Thanks again, John!

I highly recommend John to everyone who is interested to get an offer from M7 schools! I feel very lucky to have met the team of MBA consultant in Admissionado! They are so helpful through the journey for my application, starting from understanding myself, building the strategy plan, to all details in application packages. It could be a headache to come up with the school essays, but with professional help, you will feel much more confident and prepared in brainstorming, drafting, editing 4 or even 5 times, to finally get the best version of your story. I learned and reflected a lot from the process of MBA application and from working with John. I'm sure other people will feel the same way.

John DC Miles and the Admissionado team has been a tremendous help throughout the MBA application process and i wouldn't been able to achieve the same result without their help. Unlike other admissions consultant, where you only have contact to one admission officer who will handle your entire case, Admissionado work as a team and offer second opinion from a team of writing experts to ensure that you put your best foot forward in the admission process.

Overall really happy with the assistance provided by the team and would highly recommend their services (especially the deluxe package) to anyone that is planning to ace the admission process.

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.

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.

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 enjoyed working with John Miles on my applications to 3 of my dream Schools - Wharton, Haas and CBS; converted the first two with $$.

Coming from a super-competitive applicant pool - Indian Male Engineer - I didn't think I'd get into any of my dream schools, and it wouldn't have been possible without outstanding effort from John and the entire Admissionado team.

Right from the introductory call, I knew I was in great hands. John showed genuine interest in getting to know my background and motives, and understand my choice of B-schools better. What followed was a well-documented analysis and action plan on my strengths and areas to focus on. It was very targeted at me, and had helpful insights on how to make myself stand from the crowd.

I thought I was too late for R1. But the team's prompt responses to my essay drafts and highlights on what to edit & how made sure I was able to submit my R1 applications well ahead of time - without compromising on the quality.
Turnaround on most essay drafts wasn't more than 2 days, better than the 3 days they had promised. Their edit suggestions forced me to introspect more, which ended up making me fill in some of the important details in my essays - something that my lazy mind wasn't originally prepared for.

Special thanks to Rose and Claudia for being on top of the game from behind the scenes, and cheering me up always.
The team is really great (and efficient) at what it does.

All in all, a really great experience working with them and will highly recommend at least setting up an initial phone call with them - you won't be able to turn back from there.
