It was my pleasure working with John for my LBS MiF application, he helped me and guided me through the whole process especially finalizing the essay and walk me through the interview process. Really appreciate his effort!!
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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

I took the Junior Deluxe package + MBA Resume service. I got into my target school, and I am convinced that without Mark’s help my application would have been declined.

My background and career path are non-traditional, and I have had little exposure to international MBA graduates. I knew that with enough time and research I could probably get by without a consultant, but balancing work + post-grad diploma + GMAT prep was already too much to handle at the time and because there was so much at stake I decided to shell out for a consultant. In hindsight, it was one of the best decisions I could have made.

Mark is pleasant to deal with but can be brutally honest when he needs to get you out of your comfort zone. We went over my MBA resume and essays multiple times. I would say that the stories and content come from the applicant and are like a collection of pictures and Mark helps you create a montage of these unique stories representing what the adcom are looking for in an MBA applicant.

I highly recommend Mark to applicants who do not have a good idea of how to market themselves to an adcom.

I was immediately reminded of why I decided to hire a consultant after Mark’s first review of my resume.

I had a great time with Mark, through the Deluxe Package. With his help, I got admitted to two of the schools that i was aiming for: HEC and INSEAD.

I immediately clicked with Mark, as he was very kind and open to my ideas and discussions. He listened to my "biography" and understood very quickly my strengths and weaknesses. On this basis, we were able to form a solid strategy and worked on a very short schedule to keep up with the deadlines. Although you have to work hard yourself, you will always be assured that you are working on the right track, and that the end will be rewarding: you will know more about yourself (honestly, who doesn't want to) and will be admitted into your dream school (yay)!

Mark also helped me with the interviews, where he opened my mind about the whole process which really reduced my preparation stress and made me much more confident going into them.

Mark and the whole team, Claudia and Rose, were very responsive and were always available and encouraging.

Overall, I had a great experience with Mark and the whole team and would like to recommend them to anyone who is kinda lost in this admission process and want to succeed.

I very much enjoyed working with Admissionado. You get two consultant: an MBA application strategist (MBA graduate) and a writing expert (a professional writer). Once you set up your application material in a structured way with the help of MBA application strategist, you won't need to struggle and think about what to write for many essays you may be required. All your strongest stories will be reflected in the material that you'll just need to use to finally tell them on paper. With some tweaks and tips, you'll be able to deliver them super clearly, convincingly, and memorably - the writing expert will do some magic but will still maintain your level of writing. This teamwork is super effective and fun. I wholeheartedly believe that Admissionado's creative MBA consulting service played a crucial role in helping me to get into INSEAD.

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.
