Great Experience With Great Results - Alex Leventhal

I came across Alex Leventhal through a referral from two colleagues that used him in the past and successfully got into both Stanford and HBS. Initially, I was skeptical about using an admissions consultant but I couldn’t ignore the strong results and positive feedback from my colleagues. When I spoke with Alex for the first time, I felt even more comfortable that he would be a valuable resource during my application process.

Over the course of several months, Alex proved to be even more impactful than I ever expected. What stuck out for me was his genuine interest in getting to know me on a deeper, personal level. He encouraged me to get beyond the “what have I done” and really think about the “who I am”. Based on his guidance, there were several instances where I decided to take my essays in a more personal, self-reflective direction than I otherwise would have. It was Alex’s honest and direct feedback that led me to embrace this approach. Ultimately, I believe this was a key factor in helping me standout amongst other applicants.

In the end, the results continue to speak volumes. I did a complete 2-school package and got into both of the schools I applied to (Columbia and HBS). I was thrilled with the outcome, and I know Alex was a critical component. His feedback was always very insightful, and he challenged me to think about my story in unique ways. Aside from the fantastic result, I also enjoyed the time I spent interacting with Alex. It was clear from the beginning that he really cared about getting to know me and that he was invested in my process. In addition, Alex was highly accessible and no question was ever off limits. I only have positive things to say about my experience and would highly recommend Alex Leventhal to any future MBA applicant. In fact, I have already recommended him to several of my colleagues that are beginning to prepare for the next MBA process!
