A Wonderful Experience

Having done my due diligence on a couple of firms and a handful of consultants, I found myself gravitating back to Bill Chionis who was acting as the gatekeeper/broker to the roster of SBC consultants when we first spoke.

Although his colleagues were undoubtedly competent and experienced, I felt a personal connection to Bill, and felt as though he truly understood how my profile and future intentions were well aligned with Columbia's JTerm in particular, and I'm happy to say this was the correct instinct!

Given Bill's wisdom and ability to empathize with the Adcom, I was able to put my best foot forward in drafting my application, while eliminating unforced errors.

Essentially, if Bill were a soccer coach, his team would score more goals than otherwise, while having fewer scored upon them.

Just as a good coach needs a strong support staff, the rest of SBC were up to the task. I was able to improve my messaging further through working with a former Columbia adcom member as part of the Flight Test offering (included in my All-In package), and another former Columbia adcom member for my Interview Prep (additional hour purchased by me).

All said, if I had to start the process again, I would hope to first be drafted by Bill & his team!
