Product ARLee Consulting Review of Resume/CV, Essays and LORs
Consultant Alex Ruiz Lee
Strengths:
The perspective Alex brought to my Stern application was incredible! Here were some strengths:
- Specific and impactful suggestions that strengthened my narrative.
- Quick to respond and accommodating with tight deadlines, which was reassuring and very considerate.
- Helped me organize my experiences into a compelling, cohesive story.
- The feedback clearly demonstrated expertise in knowing what MBA programs look for.
- He pushed me to improve certain elements of my application without being overwhelming and offering constructive critiques that could be easily implemented.
Would make the product better:
One small thing that could have maybe been improved:
- A little more clarity on the services provided would have been nice (just feedback, no edits) - but it's understandable that it's just feedback given the nature of the review
Working with Alex for my Stern application was a highly valuable experience! He took the time to understand my background and goals, and quickly identified how I could position myself in my application. His detailed, structured approach to storytelling was exactly what I needed to organize my essays, goals, and resume in a way that connected each aspect of my journey to my aspirations.
One of Alex's greatest strengths is his responsiveness. With the deadline quickly looming, it was reassuring to know I could rely on him to review and provide feedback on such short notice. The feedback I received, backed by both his personal experience and professional expertise, were small enough so that the edits were quick, but impactful enough to make a huge difference to my application.
Overall, I would definitely recommend ARLee Consulting, especially for applicants who want focused, honest feedback that challenges them to refine their story. Alex will provide that guidance with a thoughtful, no-nonsense approach!
Note for transparency: I won the "Last-Minute Application Review Package" from the GMAT Club Olympics.
Hi xhym,
thank you so much for your detailed review and kind words! It was a pleasure working with you on your Stern application, and I'm so happy to hear that you found the feedback impactful and helpful in organizing your story.
I really appreciate your note about the clarity of the services included in the 'Last-Minute Application Review Package' you won during the GMAT Club Olympics. It's well noted! I usually don't respond to reviews, but I wanted to take this opportunity to explain a bit about the package. Given its nature, which is aimed at reviews typically conducted just 2-3 days before the deadline, the primary focus is on ensuring the right story is in place. The goal, within the limited timeframe, is to help applicants strengthen their narrative and position themselves effectively, rather than perfecting every word or crafting polished essays from scratch.
That being said, I do provide actionable feedback and edits where necessary. In your case, your excellent writing skills and ability to execute feedback so effectively meant that no further edits were needed - at least, not edits that would add value to the message. Your essays already conveyed a strong, cohesive story that reflected your unique voice - something I consider essential to preserve for every client. Furthermore, for your Stern application, as you noticed, a significant amount of attention was devoted to the Pick Six, given its importance in portraying your personality and values.
Once again, I truly appreciate your feedback. Thank you for letting me be a part of your MBA journey. Wishing you all the best with Stern and the rest of your applications!
Warm regards,
Alex
