Thank God for John Sisk

I was passed over by 2 different consulting companies when I decided to work with a consultant for business school. I was 30 when I decided to apply, and despite having a solid undergrad GPA (3.7) and achieving 740 a GMAT Score, every consultant I spoke to cross-referenced me against their ideal profile of a 25-28 year old with similar scores and decided that I wasn't worth their time. There was no scarcity of qualified applicants, and consultants are incentivized by their track record and in their eyes, I simply wasn't worth the time or risk. Additionally, I had in my head I was only going to apply to M7 schools because anything else wouldn't have been worth my own time....John took a chance on me, and I thank god that he did because had he not I would not have gotten accepted into CBS's MBA class 2024.

This story should speak not only to John's talent but also to the character and specifically the style in which he helps his students. He genuinely cares about them, and this translates directly into his effectiveness in his role. He is thoughtful, promit, and extremely considerate in his reviews and commentary, demonstrating an extremly personalized approach to every student. I cou;d not reccomend John more emphatically to anybody else with a similar dream.

John if you're reading this, thank you.
