I’m highly recommending Admissionado to all the MBA hopefuls out there. I’ll add that they were also recommended to me. That should speak volumes to you. These guys make you so happy you want to pass it along.

When I began my MBA journey I couldn't imagine using a consultant. I even bristled at first at the idea. That’s when a very good friend of mine at a top three program explained in detail the value of a consultant and of Admissionado in particular.

From first contact I was impressed by the team’s energy, responsiveness and sheer desire to help me achieve my goals. But the experience I’ll take with me was working with my consultant Phillip. He did more than just help me develop a game plan to tackle the application process. He really helped me figure out who I was, what I wanted and how to put it all on paper. This forced self-examination was at times painful, frustrating and confusing but it was well worth it. I emerged a better candidate and probably a better person for having rediscovered myself and with clearly defined goals.

Now that I’m at the end of my journey with my golden admit ticket in hand, they continue to be among my biggest cheerleaders and I theirs. They are a hip, smart group who are really serious about their work and getting you where you need to be. If you trust them and work hard, the sky’s the limit.

I decided to use a consulting service after speaking with various friends who told me that it would pay off. They were right! Last week I got the call from admissions telling me I was accepted at Columbia! After doing a bit of online research and speaking with the team, I decided to work with Admissionado. From the get go, my consultant Phillip was extremely helpful and very good about keeping me on track. Phillip was very detailed in his edits of all of my essays and really helped me create a cohesive and interesting story for the adcom. He went above and beyond and even helped me with editing my resume and provided some advice on the interview process. I really feel that I would not have experienced such positive results without Phillip's help. I highly recommend Admissionado if you are considering working with a consultant!

If somebody asks me about my experience with Admissionado, I would recommend them without hesitation and say it was a pleasure working with those guys which resulted in my acceptance to Kellogg 2Y Program :)

I decided to seek for consultant support after being dinged without interview last year at each of three schools I was applying to. Because the process of writing essays is completely non-existent in my country, I thought this might be the biggest area of improvement.

After talking to several consultants I decided to go for Admissionado. I liked their combination of general outlook on my candidacy provided by MBA alum and essay editing support by a professional writer.

Phillip, my consultant, was very helpful and supportive throughout the process. He challenged my ideas on essays and provided some suggestions on stories that might work better based on my resume. It proved effective because I put emphasis on other experiences than in previous year's applications and eventually got 2/3 interviews and one acceptance letter versus to 0/3 the year before :)

Long story short, I got what I needed - an improvement in my essay writing skills which got me to one of my target schools. It was delivered very professionally and with likable style which made the process of putting my stories on paper very smooth and effective. Thanks Phillip, Lauren and all you guys who helped me with my application! :)

I was truly amazed with the level of service I received through the Admissionado team. They are a great team and everyone from the coordinator to the consultant are very approachable and easy going. They work with you to match your needs and are take what they do very seriously.

Before going with Admissiondo I had worked with other consulting firms and that was probably one of the worst investments I had ever made. So before signing up with the Admissionado team, I interviewed many of their competitors and had an extensive experience with some. I really like what they did and their positive attitude and decided to go with them.

They have many distinguishing factors. One thing that I really appreciated about them is that they really go above and beyond to get the work done. And truly give it their best every time.

My consultant was Phillip Herring and I can't say enough good things about him. Working with him, you will truly see that these guys aren't just trying to get the work done and move on. Phillip really cared about my essays and gave it his best on every revision.

Even at times when I had only 2 days left to submission, if Phillip was not absolutely happy with the quality of essay we were submitting and felt it wasn't the best representation of my background and personality, he would mark pages in red and leave paragraphs of detailed comments and shared strategies to turn the essay around. If you are really willing to make the effort, these guys will take time out of their life to make sure you get the best service.

Given our 3 hour time zone difference, Phillip would stay up late at nights to discuss last minute changes. They have an amazing turn around time and truly do their best job on every revision. Every essay is reviewed by a consultant as well as a professional editor.

It is definitely worth the investment. Great team. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for some help with the apps.

When I started planning for my MBA applications I knew I had lot to offer but I also knew that I wasn't really good at talking about myself, which is what admission essays are all about. So I consulted mbaAdmissions and Admissionado. My consultation with mbaAdmissions was disappointing. The mbaAdmissions consultant timed the entire converstation and didn't followup with me regarding our conversation until few days later. The experience made me feel that mbaAdmissions was too busy for my business and left me with a bad taste.

My next consultation was with Admissionado and it was completely opposite to what I had experienced with mbaAdmissions. Admissionado stayed on the call as long as it was needed to answer all my questions. The consultant also followed up right away the next day. I later found out that the consultant was actually on a vacation when he talked to me. I was extremely impressed with Admissionado team members and with their diligence in helping their clients (even on their day off!).

As I mentioned before, my schedule was always extremely busy. By the time I balanced work and took my gmats I had limited amount of time to get my essays done. Admissionado worked closely with me to not only help me tell the right story through my essays but they also helped me get them done in a timely manner.

At one point I misread the essay instructions on the application and ended up being short of one essay. Since the application deadline at that time was only one week away, I started to panic. Admissionado really pulled through for me in that situation. The team helped me get everything done with the same level of high quality.

The feedback on the essays were fantastic! They dug deep and asked some great questions allowing me to paint a detailed picture for the adcom. Needless to say the process also allowed me to learn a bit more about myself. English is my second language. Admissionado helped not only shape the content of the essays but also with how the story should be told. Best of all.. Admissionado made the stressful process of applying to MBA school a lot of fun!! The team was extremely approachable, helpful, and lot of fun to work with!

After having much drama with a individual editor who basically left me high and dry one week before applications were due, I called Admissionado in a panic. Lauren was super friendly, helpful, extremely positive and proactive. She worked to get me set up with the services I needed in a very short time frame, and within my very limited budget.

I was able to have a free consult with Phillip and was sold. I explained to him my situation and he was very positive, telling me that he would be able to help me even in this short time frame. He was very knowledgeable, funny and made the process of "beautifying" my essays easy.

I would highly, highly recommend this group to anyone in need of any type of service!
