P&Q Consultant Reviews

Helped Me Clarify Goals & Get Accepted To Columbia

2 years ago

I am going back for an executive program specifically focused on healthcare management. I had a dream school in mind at the outset, and frankly, I had tunnel vision in the direction of that school. As Adam took me through his and MBA Exchange's process, I was forced to do two things: 1) clarify exactly why I was pursuing a graduate degree and THIS program specifically, and 2) perform real due diligence on the program I was applying to. These two activities revealed a real disconnect between the program I had been gravitating towards and my ultimate goals--which I never would have uncovered if not for Adam's rigorous and structured approach. But that's only half the story. Much more importantly, this same approach helped me identify ...

I am going back for an executive program specifically focused on healthcare management. I had a dream school in mind at the outset, and frankly, I had tunnel vision in the direction of that school. As Adam took me through his and MBA Exchange’s process, I was forced to do two things: 1) clarify exactly why I was pursuing a graduate degree and THIS program specifically, and 2) perform real due diligence on the program I was applying to.

These two activities revealed a real disconnect between the program I had been gravitating towards and my ultimate goals–which I never would have uncovered if not for Adam’s rigorous and structured approach. But that’s only half the story. Much more importantly, this same approach helped me identify the program which fits me PERFECTLY–and armed me with the exact language to tell the admission committee WHY that’s true,

So I got accepted at Columbia, and that’s a huge win. But thinking long term, this experience has helped me be a better decision maker and clearer self-advocate, putting me on a strategic path to reaching my career goals. And for that, I will always owe Adam and MBA Exchange a debt of gratitude.

Received Admits From UChicago, Brown, Cornell, Georgetown, NYU, Johns Hopkins & UPenn

3 years ago

Adam worked with me for MPP and MPA schools and I received admits from 7 out of the 8 schools I applied for. He took out time every day to clarify doubts, edit essays, and improvise my CV. Before working with him, I was sure that I could do this all by myself. But he gave me so much to work on – which made me reflect a lot on my past experiences, goals, and what I desired from grad school. I don't think this could have been possible without him. I received merit scholarships to all programs and I cannot be happier with MBAExchange's service.
