P&Q Consultant Reviews

  • My Best Choice In The Application Process
    2 years ago
    I first got to know Vantage by reading their MBA preparation package. That package helped me a lot and led me to reach out and get help from Alicia. I have to say that the material pack made my application package a solid foundation, and Alicia helped made them alive. By providing me with perspectives from both a consultant and former AO, she showed me how to build up a material pack to display the real me. Moreover, she was super responsive to my application as it was hers. I really enjoyed the whole process.

  • A Guide, Mentor & A Friend!
    3 years ago
    My words are short of describing how incredible Alicia and Vantage Point are!! I spoke to many consultants and they were all about money and very cut and dry. Vantage Point and Alicia were GENUINE!! They gave me honest feedback on my application, timelines etc. When I had to shift from Round 1 to Round 2, Alicia was more than supportive. She was more of a thought partner and a guide and directed me not just on the process but actually on how to think about my application with the broader scheme of things. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!!

  • The Greatest Decision I Made!
    3 years ago
    Alicia and the Vantage Point are INCREDIBLE! I had a 15-minute consultation with one of the "big named" firms and they were short, dismissive, and generic. Vantage Point was the complete opposite and I'm so grateful I put my trust in this team! From day one, Alicia was all in and made the entire application process easier, clearer, and actually enjoyable. I was a challenging applicant in that I had to overcome some undergrad obstacles, had only 3 months to apply last round, and was also studying to take the GRE one week before apps were due. She was honest and constructive but continuously encouraging throughout the process. I'm a unique candidate and Alicia made sure that I embraced my quirk and showed my personality throughout ...

  • AMAZING
    3 years ago
    Alicia has been amazing to work with. She takes time to truly understand your goals/story before delving into how to best shape your application and position your application for success. Was a re-applicant and utilized the Ding Analysis + Hourly Services to gain acceptance to a top 7 school. She makes herself readily available to ensure you meet deadlines with a final product that you feel truly exemplifies your best qualities/you are happy with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

  • Exactly What I Needed
    5 years ago
    Alicia was great; easy to schedule calls with, timely in providing high-quality feedback on application materials, quick to adapt to changing ideas and situations (the company, in general, was good at that).

  • Alicia made the process super easy!
    6 years ago
    Had an excellent experience working with Alicia and with Vantage Point! I was pretty skeptical of admissions consultants when I reached out, but my initial chat with Melody (Vantage founder) and correspondence made me feel way less pressured than I did in speaking to larger firms that were just trying to upsell me some package that I didn't really need (had been waitlisted year before so was at least close to understanding what to do). Alicia was very warm and delivered feedback in a constructive, optimistic way that made it easy to take her advice! Very glad to have gone to a small firm that clearly cares about their clients! As for Alicia, her feedback as a re-applicant to be less formal and let my ...
