P&Q Consultant Reviews

  • On Time & On Track!
    1 year ago
    I applied to 5 of the M7 business schools while working full-time in consulting. The only reason I was able to complete my applications on time & on track was due to support from Jaime at Vantage Point Consultants. She not only made sure that I centered the message of my applications on my story, vision, and goals, she made sure that I hit every milestone necessary to apply round 1 to all 5 schools with applications that were complete and well-rounded. I was ultimately admitted to 3/5 schools, with a cumulative $250K+ in scholarship offers - thanks Jaime!

She took the time to help me craft and articulate my 'story' and future ambitions, which ultimately became the foundation of my essays. She helped me think about my application holistically to ensure I highlighted all of the relevant parts of my candidacy and wove them together into a cohesive package. I felt so ...

  • Fantastic Person, Fantastic Outcomes!
    3 years ago
    There were several things in mind when I looked for an admissions consultant: vast experience, strong communication skills, and being from an overrepresented group (Big 4 International male management consultant) the ability to help tell a story. A lot of the other admissions consultants I spoke with seemed interested in either force-fitting me into their box, but not Jaime and Melody, who more than fit the criteria I was looking for. Working with them was truly a joy: we collaborated on first discovering, then weaving a narrative that was compelling. So compelling in fact, that I got a $150,000 scholarship to an M7 school, as well as an admittance with a scholarship to another Top 10 school! Jaime also went above and beyond during the ...
