P&Q Consultant Reviews

  • Great guidance
    7 years ago
    I just heard from HBS and I've been accepted in Round 3!! I found Michael's input really useful, both with the guidance on essay direction and interview prep. You can count on him to be relentlessly logical. Be warned, he will poke holes in your carefully constructed arguments so he's definitely not for the faint-hearted :). My advice to anyone working with Michael: he's great, reflect on his advice seriously and craft your own story in your own voice.

  • Best of the Best in MBA Consulting

    Michael was instrumental in my MBA admissions process and I could not recommend him more highly. He truly went above and beyond to help me craft the best application possible. Having also worked with another reputable consultant briefly, I can say that there really was no comparison between the two and that in working with Michael you are receiving the highest quality product available. He completely transformed my resume from a resume that was a barely readable to a polished final version that best highlights my skills and experience. My essays similarly shined after a lot of work with Michael in a way that would have been nearly impossible without his guidance. He is there whenever you need him throughout the process. Michael even went ...

  • Admissions expert who genuinely cares about your success

    I used Michael's resume editing service while applying to business school. He reviewed every line of my resume and provided detailed feedback about formatting and content by phone and email. He wanted each bullet point to be a value-add. By the end of the revision cycle, it transformed into a more results oriented, impactful resume. Thanks Michael. I'll be attending Chicago Booth in the fall!

  • Dedicated, thorough. Goes above and beyond
    8 years ago
    I've applied for Wharton EMBA in SF. I've used the services of Michael for essay writing, resume and interview preparation. Calling Michael just an admission consultant is an extreme understatement. He was there, available through out the process of application. He is more of a coach/friend than just a consultant. Always a phone call away. His ability to visualize exactly what you are trying to portray is simply amazing. His involvement has surely made all the difference to my application. In every aspect. Essays, recommendations, resume, interview. His understanding of different demographics and using that to your application is phenomenal. I'd recommend Michael for applications without batting an eyelid.
