Consultant Bio

As someone who took a nontraditional path to obtaining his MBA degree, Neil knows the challenges involved with applying to business school and how to differentiate oneself from other applicants. He has extensive experience working with Veritas Prep clients for more than five years, and his guidance has helped several clients move from the waitlist to being ultimately admitted.

During his time at USC Marshall, Neil served as an Ambassador for the Admissions Committee by accompanying prospective applicants to class, answering questions, giving them a campus tour, and also making congratulatory phone calls to newly admitted applicants.

He has diverse work experience in investment management, global transportation, public utilities, and commercial banking.

Neil specializes in admissions consulting for older applicants, graduates of lower-ranked undergraduate schools and those on non-traditional career paths.

    Neil was amazing! Extremely helpful during all phases of the application process, responsive to emails, and willing to assist anytime, Neil was instrumental in helping me get admitted to one of my top choices. In particular, his interview preparation and essay topic brainstorming work was fantastic. He always went above and beyond to help me, and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for assistance with their MBA applications.

  • Exactly What I Needed!!
    4 years ago
    Neil was an awesome consultant! I did the one school package through Veritas Prep and was matched with him. From day 1 he was nothing but a candid professional through the whole process. The bulk of his assistance was with my resume and three essays and I can confidently say that when I hit the submit button on the application I knew that those items were as good as they could possibly be. Every time I sent him a document he provided advice and recommended corrections by that evening. He also conducted a mock admissions interview with me which was extremely helpful and perfectly prepared me for the actual thing. Overall I have zero regrets and would 100% work with Neil again!!!

He was able to give great constructive and comprehensive criticism on which part of my MBA application and profile needed improvement. He is very knowledgeable about the process and definitely helped me make my essays, resume, and application much better. I applied Round 5 and I really don't think I would have made it this far into the MBA application process without his help! Excited to continue working with him on my other MBA applications! Highly recommend! UPDATE: I got off the waitlist at Cornell! Neil did such a great job helping me navigate through my applications and the emotions that go into this process. I highly ...

    Neil was absolutely critical in getting me accepted to my dream school. He pointed out many places in my application that needed to be strengthened and even revamped altogether. Without Neil's experience and advice, I wouldn't have had the success I have.
