Product Admissionado *** Deluxe Package
Consultant Seth Shapiro
Seth and the Admissionado team were awesome to work with! Really efficient with essay help/edits, practical and nuanced advice, and great personalities all around. I especially appreciated Seth's background in finance/investing, which allowed him to provide a lot more nuanced and practical advice for my profile compared to any other consultant I had intro calls with. The Admissionado team was also always transparent with advice/evaluations, and never tried to scare me into doing more than I needed to/purchase more services than I already had (which is sadly something not uncommon among MBA consultants, and I had several friends also applying to MBA in my cycle get scammed into purchasing additional consulting services they didn't find useful or get unnecessarily freaked out by their consultants about immaterial issues).
Product Admissionado * Basic Package
Consultant Seth Shapiro
This is a fantastic admissions consultant service. Seth is very good at working with clients (prospective business school students). The rest of the team is organized in laying out a work plan/schedule and sticking to it. They helped me get into several top business school programs, and even before I heard back from schools, I felt really strongly about the quality of the applications I submitted. The intro calls I had with other admission consultants all felt like they were trying to scare me into buying their product, and convince me that I was already running behind. Admissionado was supportive from the start. Not only did I get into fantastic business schools, but I truly believe this service shaped me to become a better writer and communicator.
Product Admissionado ** Junior Deluxe
Consultant Seth Shapiro
I was very satisfied with Seth and the Admissionado Junior Deluxe package. It was a great option for a candidate in my shoes, as I have a solid profile overall (good undergrad, work experience, GMAT score, etc.) but needed some help speaking the language of admissions consultants. In terms of final outcomes, I used this service for Booth and Kellogg, and was ultimately admitted to Booth (my top choice) and waitlisted at Kellogg.
I appreciate that Admissionado paired me with Seth in particular, as he had similar work experience and so was able to get up to speed on my story and overall profile very quickly. We started with an initial phone call in which Seth asked me questions to tease out unique details of my candidacy and good story ideas for essays, and from there, it was off to the races on essay editing. Seth and the Admissionado essay editing team always responded on a timely basis and were available over email whenever I needed them. Their feedback on each essay draft was very insightful - candidly, I didn't always agree with it, but even in those instances, it was reasonable enough to help me think about each sentence from multiple perspectives.
One thing I struggle with personally is keeping my writing concise, and I would say Seth and team did an excellent job in cutting out the fluff to make every sentence pack a huge punch.
I would highly recommend Seth and the junior deluxe package to any candidate who feels reasonably confident in their overall candidacy, but wants to make sure they are maximizing the value of their essays.
