Harvard Admit – Couldn’t Have Done It Without Alice!
When I found Alice, I was a reapplicant to many of the top MBA programs in the US. Having endured the process for a year before I met her, I had worked with a handful of admissions consultants that were good, but not exceptional. I was looking for that one consultant that could not only get me across the finish line but also make sure I did so with a podium finish. Alice was that consultant for me. And here are three reasons why.
1. Organization: Alice and her team’s standout basecamp platform provides you with dashboard access to personalized modules that cover the entire application journey – resume building, networking with current students/alumni, essay drafting, GMAT prep, interview prep, and upcoming deadlines. In my months of experience with top MBA consultants, I have never come across a platform so seamless that kept me on top of not only application requirements, but also highly recommended efforts like networking and admissions events that give applicants an extra edge. The platform also facilitated communication between me, Alice, her team, and other applicants.
2. Knowledge: Have a blemish on your profile? Alice knows how to fix it. And in some cases, even make it look like a strength. She spent countless hours working with me to understand my background, my weaknesses, and my strengths and used the information to highlight and package the good (work experience, initiatives, awards, etc) and find strategic ways to explain the bad (low GPA, recommenders, etc). The end result – an application that presents the most compelling version of myself possible.
3. Persistence: Alice will not let you submit an application that she thinks will get dinged. In fact, she will meticulously work with you to ensure your essays (including short answer responses and the fill-in-the-blanks you think don’t matter) are in the best possible shape. One of my essay drafts was rewritten, edited, and proofread 21 times before she finalized it (and yes, it resulted in an admit).
Alice is a godsend. I could not possibly recommend her more. In my first cycle (without Alice) I was rejected from USC Marshall. And this fall (with Alice) I’m going to Harvard.
