Sam was invaluable in crafting my MBA applications. As someone from an overrepresented ethnic (Asian) and work (consulting) background, I was concerned about crafting an application that would differentiate me.

I spoke with over 15 admissions consultants (mix of small and big-name) before deciding to work with Sam. The clear differentiator was his process – no other consultant I spoke with wanted to craft the entire application LIVE. We spent our first couple of hours discussing my life story and background. Sam was able to quickly piece together common threads in my life that could serve as a good foundation for my narrative. We spent hours every week on Zoom, brainstorming and writing essays until we both felt they were complete. He was open to redoing and reworking essays as many times as we felt necessary – his goal is to create the best product possible. We had so many iterations of every essay, which made me feel like we left absolutely no stone unturned.

Sam is pleasant to work with, motivating, and extremely thorough. He has a great nose for topics that are overdone or won’t fit well with your narrative. He is an exceptional storyteller and goes above and beyond. I highly, highly recommend working with Sam – he made a long and stressful process feel much more manageable.
