Paul Made It Possible (GSB Admit With $100K+)
“Tl;Dr – working with Paul was the best MBA-related decision I made. Having worked with a different leading MBA consulting company the year prior, Paul was everything that I had thought was missing in my last experience. I advise you to put the cost investment of working with Paul into perspective (i.e., the cost of attending an MBA program) and assure you that the money spent is absolutely worth it!
Here are the three most important things I would like you to know about working with Paul:
1. Trust; Paul genuinely cares: I learned to blindly trust Paul early on after I had just been dinged by GSB (I had worked with a diff consultant that year) and was deciding between re-applying or going to Haas. Paul spent a lot of time and effort (more than what I had paid for) reviewing my dinged app, identified a lot of areas where my application could be elevated, but still recommended going to Haas. Only after I found a new role that considerably improved my candidacy did he suggest we give GSB another shot. This showed me that he prioritized my success over finding another client.
2. Meticulous/detailed red-lining: As I mentioned earlier in my review, I had worked with a leading competitor before and had hated how their comments/edits to the essay were broad strokes and tough to action. On the other hand, when you receive a red-lined version from Paul, you can see that every word has been read thoroughly, evaluated individually, and curated carefully to crisply convey the core message without losing the applicant’s voice.
3. Relationship/above and beyond: Paul goes above and beyond for you without thinking about “the most time-efficient way to get the app done” for himself. Working with Paul feels like working with a close friend and confidant. I remember spending multiple zoom sessions just word vomiting at him, as he took notes, and made concise suggestions in the end that seemed to capture everything I mentioned. Paul really knows how to get to the crux of what you want to get out there to the application committee. Even after I got into the GSB, he spent additional time helping me write my financial aid essay, which got me $100K+ in scholarship. He is the absolute best!!”
