Testimonial: “Admitted to Wharton + Lauder with Scholarship”

This very gratifying testimonial means a lot to us at Admitify because the client was from a developing country and had a very tough family history. He also worked at a small firm with no real brand weight, but had taken advantage of the company’s size to make significant impact. His review was posted on Poets & Quants Admissions Consultant Directory in April 2026. 

“I began working with Paul in 2024 as I prepared to apply to Harvard, Wharton, and Stanford for the 2024 admissions cycle. At the time, I was struggling to achieve the GMAT score I was targeting, and ultimately, I was not able to reach the level I had hoped for that year.

What stood out immediately was how supportive and flexible Paul was during what was an incredibly stressful period. When I decided to postpone my application timeline by a year, Paul seamlessly moved my engagement to the 2025 cycle at no additional cost and even honored the 2024 pricing, despite his fees having increased. That level of integrity and client commitment is rare.

Beyond that, Paul was instrumental in helping me materially improve my candidacy. He recommended a GMAT tutor with whom he had worked previously and the results were dramatic, with my score improving to a highly competitive level.

What I valued most, however, was that Paul’s support went far beyond simply helping me build a strong MBA application. He was deeply thoughtful, attentive, and highly reflective throughout the process. He took the time to truly understand my story, helping me identify what differentiated me, what motivated me, and which moments in my life had been most formative. I believe this was particularly significant in my application as I come from a highly competitive applicant pool (private equity).

Working with Paul was as much a process of self-discovery as it was an admissions exercise. He helped me clarify not only how to present my candidacy, but also who I am, what I want to do, and why. He is exceptionally responsive, generous with his time, and always willing to push back thoughtfully during brainstorming sessions to help sharpen ideas and bring out the strongest version of your story.

The results speak for themselves: I applied to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Lauder, and Columbia, received interviews, was admitted to Wharton and Lauder with a scholarship, which was my target program, and was waitlisted at Stanford and Columbia.

Overall, I had an outstanding experience working with Paul and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking admission to the most competitive MBA programs in the world. More importantly, I would recommend him to anyone looking to better understand themselves and build an authentic, differentiated narrative.”
