MY STORY OF HIRING AN ADMISSIONS COACH

Here’s an example of how an expert can help. This story is my own…

I was separating from active duty and applying to the top business schools in the country.

I realized I was in a competitive situation. The top schools only admitted 10-20% of the applicants. I had limited time, and I didn’t want to mess around.

I was already making a huge investment to go to business school. But the difference between getting accepted or not getting accepted was slim. I realized I had to leverage every opportunity so I wouldn’t have any regrets.

I heard there was professional help.

Reluctantly, I paid the money and signed up.

My business school consultant met with me regularly, refined my story, and highlighted my strengths. When my confidence waned, his encouragement was steadfast. Little by little, my confidence grew.

I saw my application come together, much better than I would have done on my own.

I turned in essays that I was proud of.

I crushed interviews because I was prepared for them.

In the end, the process worked. I got into my dream business school, far surpassing any expectation.

But that’s not all.

Then the school called and offered a scholarship. A full ride worth $130,000. Beyond my wildest dreams.

That consultant was the best money I ever spent. He showed me what good looked like.

The “I got this on my own” attitude has been within me since birth. But for this ‘turning point’ opportunity, I’m so glad I chose to maximize my chances.
