John is always willing to give a helping hand and gives 100% effort in order to bring forth positive results for those seeking his assistance. His expertise and knowledge regarding successful applications to top MBA programs were key in deciding my most effective application strategy. His watchful eye and strong communication skills were vital for an efficient analysis and refinement of my essays. John's wisdom, friendliness and accessibility make him an ideal professional Admissions Consultant.

John was very helpful in making me understand the intricate details of a sophisticated application. He helped me realize the significance of minor aspects of my candidacy, which helped strengthen my application and get admitted at Kellogg!

John helped me focus my ideas on what the admissions office are looking for instead of my general unguided ramblings that would probably fit better in a novel.

John N. is an amazing counselor. He was very quick, clear, thorough and responsive throughout the process. I had a very tight timeline before my application was due and John helped me submit a strong application and get admitted into McCombs!

John was great at helping me frame my ideas and put together very strong B-School applications. Requesting John’s counseling was definitely a good decision

John had helped me a great deal through my application process. He knew the process very well and was sincerely trying to help me. While I might be slow at understanding some application elements, John was very patient and answered all my questions in details. With John’s overall strategy and step-by-step approach, I was finally admitted by Harvard Business School. I’d recommend John as the advisor to any MBA applicants.

John helped me put together a cohesive application package not just great individual essays. As a result, I was accepted at Kellogg in a very competitive year. He understands what it takes to gain admission to a top business school and I would recommend him to any applicant that needs a trusted advisor with proven results.

I applied for a total of 6 schools. I was invited for 4 interviews and was accepted by 3 schools. Ross, Kellogg and Wharton. I cannot imagine a better outcome from 7 intense months dedicated to the application process. I cannot imagine the same outcome if I had not worked with John. My special thanks to John N . He assumed several roles during the whole process. He was a strategist to see the best case for me; an English professor teaching me how to be assertive in writing essays, a coach cheering me up after a bad Gmat result (more than twice) and a friend suffering and celebrating together every step of the way. For all those things I can only say Thanks and Thanks again.

Before working with John, I worked with a different consultant of a different firm and it was a disaster. I was extremely skeptical about the full school package (given the cost) and assumed it was not worth it, but ultimately I decided to sign up. BEST DECISION EVER MADE. I offered to work with John since we had some traits in common. John is a rare gem: he was more of a friend than a consultant. He cheered me up, pushed me across the finishing line, always being kind and generous with his time and dedication. Response time: 11/10, I don’t know how to better describe this. Emotional intelligence: he must have a PhD in helping others My profile is good, but it is not stellar (low GMAT), but still, I made it into two top 10 schools and waitlist from the other two (5 total). I highly recommend working with John, no matter the cost.

My primary consultant was John Naum and I could not have asked for a better consultant. John not only helped me think critically about my story and develop a strong application, but he was one of my biggest supporters and pushed me to continue forward even when I was doubting my own capabilities. I always appreciated his quick response times when it came to giving feedback on deliverables and always making time to answer my questions throughout the application process. Thanks to John, I was able to not only get admitted to every school I applied to, but I also managed to secure full tuition or near full tuition scholarships to several top 10 schools. Looking at my admission results, it was clear that choosing John was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application process and it provided a huge return on investment through all the scholarships. I can’t say thank you enough to John and everyone else and would highly recommend anyone going through the MBA process to go to him if you are looking for a great partner to help you through all the stress of applications.
