"No Sam, No LBS for me!

…I have never thought about big things like "what I want to achieve in my life", but after Sam's counseling, I’ve considered how I feel about my life and my path forward. I feel that I have grown as a person and gotten a clearer understanding of how I want to live.

…I got an offer from LBS despite a low GMAT (640), and also got an offer with scholarship from HEC, undoubtedly thanks to Sam. If you have any problems through the applications process or are interested in LBS I will be happy to help you too, as I was helped by the MBA community in my own journey. You can contact me through Sam."

"I chose Sam after talking to almost every counselor known in Japan. ... Because of the Unlimited Time system, I was able to discuss everything with Sam until I was totally satisfied with all my documents including my “Why MBA?” core story, essays, and video essays. In every session he tries to understand you deeply, which provides impactful advice that only someone who truly knows your stories can do. The Unlimited Time was really beneficial, as some schools required additional essays after getting an interview invitation (MIT, Booth). I think the reason I received interview invitations from all the applicant schools was that I was able to clearly show my core story and my values through Sam’s advice."

"I wrote essays with Sam’s guidance, prepared for interviews, and got an offer from Columbia Business School, my first choice. The test scores and GPA were not high, but with the support of Sam, I was able to complete high-quality essays with an admission perspective in a short period of time and apply in the Early Round, which led to my passing.

I feel that Sam has the following three good points in proceeding with the work.

1. Accurate advice for creating high-impact essays.

2. Quick response time

3. He does not screen students by scores"

"I was originally working with another counselor, but when I started to worry about my essays' effectiveness, I asked Sam for a second opinion. In his consultation, I immediately saw how to make big improvements to my core story. Even though it was mid-December, just a few weeks before R2 deadlines, I took the plunge and switched counselors.

This was a fantastic decision! My essay strategy became clear and his quick responses, when I couldn’t organize my thoughts well, were so helpful. Sam's devoted support and brainstorming ideas really stood out. I was able to finish the applications in time with a high quality."

"…and above all, I was able to rely on Sam in an emergency. Since I took the GMAT test just before the 1st round application, I only had lead time of about 5 days including the weekend in preparing the essay and application documents, and when I realized that the draft I had previously made needed to be fundamentally changed I almost gave up my application.

However, I was able to get dedicated support from Sam, made quick decisions on the direction of the core story, divide our tasks, and finish it in almost a day and a half from scratch!"
