Testimonials

Hi Antonio, just wanted to let you know that I got accepted to Bentley University! That’s where I’m choosing to go next year, I already payed the deposit and all! Thank you so much for your help with EVERYTHING.

~ Female from Middle East with 1580 SAT score (out of 2400), Bentley Class of 2017

During an intense and condensed schedule, Antonio was incredible and delivered superior results. Working insane hours around my schedule (often past 2:00 AM) Antonio delivered and thanks to his efforts, I completed to solid applications to Wharton and Columbia for the EMBA program. Without his diligence and effort, I don’t think I would have gained admission. I am now attending the Columbia EMBA program and am grateful for his terrific assistance.

If you are considering an MBA, hire Antonio – he will be an incredible guide when navigating this complex process. I recommend putting your ego aside, and using his process

I wanted to thank you very much for all your help with my college applications and essays. All the hard work payed off, I just heard yesterday that I got into my top choice, Babson College. I also got into all the universities that I heard from so far, Syracuse University, Loyola Marymount University, and University of San Francisco.

~ Female from Middle East, Babson College Class of 2016

Faced with an impending deadline for application to an Ivy League EMBA program, I was frustrated by struggling to craft an appealing narrative which highlighted my distinctive leadership experience as a member of the military. I was advised by a friend to contact Antonio for the help that was clearly needed. Totally undaunted by the task, Antonio proceeded to review my essay and then return a version that was precisely what I sought … all in the space of 24 hours. His straightforward advice proved to be indispensible, and the ensuing interviews – initially fraught with anxiety – were actually enjoyable! He was a critical component to my successful admission.

~ US Army Officer, Columbia EMBA Class of 2012

Antonio provided super timely expert advise and feedback to me during the intense period of applying for graduate school. He is a no-BS advisor, and gave me sometimes harsh and pointed feedback on my applications to the world’s top business schools. And it was worth it when I was accepted at my top pick – MIT Sloan. I know this would have been much more difficult without Antonio helping me shape my thoughts and experience into the best shape they could be.

If you have dreams of going to a top business school, I am confident that Antonio will be a very valuable asset in your corner.

~ US Army Officer, MIT-Sloan MBA / Harvard MPA Class of 2011

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!  I WAS JUST TOLD THAT I WAS ACCEPTED! I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A LIFE CHANGER FOR ME — THANK YOU ANTONIO FOR GETTING ME THERE — I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

~ Female from USA, Competitive Private Fellowship 2011

I just wanted to say to you that I am eternally grateful, in the true sense of the word, for everything you have done to try and help me find success. … It’s amazing how much we put together in one and a half days. I was going over my application again this morning. I wouldn’t say I was disappointed, because I really have had no expectations since we said we were going to make this happen on Sunday morning, but I agree that my application could have been better, my story could been more interesting. Yet at the same time, I am glad I did it. I really have nothing to lose, putting in an application at this point (7.59 p.m. EST in R3!) and regardless of the outcome, I have realized that its important to take chances.

~ Female from India with a 630 GMAT, Stanford Graduate School of Business Class of 2011

I stand as one name on the long list of people who greatly benefited from Antonio’s vast understanding of premier MBA programs’ admissions processes. Antonio was brutally critical of how my candidacy packet was presented, making sure that I was putting my absolute best effort forward in my application. He made sure every word of my essays were value-added, gave me tremendous insight of the interviewing process, and helped me to understand what my true strengths were and how to present them to the admissions board. While his critiques resulted in numerous scrapped essay topics, and countless drafts of others, I am certain that, without his assistance, I would have never reached the interview stage, much less be accepted at what is now my alma mater. He will not write the essays, but he’ll quickly and accurately assess what your experiences are and give you tremendous insight on how those experiences can reflect one’s value to certain programs and help you to effectively communicate it. The value of Antonio’s assistance is clearly evident in the admissions rate to top MBA programs of the people he has helped.

~ US Army Officer with a 2.8 GPA, Harvard Business School Class of 2010

I applied to Harvard Business School twice.  The first time I applied I took some of Antonio’s advice, but discarded other bits of advice.  During the process Antonio warned me that the application is more than just a sum of the parts, and that I was making a mistake by not buying into his process 100%. I didn’t get in that year. Two years later I applied again, but this time I decided to buy into Antonio’s process. Antonio was magnificent.  Antonio worked tirelessly , providing numerous edits of each essay which resulted in me telling my personal story in a moving way that made my application more than just a collection of stories. He helped me to make sure that my resume and recommendations fit in to an overall theme for my HBS application. Antonio is brutally honest and demanding, he has amazing insights, and he delivers.  Best consultant in the world!

~ Female from New York, Harvard Business School Class of 2010

Antonio is a superb business school consultant and is the reason I was accepted to 2 top tier schools. While in the military together, Antonio showed the vaule of an MBA and how to properly position my skill set. He tirelessly reviewed essays, resumes, and other parts of my applicantions and provide specific guidance, thoughts, and recommendations on all aspects. Antonio is a good friend of mine and without his direct guidance I would not have gained admission. I have no doubt that he is the reason I got accepted to HBS and Wharton. I cannot say enough about his clear grasp of candidate positioning and his thoughtful, yet very consice feedback. Overall, Antonio is a phenomenal admissions consultant!

~ US Army Officer, Harvard Business School Class of 2009

Antonio was one of the biggest factors in helping me get into my dream MBA program. Specifically, he helped me with the three essays I had to write for my application. But if I just say “help” then I’m understating his impact, because I firmly believe that I would not have gotten accepted without his editing. I lost count of how many drafts I went through, but Antonio patiently worked with me over several weeks to bring out my best work. If you want the best advice and are willing to take constructive criticism, Antonio will be an invaluable resource for getting into YOUR dream program.

~ US Army Officer, Fuqua (Duke) MBA Class of 2007

Everyone told me that with a 2.7 GPA from West Point that I had little chance of getting into a top 10 school, much less Harvard or Stanford.  Well, we proved them wrong!
