Helping Adam Secure Admission to Top Business Schools
Adam, a marketing professional approached EchoStream principals with the goal of gaining admission to top business schools to advance his career and broaden his industry impact. Through personalized coaching, we developed a strategy to showcase him as a visionary leader and an engaged community member.
To demonstrate subject matter expertise, we advised and guided him to write insightful articles on timely, pressing developments in his industry. These articles, published in reputable outlets, enhanced his credibility and also aligned with his post-MBA career goals. Recognizing the importance of building authentic connections with the schools he was targeting, we guided him making the bold move of connecting with thought-leading professors at his target schools for interviews to add expert opinions for the articles he was researching.
These interactions gave Adam valuable insights into the schools’ quality of faculty and their unique offerings. It also positioned him as a proactive, well-prepared candidate. During admissions interviews, he was able to articulate a compelling case for why he was drawn to each school, backed by his meaningful engagement with faculty.
We provided granular guidance on developing his individual narrative so he would showcase his capabilities and competencies most impactfully. We helped him restructure his application essays to emphasize his "big picture" thinking and his dedication to contributing both to his professional field and the broader community.
Ultimately, Adam’s efforts paid off. He was admitted to a Top 3 business school as well as other highly competitive programs. Adam is well-prepared to leverage his MBA for future success.
Congratulations, Adam! You did it!
