Who Admissionado works with
Admissionado works with students and parents applying to college, MBA, law and medical programs. The firm takes candidates who need real strategic work, including those with lower stats, unconventional backgrounds or complicated stories. It suits applicants who want direct feedback and to be challenged.
How Admissionado works
Each client gets a lead consultant for strategy and a dedicated essay specialist for writing. The process starts with a deep-dive discovery, then strategy and structure, then benchmarking against the competition. Next come essay and application refinement, then final submission and interview readiness. A typical engagement covers strategy and planning, benchmarking, essay pre-flight, essays, recommendations and resumes, and interview prep. Feedback is direct, and the diagnosis comes before any essay work.
Background and qualifications
Two Brown University classmates founded Admissionado in 2007. It began as a two-person operation and now has a team of 60+ consultants. The firm has reviewed over 40,000 applications and has worked in college, MBA, law and medical school admissions for over fifteen years. Only 5 to 6% of consultant applicants are hired. Hiring is based on a blind test of the ability to diagnose and coach, not on alma mater or past admissions committee work.
