Professionalism, knowledge, guidance, availability and positivity.
These are the words that describe Eli and the process I have gone through with him, in getting admittance to MIT Sloan and Kellogg. My two dream schools.
If there is one thing you should not skip is having an intro call with Eli. He gave me so many things to think about that no one else even thought of during my calls before. He knows EVERYTHING there is to know in the MBA domain and was able to guide me into building the best, most crafted strategy for the schools. I had strengths in me I wasn’t even aware of until Eli pointed them out. Every story we thought about turned out to be amazing on paper and I felt it was 100% who I am. I was happy with every single document I submitted and this was my number one priority.
Many before me (if not everyone) talked about Eli’s availability. In speaking with friends who went through the process with other advisers, I understood how lucky I was and how Eli invests himself in the process. I rarely waited for more than a day to get back any document I sent with fully detailed comments for me to work on. Eli gave me his personal number and I called him often with no need to schedule in advance. Sometimes we spoke for two minutes and sometimes for half an hour. I never once had doubts about meeting deadlines.
What also helped me a lot is Eli’s confidence and positivity. This process is not an easy one and yes – Eli demands a lot. He expected a high level of commitment from me and was more than willing to invest in the same. That’s why his positivity throughout the process helped me go through and maybe even enjoy it at times.
I cannot see how I would have done it without Eli and cannot recommend him enough!
