Walter knows the inner workings of the admission process and is committed to helping people get admitted to a school that will help them achieve their professional objectives. With his help, I turned in application that was well-prepared and ultimately got accepted into the school of my choice - with a fellowship. I highly recommend talking to Walter if you are serious about graduate school.

I did some work on Wall Street and with a couple clients from Silicon Valley for several years, but figured my application did not have much of a chance. Boy, did Walter help me turn that around!  Not only did I get in, but also I received enough scholarship money to cover between 90% and 100% of all my business school costs.

I was so nervous about my chances that I applied to 12 programs. On a friend’s recommendation, I hired ApplicationAdvantage for comprehensive help and followed Walter’s advice for nearly 10 months while I developed my applications. When I received my first Acceptance Letter from NYU Stern, I was happy enough, because at least I was in at one good school....BUT THEN the other decision letters started coming from INSEAD, Columbia, London Business School, Goizueta, Oxford, Stanford, Kellogg, IESE and finally...my Number 1 Choice....HARVARD!  ACCEPTED AT 10 SCHOOLS!!  I am still in shock.

Walter came highly recommended and his wide-ranging experience quickly earned my trust. His commitment and caring turned this trust into friendship. Walter’s thought-provoking advice, candid feedback and inspirational conversations have been invaluable as I considered the next steps to take in my career. When in need of exceptional and personalized branding advice, Walter is the first person I recommend to my network.

If you are thinking about graduate school, ApplicationAdvantage is an extremely valuable resource.  Walter is committed to your success and asks a lot of questions to get to know your background and interests.  He will evaluate your profile comprehensively and give you the honest feedback you need to decide if going to business school is the right choice for you.  If you decide it is, he will help you better position yourself as an ideal candidate for the school of your choice.

I pushed Walter for a firm estimate of my chances when we started working together and constantly questioned his advice. I am not used to being so trusting of anyone, especially with something as important as my education. Almost no one from my country has an easy time getting into top business schools, so when he told me I had a great shot, I was naturally skeptical. Now I am a believer.

I run a business in Tokyo that works with major corporations and law firms. A friend referred Walter and ApplicationAdvantage to me. Walter's revision of my corporate profile (resume and business experience) landed me two Fortune 500 clients in the last three months. He is knowledgeable, easy to work with remotely, and definitely the person I would talk to about getting into schools."

Accepted! I just got a letter from the admissions office. I have a friend who is thinking about applying to schools next year. I would like to introduce your service. Without you I don't think this would have been possible.

I did not believe I could get into a top school. Thanks to Walter believing in my candidacy and taking such great pains to help me build my professional profile, he helped me to get into an Ivy League business school. In this tough job market, I am so glad that he pushed me to apply for higher-ranked schools because I need every advantage that I can get. One of those advantages is to work with ApplicationAdvantage’s Executive Branding expertise, relying on Walter for ongoing advice as I weigh my post-business school options. Meeting Walter and working with him is a major reason why my life has changed and why my fortunes have shifted so quickly and so positively, even in this economy.

I rarely use words such as "amazing" or "incredible" to describe work after evaluating it, but this occasion warrants an exception. From the moment I began working with Walter, it became immediately clear that the high level of project execution and support they provide is far different from the norm. And that generous comment comes from someone who is accustomed to holding people accountable to the highest standards in terms of what they do as well as the things they don't do.

I worked with Walter, who came highly recommended, and as I discovered, with good reason. The quality of input, attention to detail and all-around professionalism took me a little by surprise. Daily updates and detailed explanations kept me informed about progress - gratifying, because time was of the essence. I also appreciated the fact that he seemed genuinely interested in ensuring that I attained the goal for which I needed the new resume.

I was very impressed with the outcome of this project and was even more glad that I decided to follow through on my contact's recommendation. Considering the extent to which this company outdid my expectations, I am not surprised that high-level people from various industries both domestic and international turn to Walter. 

This firm was recommended to me by one of my colleagues who had used the services of Walter Hutchinson. As CEO of a large company, I have very little time to waste. Working with Walter was worth every minute, because I was able to hand off to him issues that I barely pay attention to. His intensity surprised me, but not nearly as much as the surprise I received when I saw the final product. Since I started my own company a little more than a decade ago, I have never had to prepare a resume of any kind. I was also short on time and did not have the flexibility to take weeks pondering all of my accomplishments and career milestones. Walter adapted to my schedule and style of working, in order to guide me through a process which he designed just for me. He is not the least-expensive advisor out there, but he was well-worth the investment.

After reading your revision of my resume, I am going to apply to more competitive schools. This resume makes my qualifications look more attractive, just like you said. I am very grateful that I found your service on the internet.

I received my revised resume. Thank you very much, I was rather overwhelmed by seeing this change!  I truly appreciate your great effort and quick responses and, particularly meticulous care. And also, thank you for your comment on my essay. I will change the one word you pointed out in previous email.

I first worked with Walter Hutchinson through his university admissions website ApplicationAdvantage.com when he got me admitted into Harvard. I came back to him for professional help through his Executive Branders site, because he is the first person I could think of when I needed help to market myself while I was still at Harvard.  I send friends and colleagues to Walter partly for selfish reasons because I want him to continue building the advisory so that his advice will be available to me in the future when I need him again!

Walter Hutchinson is a professional in the truest sense of the word. He cares about the work he does. He goes the extra mile for you. I can count a number of instances when he could have billed me for extra service. Instead, he gave me extra value. I would not have asked him for more help in the months that followed, had he not been so impressive the first time I worked with him. Walter's is one of the few names I mention to colleagues or contacts, when they ask me about advising services.
