ACF Consulting Services - Introduction

Readers,

As promised, here is further information about my MBA Admissions Consulting activities. Please feel free to share this with anyone who is interested.

ACF Consulting Services - MBA Admissions Consulting (http://www.alexcfleming.com/ACFConsultingFINALwebsite.pdf)

ACF Consulting, a private, independent consultancy, serves candidates preparing for the admissions process at top US MBA programs during the 2009-2010 season. The primary consultant and owner is Alex C. Fleming MBA/MA from The Wharton School and Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

- I will provide, for a select group of clients, comprehensive strategic advising, resume revision, content and essay development, editing of application materials, counseling on application process management, mock interviews, and other specialty services.

I have several key value propositions and differentiators:

1) Highly Relevant and Recent Experience – I received my MBA in 2009, and I served for the last 3 years as a primary student contact, official blogger, mentor, and leader of admissions volunteers at Wharton. This culminated with service as a Graduate Admissions Committee Assistant for the 2008-2009 season, during which time I evaluated MBA applications and conducted admissions interviews.

2) 100% Personalized Service – I conduct 100% of the advising, interviews, editing, counseling, and communications for the firm. There is neither assignment ambiguity nor questions about the background of your counselor. What you see is what you get.

3) Competitive Pricing – My base hourly rate is 30% below that of popular MBA admissions consulting firms, while at the same time providing personalized service and the highest standards of quality.

4) Diversity of Experience and Unique Perspective – I was a non-traditional candidate for business school, and I have successfully transitioned to management consulting. I have a breadth of work experience in the military, engineering management, diplomacy, and strategy consulting. My writing-intensive MA program and unique background allows me to provide distinctive insight and value to my clients.

Graduation Day

Graduation ceremonies are something of a 'rite of passage,' especially at Penn, where your actual diploma is mailed to you in June. The Dean shakes your hand on stage and the roll of paper you are getting in the photograph, which appears very official, is actually directions on how to get to the cocktail party. Go figure.

The high point of the day was an excellent speech by Muhammad Yunus the founder of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. He gave a very motivating talk about the power of a single person acting against the establishment. I hope that all of us can have the fortitude and integrity to take his advice, which seemed particularly relevant given the world financial crisis.

I am finishing my time here in Philly, and then I am off to 'relax' for a few months before starting at Accenture in the end of the year.

In the mean time, I will be starting a small business of my own, doing MBA/MA Admissions Consulting for people applying this fall. I will provide strategic advice, mock interviewing, essay review, and other services. I will be releasing more information about details soon, but if you are interested in scheduling an initial appointment please email:

All the best,
Alex
