I wanted to tell everyone about my experience with Admissionado and in particular, Jon Frank.
I recently signed up for their Basic Bootcamp and I found it to be an useful experience. I'm not new to writing applications - I had already read through Paul Bodine and a few similar books, and had completed 2 application prior to attending the webinar. I can confidently say that going in, I had a good idea of what goes into a good essay. Before each of the three webinars, Jon sent out a homework assignment (resume and two essays)....And get this - even though he heads the company, he would come into the next webinar with his very incisive comments about each person's homework. No fluff, just plain good advice. He would review each person's submission first as an AdCom member willing to point out the obvious flaws and then, as an admissions consultant willing to help you fix them. We were a small group of 7 people, which I felt was ideal since it allowed for ample discussion for everyone.
Since this was the basic Bootcamp, he reviewed our career goals essay and our resume - two of the most important application components as anyone would tell you. Knowing that I have those two nailed down now, gives me the confidence to approach my personal essays that much more securely. I would recommend this both to folks who are new into the process and have no idea, and to the guys who want to get their basic story validated. Feel free to PM me for questions (I can only talk about the Bootcamp, since I'm not his client).
PS: One of the things that stood out was that in those 6 hrs he did not, even *once*, talk us into using his client packages. Not only is that ethical, it is also endearing.

You have to have darkness, for the dawn to arrive.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
