We’ve done it again!
Sam Weeks was ranked #8 on the Poets&Quants Global Top MBA Admissions Consultants 2026 list.
For a decade now, P&Q's has ranked admissions consultants across the world based on verified client reviews every application cycle. Last year, MBA applicants submitted 1,408 assessments of their experiences with 76 admissions consultants across 41 different firms.
With a client satisfaction score of 9.88 out of 10, Sam ranked in the Top 10 for the third consecutive year.
We’re proud of this. That score is a direct result of our unique, high-touch admissions approach: we work live in one-on-one Zoom sessions, brainstorm and edit application essays in real time, and provide unfiltered, honest feedback.
With P&Q’s ranking increasingly rewarding volume, we’ve made the deliberate decision to focus on quality not quantity, so we strictly cap our intake per consultant. Each round, we work with only a handful of carefully selected clients, so that we can build a strong relationship with them, consider every detail, and provide the best MBA admissions consulting service in the world.
Here’s what clients especially loved:
"Sam’s approach was methodical and accountability-driven throughout our partnership. Through initial strategy sessions, he helped identify what made my candidacy unique and helped me craft a cohesive narrative that transformed perceived weaknesses into differentiated strengths. Weekly meetings kept me accountable during demanding working hours, while his guidance on managing getting letters of recommendation from busy banking managing directors turned a stressful process into a strategic advantage. When interview invitations started arriving, Sam and his team provided comprehensive preparation that helped me confidently tell my story across different formats. Malvika deserves special recognition for her thorough essay review and suggestions that ensured my narrative came through clearly and professionally, as well as Nanako and Jon for their interview prep advice. The results exceeded my wildest expectations: – I received 11 interview invitations (73% yield), – Secured 9 acceptances (60% final yield) + 2 waitlists, – Generated over $850k in total scholarship offers across various programs."
“Accepted into Wharton, Columbia ($$), Kellogg, and LBS ($$). Sam was a total lifesaver and I truly believe I wouldn’t have gotten in without him. I was struggling to balance full time work with the rigour of MBA applications, and Sam took the load off my shoulders. The full service packages are totally worth it – within the first few calls i shared my entire life / career story and we worked together to weave a cohesive story together. Sam was incredibly warm, honest, and organized (we shared a 30+page document that captured every essay draft). We would chat the essays live, and Sam’s team would edit them offline. In addition to essays, Sam redid my entire resume, helped me fill out every section of the application portals, and prepped me for interviews. I appreciate the split payment structure in which you only pay the second amount if you’re offered interviews. Interview prep was exactly like the real interviews, especially for Wharton’s unique TBD format. Post acceptances, Sam and I also strategize scholarship negotiations. 10/10 recommend Sam Weeks!!!”
“Admitted to 4 MBAs w/ $214k scholarships and HKS. I worked with Sam and his team across several meetings to discuss my applications. We went into the nitty gritties over Zoom video calls and the team used their personal experiences (FMCG / IB) to give me industry insights. They helped me think through what my career plan will be as I move from India to America and gave me clarity on recruiting pipelines, career outcomes, and what school employment data actually means. Incredibly detailed and thorough. The scholarship was the cherry on top. Thanks team!”
