Aditya Mahadevan

I’m a Chicago Booth MBA and former McKinsey Engagement Manager who has coached 50+ candidates on MBA admissions strategy, profile positioning, resumes, essays, and interviews. My coaching focuses on the part of the application that matters most: helping you build a clear, differentiated story around who you are, what you have accomplished, why you need an MBA, and why a particular program makes sense for your goals. I have worked with candidates from consulting, engineering, technology, and other professional backgrounds, including applicants targeting Booth and other M7 programs. I can help you with: - Profile assessment and school selection - Overall application strategy and positioning - Career goals and “Why MBA / Why now?” narrative - Resume review and positioning - Essay strategy, structure, and feedback - Booth and M7 interview preparation - Evaluating multiple offers and choosing the right program My approach is practical and candid. I will help you identify what is genuinely differentiated about your profile, flag weaknesses early, and make sure the different pieces of your application tell one coherent story. I focus less on polishing individual sentences and more on helping you make the strategic decisions that determine whether the overall application is compelling. Whether you are just starting to think about business school or preparing for an upcoming interview, I can help you understand where you stand and develop a focused plan to strengthen your candidacy.
