Description

You got the HBS interview invitation, and now you have a short, fast-paced conversation with someone who has read your whole application. As your MBA admissions consultant, I'll help you walk in ready: sharp on your story, quick on your feet, and clear on why HBS. In three focused hours we'll tighten your core answers, run one timed mock interview that feels like the real thing, and outline the written reflection HBS asks for after your interview. Common coaching activities in this package include, but are not limited to: • Re-reading your application the way an HBS interviewer will, and listing the choices, gaps and decisions they're most likely to probe • Drafting and tightening your core answers: your story, why an MBA now, and why HBS • Practicing behavioral and "walk me through that decision" questions so you explain your reasoning, not just your results • Training for the pace: shorter answers, quick pivots, and calm responses to rapid follow-ups • Running a timed, recorded mock interview in the HBS format • Reviewing the recording with you, then re-drilling the two or three answers that need the most work • Preparing for unexpected questions without sounding rehearsed • Preparing the questions you'll ask your interviewer • Outlining your post-interview reflection so you can write it well inside the deadline How we'll work together: 1. Session 1 (60 minutes): we review your application, build your list of likely probe points, and work through your core answers. You revise them. 2. Session 2 (60 minutes): a timed, recorded mock interview, followed by a short debrief while it's fresh. 3. Session 3 (60 minutes): we review the recording, re-drill your weakest answers, finalize your questions for the interviewer, and outline your reflection. 4. After each session: I send a short written summary of what to keep and what to fix. I take a limited number of HBS interview clients each round so every session gets my full attention. Send me your application before our first session.

HBS MBA with Distinction | Ex-Google & BCG | Essays, Strategy & Interviews

I graduated from Harvard Business School in 2026 with Distinction (First- and Second-Year Honors, top 15-20% of the class), served as CFO of the HBS Latino Student Organization, and was a Finance and Accounting tutor for first-year students. Before HBS, I graduated Magna Cum Laude in Economics from UChicago, spent four years as an Operations Program Manager at Google, and did my MBA summer at BCG. Today I lead enterprise deployments at Pelico, an AI startup. I've mentored Hispanic Scholarship Fund scholars since 2019 and now sit on its Advisory Council. I know what adcoms look for in leadership stories, and how to help applicants from operations, tech and non-traditional backgrounds stand out. I went the deferred MBA route myself, so I also work with college seniors and early-career applicants on deferred programs like HBS 2+2. I help with school selection, your core narrative, essays, resume, recommender prep, and mock interviews for HBS and other M7/T15 programs.
