Description

If you’re applying in Round 2 and the deadline is closing in, you don’t need a slow, ideal-world process. You need a clear plan and someone to keep you moving. As your MBA admissions consultant, I’ll help you decide what to cut, what to keep, and what to finish first, so you submit an application you’re proud of by your Round 2 deadline. Common coaching activities in this package include, but are not limited to: - Taking stock of where you are on day one: what’s drafted, what’s missing, and what’s at risk of missing the deadline - Narrowing your school list to the programs you can apply to well in the time left - Working backward from each Round 2 deadline to build a day-by-day sprint plan - Finding the essay themes and stories that work across several schools, so you aren’t starting from zero each time - Brainstorming, outlining and editing each essay, with line-level feedback on every draft - Rewriting your resume so each bullet shows scope, action and result - Checking in with your recommenders, and giving them a short brief so their letters support your story - Reviewing your test status and deciding whether to submit now or retake - Reviewing the full application before you submit so the resume, essays and recommendations tell one consistent story - Preparing short answers for the interview invitation, so you aren’t starting from scratch if one arrives How we’ll work together: 1. Triage session: we review everything you have, agree on your school list, and set the sprint plan. 2. Fast first drafts: you send a draft of each piece, and I return line-level comments so you can keep moving. 3. Revise together: we tighten the story, the essays and the resume until they’re ready to submit. 4. Final review: I read the whole application once more before you hit submit. 5. After you submit: we map out your interview prep and what to do if you’re waitlisted. Send me your current resume, your list of schools, and your Round 2 deadlines 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.
