Alba’s MBA Qualifications

Alba has helped clients get into these schools:

As a first-generation, low-income student, I navigated the competitive world of consulting and top MBA programs without the traditional advantages—becoming the first-ever hire from a non-target university at McKinsey Spain. Along the way, I secured €20,000+ in scholarships, including a fellowship at Yale University, and earned a deferred admission to Kellogg MBA, with an HBS 2+2 interview. I specialize in helping non-traditional applicants break into elite opportunities. To date, I’ve coached 5+ candidates into MBB consulting and high-profile consumer & tech companies (Amazon, L'Oréal, P&G), as well as 5+ applicants into M7 MBA programs (both full-time and deferred offers). If you're coming from an unconventional background and aiming for top-tier consulting, industry roles, or business schools, I can help you craft a compelling story, navigate the application process, and maximize your chances of success. Looking forward to help your goals become reality!
