Alex has helped clients get into these schools:

I’ve sat on every side of the MBA admissions journey—earning admission to HBS, receiving full scholarships from Wharton and Darden, and having my HBS essay published in "50 Successful Harvard Application Essays." As a Fulbright Scholar, former Bain consultant, and now a leader in Defense Tech, I bring first-hand experience with the paths many applicants aspire to. I’ve also successfully coached candidates who went on to receive offers from top programs including Stanford GSB, Kellogg, and HBS. This combination of personal admissions success, professional pedigree, and proven coaching results makes me uniquely equipped to guide applicants in crafting standout applications that resonate with admissions committees.

About Alex

Alex is an HBS MBA, Fulbright Scholar, West Point grad, and former Bain consultant with experience in private investment and defense tech. His own HBS admissions essay was featured in the book "50 Successful Harvard Application Essays," he earned a perfect score on the GRE Verbal Reasoning section, and he was offered full scholarships to Wharton and Darden. Alex has advised clients who have gone on to earn offers from top programs including Stanford GSB, HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, Haas, and Fuqua. He helps applicants craft compelling narratives that stand out while fitting the vision admissions committees have for their cohorts. Note to all potential MBA candidates with U.S. Armed Forces backgrounds: I coach military clients for MBA admissions exclusively through Military MBA Consulting. I highly recommend MMC as their resources for candidates with military backgrounds are second to none. I will be happy to point you to MMC and work with you there. MMC's fine-tuned program truly will get you the best outcomes.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know firsthand how transformative elite educational opportunities can be. The process is high-stakes and deeply personal, and I believe every applicant deserves guidance that brings out their authentic story while aligning with the vision admissions committees have for the class they are building. I also bring a test-prep edge: having earned a perfect score on the GRE Verbal section, I help candidates not only tell their stories but also master the skills that make them competitive across every dimension of the application. Coaching, for me, is about unlocking both clarity and confidence so applicants can present the strongest version of themselves.
