Alex’s Service Academies & ROTC Qualifications

10+ people coached for Service Academies & ROTC

Alex has helped clients get into these schools:

As a 2014 graduate of West Point and a former U.S. Army officer, I know firsthand the rigor, discipline, and leadership potential that the Service Academies look for in candidates. My own journey through the admissions process—and later through the Academy, military service, and Harvard—gives me unique insight into what it takes to succeed. I help applicants translate their academic, athletic, and leadership experiences into compelling applications that resonate with admissions boards while preparing them for the challenges and opportunities of Academy life.

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.
