Ankur’s MBA Qualifications

As a current Wharton admit through the Moelis Advance Access Program (Deferred Enrollment), I have firsthand experience navigating both the deferred and traditional MBA admissions processes. I successfully gained admission to and received calls from multiple top MBA programs (despite a not so great GMAT score), and understand what it takes to craft a compelling application at every stage. Having read over dozens of essays from successful and prospective applications as well as drawing from my own experience and introspection, I bring deep insights into what goes into bringing out your best in your applications. I understand how great storytelling can trump gaps in your profile if done effectively. Whether you're applying through a deferred program like Wharton Moelis, HBS 2+2 or Yale Silver Scholars, pursuing a traditional full-time MBA, I can help you develop a differentiated application strategy, refine your story pitch and essays, and prepare for interviews with confidence.

Why do I coach?

Interviews and applications are storytelling, and storytelling is what I love most. I loved the introspection and reflection that went through the preparation for interviewing - finding the narrative thread in a product, a strategy, or a person, then shaping it into something compelling. My own path to Wharton and Google APM was full of confusion. I didn't know anyone in these spaces, but I did have people who believed in me and gave me the bits and pieces that I used to navigate the applications and interviews. I want to be that person for others: learning from my own rejections and learnings I have gone through over the years, I hope to show you what actually matters, especially in a landscape this competitive. Most of the time, what you need is already there. My job is to help pull it out, build a plan around it, and work backwards from your goal until it happens.
