About Aric
I’m a former Assistant Director at Harvard Business School, where I had the privilege of advising and coaching hundreds of students through academic programs at HBS. Having led admissions committees for several Harvard Business School programs, I know firsthand what top schools are looking for—and how to help applicants present their strongest, most authentic story. I take a personalized approach to coaching, guiding clients step by step through the school selection process, test planning, essay writing, recommendations, and interviews. My goal is to empower you to apply with confidence and unlock opportunities at the world’s most competitive MBA programs.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know how life-changing the right graduate program can be. During my time at Harvard, I saw so many talented candidates struggle to express their stories fully, and I realized how much of a difference the right guidance can make. Helping people find their voice, build confidence, and open doors to opportunities they’ve worked so hard for is what drives me every day.
