Competitive Graduate Fellowship and Deferred MBA Specialist
Since completing my bachelor's degree in 2022, I have received both the Schwarzman Scholarship and Princeton in Asia Fellowship, and have also been admitted to Harvard Business School via the 2+2 deferred admissions program (in addition to admission into the deferred programs at UChicago Booth, Columbia Business School, Northwestern Kellogg, and more). I have extensive experience with crafting personal statements, securing letters of recommendation, preparing for behavioral interviews, and general application strategy. Although there are many kinds of graduate programs you might be interested in applying for, they all require you to tell your unique story through a combination of essays, recommendations, and other aspects of the application — I can help you present your best, most polished self for your strongest chance at success!
