Deferred MBA and Competitive Graduate Fellowship Specialist
I am an HBS 2+2 admit with acceptances from several other top deferred programs (Wharton, Booth, Kellogg, Columbia, and Berkeley) and am also a recipient of both the Schwarzman Scholarship and Princeton in Asia Fellowship. I have extensive experience with crafting personal statements, securing letters of recommendation, preparing for behavioral interviews, and general application strategy. Although each deferred admissions application has its own idiosyncrasies, 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!
