Austin’s MBA Qualifications

The MBA admissions process can be overwhelming—juggling GMAT/GRE preparation, crafting essays, and securing recommendation letters, all while managing a full-time job. I've been in your shoes, preparing my applications while working in Private Equity, and I want to share my insights to help you focus on what truly matters and what makes a significant difference in your application. As a current MBA student and Admissions Fellow at Chicago Booth, I have firsthand experience and a deep understanding of the admissions landscape. My professional background spans management consulting at BCG and software growth equity investing at Pacific Lake, providing me with expertise in multiple common post-MBA career paths. I can help you craft a compelling narrative that highlights your unique strengths and experiences. Together, we’ll develop a personalized strategy to maximize your chances of gaining admission to your target schools, setting you on the path to a successful and fulfilling MBA journey and career.
