I’m Becky Song, an MBA admissions strategist with 15+ years of experience and a Wharton MBA, specializing in helping candidates earn admits to M7 and T15 programs. As Executive Director of Ivy Journey LLC (https://www.theivyjourney.com/), I’ve coached 150+ MBA applicants to successful outcomes at schools including HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, and Booth. I work with a broad range of profiles — from traditional candidates in consulting, finance, tech, and product roles to non-traditional applicants pursuing career pivots, entrepreneurship, or leadership paths in family-owned businesses. I also have deep experience supporting international candidates, including first-generation applicants and those navigating U.S. MBA admissions from Asia, Europe and other global markets. My core strength is narrative positioning — I believe every candidate has a unique and compelling story to tell, and my role is to help you translate complex professional and personal experiences into clear, adcom-ready stories that convert into interviews. As a former admissions fellow, I also bring insider judgment on what admissions committees actually prioritize, from leadership signal and career logic to differentiation and credibility. I am excited to learn more about you and look forward to supporting you every step of the way. Reach out today to jump start your MBA journey!

For college admissions, my students have earned spots at many of the top institutions in the US, such as Harvard, Columbia, MIT, Stanford, UPenn, UC Berkeley, JHU, Duke, Vanderbilt, CMU, NYU, etc. For MBA admissions, my clients have earned spots at many of the top programs in the US, such as HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Booth and other T15 and T20 schools. I believe every candidate has a unique and compelling story to tell, and I am dedicated to helping them craft an engaging narrative and build a personal brand that resonates with admissions committees and differentiates them from other applicants. As a recruiting coach and career consultant, I have coached 100+ candidates, helping them boost their chances of successfully secure management consulting and strategy related roles at their dream companies in a competitive job market.

I have a diverse background in various industries, including consulting, government, healthcare and education. As an experienced management consultant and manager who has led many teams at various top consulting firms, I have served a wide range of federal government and Fortune 500 clients in the healthcare, retail, CPG, and technology industries.

I’m all about creating a supportive and encouraging space where my clients feel understood and empowered. It’s not just about strategy—it’s about helping people realize what’s possible for them and guiding them toward that success!
