Description
The Wharton Team-Based Discussion is one of the most unique MBA interview formats. It is not a traditional one-on-one interview, and strong candidates can underperform if they do not understand what the exercise is really testing. As a Wharton MBA and former Wharton admissions fellow, I will help you understand the dynamics of the TBD, refine your opening pitch, practice contribution strategies, and prepare for the individual interview component. Together, we will help ensure that you show up as someone Wharton would want in a learning team: thoughtful, composed, collaborative, and valuable.

Pitch strategy and feedback on your opening idea

300+ M7 Admits | Wharton Ad. Fellow | Career Strategy Expert | US & Intl.
I’m a Wharton MBA, former Wharton Admissions Fellow, and Founder of The Ivy Journey (theivyjourney.com/mba), where I’ve spent 15+ years helping ambitious applicants earn admission to top MBA programs. My clients have earned admits to HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Booth, Haas, Yale SOM, LBS, INSEAD, and other top US, UK & EU programs. I’m especially strong at helping applicants turn complex, nonlinear, or highly competitive backgrounds into clear, differentiated MBA stories. I’ve worked with candidates from consulting, banking/finance, tech, product, healthcare, entrepreneurship, family business, nonprofit, government, and international backgrounds, including many applicants navigating U.S. MBA admissions from Asian, European, and other global markets. My edge is the combination of admissions judgment and career strategy. As a former Wharton admissions fellow, I understand how admissions readers evaluate leadership, career logic, school fit, recommendations, interviews, and personal differentiation. As a career coach and former consultant/hiring manager, I also help clients build MBA narratives that make sense beyond admission: why this degree, why now, why this school, and why your goals are credible. I work best with applicants who want thoughtful, strategic, high-touch coaching. I’ll help you pressure-test your school list, sharpen your positioning, build a compelling resume, craft authentic essays that tell your unique story, prepare recommenders, and walk into interviews with clarity and confidence.
