150+ M7/T15 Admits | Narratives That Get Interviews | Wharton Adcom Fellow
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!
