For Candidates Seeking the Right Program — Not Just an Admit While many admissions consultants focus on editing essays, I focus on building the strategic architecture that makes those essays obvious. My background spans 40 years across engineering, product management, intrapreneurial corporate leadership, successful entrepreneurial ventures, and 17 years as a Principal Consultant at a leading MBA consulting firm. I have researched the top 40 MBA programs extensively and spoken with more than 10,000 candidates. This extensive breadth gives my clients something most consultants cannot offer: A broader experiential lens through which to evaluate: • Program type (Full-time, Part-time, Executive, Full-Time Executive, Online, etc.) • Near-term and long-range career opportunities • Prestige (Brand) versus long-term network leverage Together, we build an aspirational but realistic school portfolio grounded in evidence, not mythology. I have demonstrated success in a wide range of programs. I have also been successful working with candidates from every academic background, professional path, and walk of life. Dozens of former clients have told me that when other consultants rejected them because of test scores, undergraduate GPAs, or career decisions, I gave them the confidence, framework, and tools to successfully pursue programs and careers they once believed were out of reach. My Core Value Proposition My objective is twofold: 1. Help you secure a seat in the program that best maximizes your long-term career trajectory and alumni network leverage. 2. Execute the process efficiently, because time is our most precious asset. This is a disciplined, collaborative partnership. By investing heavily in strategic positioning at the outset, we almost never require endless essay iterations. Once the framework is correct, the messaging follows naturally. While I will never write your essays or your recommendation letters, I will help you think more clearly than you have before. Additional Client Notes As this is a strategic partnership, not a transactional service, clients who have had the greatest success with me: • Have at least one official test score in hand (EA, GRE, or GMAT) before starting the process. • Set aside negative self-talk • Remain open to possibilities beyond brand mythology • Respect deadlines and my time • Commit to doing their own intellectual work • Are honest with themselves about goals and trade-offs Limited Client Capacity Because of the strategic depth, time commitment, and intellectual focus required for success, I limit my practice to a maximum of eight Strategic MBA Architecture & Advisory Partnership clients per application round. This ensures: • Thoughtful, high-quality strategic engagement • Timely feedback and responsiveness • Full immersion in each client’s positioning and career architecture Weekly Project Planning & Round Scope As part of this partnership, I create a customized weekly project plan to guide progress and maintain disciplined momentum throughout the application cycle. This plan is structured around the agreed-upon schools and target round. If a candidate chooses or needs to transition to a subsequent application round: • The decision must be discussed and mutually approved • Scope adjustments will be evaluated • Additional fees may apply depending on timing and workload Strategic continuity matters. Round transitions are not automatic extensions. No Guarantee Policy Admission to top MBA programs is highly competitive and influenced by multiple factors beyond any consultant’s control, including: • Applicant pool strength in a given round • Institutional priorities and evolving business needs • Interview performance • Recommender execution • Macroeconomic and industry dynamics For these reasons, no money-back guarantee of admission is offered. What I do guarantee is disciplined strategy, rigorous thinking, honest feedback, and a fully aligned application that reflects your strongest demonstrated value.
