About Cengiz

I graduated from Harvard College, cum laude with High Honors, where I pursued both an academic track in social sciences and a business track. I got into Stanford GSB through their deferred enrollment in my senior year. I worked in banking, management consulting, venture capital before business school, interned in growth equity and now am working at a global hedge fund. Both Harvard and Stanford GSB have been some of the most incredible years of my life and I would love to assist you experience the same joy of being in these institutions where literally and figuratively "everything can happen." College applications and MBA admissions are stressful and high-stakes processes. I have been there and felt the same. It would be a pleasure to help you in your unique journey of of trying to figure out which schools are the best fit for your goals and to make sure that they are able to see and to appreciate your story and what you can bring to their campuses. I have worked with a variety of domestic and international students to help them articulate their stories better, highlight what truly matters to them and why, and be prepared for the exciting journey ahead of them. Reach out if you have any questions, I'm excited to get to know you!

Why do I coach?

Access to opportunities should not be reserved for the select few and be distributed as broadly as possible - that is why I'm particularly passionate to coach folks coming from underrepresented backgrounds to diversify the pipeline to educational and professional opportunities in elite institutions.
