Package Description:
This offering is for hands-on help with all aspects of MBA applications for candidates who want to present themselves as the total package to AdComs. (Do NOT underestimate all of the unglamorous parts - it's not all about the essays!) We'll start with an extensive questionnaire and a roughly 2 hour kickoff meeting so I can get an in-depth understanding of your personal and professional history in order to identify key stories, strengths, and weaknesses. Following the kickoff, I'll also create a roadmap for our work together. We'll then tackle recommender strategy and prep packs, resume revamp, essay development and revisions (I'll review up to 4 drafts of each essay), data forms (the actual application forms), and a mock interview (1 per package purchased, regardless of how many schools it is for). Guidance and prep on any video segment/interview and waitlist strategy are also included, if applicable. I will also be available to advise on the multitude of questions and issues that inevitably pop over the course of the process. I will not stop until I feel that you have the strongest possible materials to submit, there by giving you the best chance to achieve your goals!
What you'll get from this package
Personalized application strategy document
Perfectly polished resume, essays, and data forms
The confidence to ace your interviews
Tailored recommender prep packets
An experienced, empathetic, and enthusiastic partner to ask the hard questions, provide advice, and cheer you on and support you throughout the process
Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions and .
Our engagement will start with you completing a comprehensive questionnaire that will serve as the basis for a 2 hour kickoff call where i get to know your personal and professional experiences and MBA/career goals. From then on, I tailor the process according to the candidate's preferences - typically something like weekly or ad hoc calls or video chats to discuss issues and lots of asynchronous work on written documents. I am also available via text within reason. The mock interview is obviously done live and I give feedback immediately after. I view coaching engagements as a partnership rather than a transaction, and I love getting to know the people I work with on a deep and meaningful level. Not only does this put us in the best place to achieve our desired results, but it makes for enjoyable and potentially fruitful long-term relationships on both ends.
Typical response time is 48 hours.

Haas Admissions VP I Top 50 Leland Coach I Author and Expert Storyteller
MBA ADMISSIONS EXPERIENCE - Leland Top 50 Coach in 2024 (all categories) and Leland Top 15 Coach in 2021 (MBA) - Began coaching professionally in 2017 with Stacy Blackman Consulting, where I was trained and mentored by former M7 AdCom members - Have coached 100+ clients who have been admitted to Wharton, Kellogg, Sloan, Columbia, Stanford, Haas, Ross, Tuck, Fuqua, Stern, LBS, Oxford, and many more; clients have received >$1M in scholarships - First-hand experience as the student VP of Admissions at Haas (2014-2015) and also served as VP of New Student Orientation (2013-2014) - Extensive experience helping clients with low GPAs, below median test scores, unemployment, etc. (and can personally empathize with some of these challenges) - Specialized knowledge of top part-time programs, including Haas, Booth, and Kellogg COACHING COMPETENCE - Decades of experience giving others feedback on their writing and speaking in corporate, editorial, and admissions coaching settings - Find personal fulfillment in mentoring: mentored financially disadvantaged youth in San Francisco on college applications and currently mentor small groups of college women in Utah on career development, higher education, and leadership - Brutally honest with my clients about their chances rather than saying "of course I can get you into XYZ school" (but will never discourage someone from applying to a reach program if I think there’s a chance!) - Known for collegial, astute, and supportive coaching style, as exemplified by one former client stating: “Emily is so much more than an MBA Admissions Consultant. She's a mentor, friend, and on many occasions...a therapist.” MARKETING & WRITING EXPERTISE - Held a variety of product marketing, product management, and investor relations roles over my 19 year corporate career, which honed my positioning and messaging skills (if I can make a boring old mutual fund compelling, think of what I can do for you!) - More creative writing pursuits include penning a #1 Amazon Bestselling book for first time moms in 2020 and serving as a sports writer for The Daily Princetonian in college
