A focused, one-hour session for any MBA applicant — who wants an honest expert read on their candidacy before diving into the application process. What we cover: Profile Deep-Dive — We work through your candidacy across the dimensions that matter most to admissions committees: academic record, professional trajectory, career narrative, and differentiating factors. Strengths & Gaps Assessment — You'll get an honest, adcom-calibrated read on where you stand, what's working, and what isn't. Actionable Improvement Strategies — Concrete next steps to strengthen your candidacy, whether that means retesting, reframing your narrative, adjusting your timeline, or closing specific gaps. Brand & Positioning (time permitting) — We'll begin to explore how to package your background in a way that's specific, compelling, and authentically yours. This is an excellent starting point for any applicant who wants to begin their MBA process on the right path — with a clear-eyed view of where they stand and what to do next. Before we meet, you'll share: Resume and LinkedIn profile Undergraduate GPA GMAT/GRE scores (if available) I'll review everything in advance so our time together is spent on the analysis — not the intake.
An honest, assessment of your profile — a clear picture of your strengths and gaps across the dimensions that matter most to admissions committees.
A prioritized list of actionable next steps — concrete improvements you can make to your candidacy before you apply, specific to your background and timeline.
Coaching delivered via live sessions and .
My coaching is structured, honest, and built around your deadline. I come to every session having already reviewed your materials, so we spend our time making real progress — not catching up. And I'll always tell you what's working and what isn't, because that's where the value is.
Sessions. This session is held via Zoom or phone, scheduled mutually and confirmed at least 48 hours in advance. Cancellations. I require at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, or missed without notice, will be forfeited. That said, I understand that life doesn't always cooperate — if something comes up, reach out and I'll do my best to accommodate. What I need from you. Please share your resume, LinkedIn profile, GPA, and GMAT/GRE scores (if available) at least 48 hours before we meet. I review everything in advance so we can make the most of our time together — I ask that you come equally prepared. A note on outcomes. I'm fully committed to giving you an honest, thorough assessment of your candidacy. While I can't guarantee admission results — no ethical coach can — I can guarantee you'll leave with a clear-eyed view of where you stand and a concrete plan for what to do next.
