Expert in deferred and traditional MBA application processes
Hi, I'm Eric! I bring a valuable perspective to MBA applicants because I’ve personally navigated the most selective MBA programs in the world. I was admitted to deferred-enrollment MBA programs at Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, Darden, and Columbia Business School. Additionally, I received interview invites from Wharton and Kellogg before ultimately withdrawing my application after being accepted to my dream school, Stanford GSB. I am the first student in my undergraduate institution’s history to be admitted into Stanford GSB's deferred enrollment program – giving me firsthand insight into how to craft a standout application from a non-traditional pipeline school. Beyond my own results, I've learned extensively from the application experiences of classmates and alumni, giving me a broad understanding of what truly moves the needle in top-tier applications. Clients can expect a committed, friendly, and highly personal coaching experience. I enjoy helping applicants find their voice, tell their story, and ultimately achieve their desired MBA outcomes!
