Pursue Top MBA Programs With a Former Admissions Fellow's Insights!
Hi there! I'm Erin, a graduating full-time MBA candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where I've honed skills in Economics and Entrepreneurship. As an Admissions Fellow at Booth, I've interviewed candidates and provided valuable insights to prospective students at admissions events, giving me a deep understanding of what top business schools are looking for. My professional journey includes strategic roles at Vanguard and an internship with McKinsey & Company, where I gained firsthand experience in management consulting and will be returning full-time after graduation. I am a proud first generation student who has successfully coached candidates in their MBA applications through the Forte Foundation network, helping them craft compelling narratives and navigate the admissions process. While at Vanguard, I spent several years in our Education Savings practice - in addition to MBA application logistics, I am well-versed in various ways to financially plan for school and am comfortable discussing program fit (i.e., full-time versus part-time). Making MBA dreams a reality is one of my favorite ways to spend my time, and I'd love to work with you!
