Package Description:
Most applicants write essays that are technically perfect, listing achievements and discussing "impact" and "leadership". They try to guess what the admissions committee wants to hear instead of telling the truth. This won't work. My goal is not just to edit your grammar or fix your flow. It is to find the single cohesive story that ties your entire pre-MBA life together and then efficiently elevate it to make the adcom sit up and take notice. We will move past the surface-level facts of your resume and dig into the "why" behind your choices. This service is for applicants who are ready for honest feedback. It is for people who are willing to rewrite a draft three times because they know the first version was safe but boring. It is for candidates who want a partner who will push them to be specific and original rather than a coach who will just pat them on the back. My Promise I cannot guarantee you admission. No one can. But I can guarantee that you will not submit a generic application. You will submit a set of essays that no one else could have written. You will walk away with a story that is bulletproof because we tested every single part of it together.
What you'll get from this package
Iterative Edits: We will go back and forth on your essays until they are airtight. I do not count rounds of edits. We stop when the story is true and compelling.
Theme Identification: Find the thread that connects your past, present, and future.
Narrative Check: I will review your resume and short answers to ensure they align with your essays (not available for the Lite package)

1. The "So What?" Test. Every sentence in your essay must earn its keep. I will challenge every vague claim you make. You increased sales by 20%? So what? What did you learn about human behavior in the process? How did that change the way you lead teams today? If you cannot answer these questions then the accomplishment does not belong in your essay. Together, we will turn generic bullet points into concrete evidence of your potential. 3. Surgical Editing & Cliché Busting I am allergic to clichés. If you write that you want to "be a bridge between cultures" or "leverage the diverse network" I will highlight it and tell you to try again. I will not fix your sentences to make them sound like everyone else. I will break them down until they sound like you. I will show you the "before" and "after" of your paragraphs so you can see exactly how a sharper focus transforms your narrative. 4. School-Specific Alignment A great essay for Wharton is not always a good a fit for Stanford. I will help you tailor your core story to the unique DNA of each school. We will not just swap out the school names. We will adjust the tone and the examples to prove you understand their specific culture.
The services included in this package will be available until the end of the round in which you choose to apply, unless otherwise discussed. That is, if you are applying to Round 1 and choose to instead delay your application to Round 2, we need to discuss in light of my client capacity. Services cannot be deferred or otherwise extended to a subsequent admissions cycle. Please allow 2 business days for my response, although I will do my best to shorten this time. Be mindful of deadlines - my capacity will remain the same throughout our work, so if you submit content to me 2 days before the deadline, it will most likely not get back to you until the day of the submission deadline. I will, however, do my best to accommodate tight timelines. Payment is non-refundable.

During my time inside the admissions office at Chicago Booth, I learned a hard truth that drives my work today. There is a massive gap between being qualified for an MBA and actually getting admitted. Most of you are qualified for admissions to one of the top business schools in the world. You have the grades and the work experience (or internships, in the case of Deferred appicants). But for the last 17 years, my job has been to help applicants move from the 'qualified' pile to the 'accepted' pile. I do that by helping you strip away the generic business jargon, find your core story, and build a narrative that actually sticks in the memory of an admissions officer. As a member of AIGAC, I’m constantly talking to schools to understand what they are looking for this specific cycle. As MBA applicants, the bar is incredibly high because you are selling potential, not just history. My goal is to help you figure out how to prove that potential.
