Gauraang’s MBA Qualifications

Gauraang has helped clients get into these schools:

I was admitted to the Stanford GSB and HBS Class of 2027. I did it without using any flashy admissions consultant. I also landed interviews at Wharton (Lauder) and MIT Sloan. Here's how I can add value to you: - Helping structure the process end-to-end for you, with weekly and monthly targets. Applications are a marathon and can't be done last minute. I left no stone unturned when I applied (research, networking, introspecting, iterating) and will ensure you don't either. - Brainstorming on school selection, your goals, and finding the stories that will shine through in your essays. - Crafting compelling essays, especially for Stanford, MIT, Wharton-Lauder and HBS. - Ensuring you get great letters of recommendation that complement your application. - Wordsmithing and perfecting your activities, extracurriculars, CV, and all the other bits. - Interview practice and tips. P.S. I applied with my Partner, who was admitted to Stanford GSB and MIT Sloan (50% scholarship). We're happy to provide couples with guidance.

About Gauraang

I was admitted to Stanford GSB and Harvard Business School with scholarships. I was chief of staff at a climate-tech startup in India and a strategy consultant at Dalberg before that.

Why do I coach?

I applied for my MBA without a professional MBA coach, but it was the advice of a trusted few who had successfully navigated the same process that ultimately made the difference for me. I'm keen to give back now with direct, unstinted advice and feedback, drawing from my successful application cycle.
