Package Description:
The applicants who get in don't just have better resumes. They have better stories — and they know how to tell them. This is full-cycle MBA admissions support built around you: your background, your strengths, your "why" — not a template. We start there before we touch a single essay. From that foundation, everything else follows: school strategy, candidacy development, all essays from first idea to final draft, interview preparation, and post-submit support through waitlists and decisions. Three Poets & Quants awards. Clients from PE, IB, consulting, medicine, military, entrepreneurship, and beyond. Top 10 and Top 20 admits, frequently with scholarship. Since 2006. You're not just another applicant. This isn't just another consulting firm. Hours and investment are scoped to your situation — number of schools, deadlines, and the complexity of your candidacy. Reach out and let's talk.
What you'll get from this package

3x P&Q Top Consultant | 500+ M7 Admits | Story + Leadership Coaching
I've been coaching MBA and EMBA applicants since 2006 — which means I've worked through more admissions cycles, essay prompts, and school pivots than I can count. Poets & Quants has recognized me as a Top Consultant three times. Clients have called the work "transformative" and "the best help I never knew I needed." What I actually do: I help people find their story. Not the version they think they're supposed to tell, but the one that's true and specific and stops an admissions reader cold. That's harder than it sounds, and it's where most applications fall apart. My background is unusual for this field. I'm a Columbia MBA and a Columbia English major — and a former magazine editor. I'm also an ICF-certified leadership coach. That combination means I bring genuine writing craft and genuine coaching depth to every engagement, not just admissions strategy. My clients have come from consulting, banking, medicine, the military, entrepreneurship, filmmaking, and family business. They've gone on to HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia, and programs across Europe and Asia. I work in English and Italian.
