Admissions Committee at Columbia Business School

Package Description:

You're close to submitting. You've put in the work. But before you hit submit, you want to know: does this actually land? This is a full adcom-style review of one completed MBA application — resume, essays, short answers, and any optional materials. I'll read everything the way an admissions committee would, then send you detailed written feedback on what's working, what's not, and what you still have time to fix. I spent years on Columbia Business School's admissions committee. I know what moves an application into the admit pile and what quietly holds one back. This review gives you that perspective before the deadline, not after. You submit your materials. I return written feedback within 48 hours. This is for applicants who are wrapping up and want an expert second opinion, not a full coaching engagement. Just a sharp, honest read from someone who has been on the inside. This is right for you if: You're in the final stretch and want an expert second opinion before you submit. You're not looking for a full coaching engagement, just a sharp, honest read from someone who has sat on the other side of the table. This is not the right fit if: You're still early in the process or your essays are in rough draft form. For full support from strategy through submission, see my Comprehensive MBA Package.

As a former M7 Admissions Director, I help you craft authentic, powerful applications that stand out and get results. Since 2017, I’ve helped hundreds of MBA-hopefuls get accepted to top MBA programs across full-time, executive, and part-time programs and I look forward to helping you do the same. 93% of my clients achieve MBA success and more than half secure scholarships averaging $180K. I served on Columbia Business School’s admission committee, where I reviewed countless applications, interviewed candidates, managed the world-wide interview program, served as a waitlist manager, and managed the dual degree programs for the Law, Medical, and Journalism schools. Thereafter, I transitioned into finance, with stints at a hedge fund, a large bank, and in venture capital. Yet, even as I built my career, I missed the part I loved most - helping candidates craft their stories. I returned to the admissions world as a coach. On the other side of the admissions journey, I saw critical gaps in the application process: limited guidance around testing, the challenge of telling narratives within the confines of a few essays and a resume is challenging, and how admissions committees can seem like a black box. My mission reflects these gaps - offer best-in-class advice, work closely with a small number of candidates, and provide personal partnership to every client.
