As an MBA coach, I bring a deep understanding of the MBA admissions process, backed by recent personal success in securing acceptances to multiple M7 programs. My mission is to empower aspiring candidates with tailored strategies and expert guidance through every step of the application journey. With a systematic approach for each step of the application process, here are the areas I intend to offer help in: -Workshopping Your Goals: We’ll explore your professional aspirations and craft a clear roadmap that aligns your desired MBA experience with your short (summer internship, 2-3 full-time years after school) and long-term career plans. This will not only clarify what programs may be a good fit for you, but it will also help you strategize your essays, since career goals are directly or indirectly asked in every application. -Application and School Strategy: Together, we’ll develop a compelling narrative for your candidacy, address potential weaknesses, and create a step-by-step plan for success. From this, we can determine what schools may make sense for you to prioritize (both within the current application cycle and considering leveraging future cycles). As I've recently applied myself, I have very thorough notes about each school in the M7 gained from attending info sessions, campus tours, and networking sessions with both current students and alumni. -Recommender Strategy and Briefing Packet: I can help you strategize the right recommenders from current or past jobs and help you create a briefing packet so they can craft impactful letters that strengthen your application. Here, we will flesh out stories that demonstrate what differentiates you as a candidate and can be thoughtful about diversifying the qualities indicated between both recommenders. -Resume Review: I’ll help you transform your resume into a standout document that quickly grabs attention and then paints a holistic picture of who you are up to date both in and outside the workplace. As the qualities and job descriptions that a business school admissions committee looks for differ from what an employer looks for, I can help you bridge those differences. -Essay Editing: From brainstorming ideas to refining drafts and shortening word count, I’ll ensure your essays are unique, persuasive, efficient. and true to your story. While there will be content you can re-leverage between programs, I believe it’s essential to tailor your specific story to each school’s offerings and subtly blend in a demonstrated interest in their program. -Application Intake Forms: I will provide the same detail-oriented approach with helping you craft all the sections on your application. Furthermore, I will provide a final review of each one of your applications to ensure every detail reinforces your narrative and reflects your best self. Many applicants often overlook this step and under-utilize all the real estate afforded on the forms (e.g, extra circulars, employer and job descriptions, personal descriptions). -Mock Interview Coaching: With tailored preparation, mock interviews, and real-time feedback, I’ll help you master your interviews with confidence and poise. I will even pressure test you with curveball questions to help you think on your feet and blend in your research into your answers. Lastly, I will give you helpful tips for how you can tailor your talking points to each school’s specific offerings. Whether you're at the starting line or polishing final touches, I provide expert support to every step of the application process to make your MBA dreams a reality.
