Package Description:
This strategy and exploration call is designed for applicants considering top MBA programs, including Harvard Business School, Wharton, Stanford GSB, and other leading U.S. and international schools. During this session, we will assess your academic background, professional experience, leadership profile, and post-MBA goals to determine: • Which schools you are currently competitive for • Whether HBS, Wharton, or Stanford are realistic targets based on your profile • What would materially strengthen your candidacy for all top programs • Whether gaps can be closed in the current cycle or a future one • The right application strategy and timeline for your situation This is a high-signal, honest conversation, not a sales pitch. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of where you stand, what matters most for your target schools, and what kind of support (if any) would be most valuable next. This call is ideal for applicants who want clarity before committing to essays, interviews, or a full application package.
What you'll get from this package

Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
My coaching approach is holistic and candid. I don’t evaluate applicants only on what’s on paper. I focus on who you are as a leader, how you think, and how admissions committees are likely to read between the lines of your application. As a Wharton MBA student, I bring an insider’s understanding of how top programs assess candidates across academics, test scores, professional trajectory, leadership, and personal narrative. I’ll give you honest feedback on: • How your academic record and test scores are likely to be interpreted • Whether any weaknesses meaningfully limit competitiveness for HBS, Wharton, or Stanford • Which parts of your profile genuinely move the needle versus what matters less • How your experiences and motivations will come across to admissions readers My goal is not to tell you what you want to hear, but to help you understand what actually counts and how to position yourself accordingly. Clients leave this session with clarity, confidence, and a realistic plan forward.
This package includes one live 45-minute strategy session and a post-call written summary delivered within 48 hours of the session. • Clients are expected to arrive prepared and on time. Sessions start and end as scheduled. • This package does not include ongoing messaging, follow-up calls, or document review beyond what is explicitly stated. • Cancellations or rescheduling must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Late cancellations may forfeit the session. • This session is intended to provide honest, strategic guidance. While outcomes cannot be guaranteed, feedback will be candid and grounded in real admissions evaluation criteria.

Wharton MBA | President, Wharton Graduate Association | 60+ Top10 MBA Admit
I coach MBA candidates using a combination of firsthand insight from top business schools and a proven record of admissions outcomes. I am a Wharton MBA and Trailblazer Fellow, and I currently serve as President of the Wharton Graduate Association, representing over 2,000 MBA students and working closely with school leadership. I was also admitted to Harvard Business School, which gives me a direct understanding of how the most selective programs evaluate candidates and differentiate between strong profiles. I’ve coached 60+ MBA applicants, helping candidates gain admission to Top 10 programs, including Wharton, Stanford GSB, Kellogg, Columbia, Haas, Booth, NYU Stern, and Duke Fuqua. Prior to business school, I worked across product, operations, and finance roles at Amazon, Capital One, TD Bank, and high-growth startups, allowing me to coach candidates from nontraditional and international backgrounds with real-world context. My approach is candid and outcome-focused: I help clients understand what truly matters in the admissions process, craft clear and authentic narratives, and approach business school intentionally as both an admissions decision and a long-term career investment.
