Stanford MBA | Pivot from STEM to Business | 18+ MBA Admits to HSW

I'm a current MBA student at Stanford Graduate School of Business who was accepted through the deferred/2+2 MBA program. In the past 4 years, I’ve successfully advised 18+ individuals who were admitted to Stanford GSB, Harvard Business School, and Wharton for deferred and regular round admissions and I’m passionate about helping others get into their dream business schools! Before business school, I was a management consultant at BCG and later worked in marketing strategy at Eli Lilly. I earned my degree in chemistry with highest honors from UC Berkeley's College of Chemistry, and I understand firsthand what it takes to pivot from a STEM background into consulting and business. Since I was admitted to Stanford GSB, HBS, Wharton, and MIT through their 2+2/deferred admissions programs, I feel particularly passionate about helping college seniors with this admissions process (esp. ones coming from STEM backgrounds!). However, I also have extensive recent experience advising my consulting peers through the admissions process - helping them draft their narrative and revise their essays to help them stand out from the crowd of consultants applying for business school. When we work together, I’ll partner closely with you to chart out your most compelling MBA narrative—drawing from my own journey, my experience coaching others, and insights from countless conversations with classmates about what helped them stand out in MBA admissions. I’ll help you not just polish your application, but build the confidence and clarity to tell your story in a way that resonates with admissions officers and interviewers.
