Ren’s MBA Qualifications

Ren has helped clients get into these schools:

I am a dual HBS & GSB deferred admit. I have informally helped 30+ applicants with their essays, application strategy, and interview prep since my own deferral process, and was so excited to hear when they secured acceptances from the top schools using my feedback and advice! Through countless networking conversations with current MBA students, tips from consultants, and thorough research, I created my own robust timeline and strategy for the MBA process, and what makes an application shine. I am happy to share these tools with you so we can achieve your MBA goals! For the potential client's benefit, I will prioritize coaching deferred MBA applicants who are interested in the GSB, HBS, Wharton or Columbia.

About Ren

Hi, my name is Ren, and I am a current HBS 2+2 deferred admit executing on global streaming & partnerships strategy at Peacock, NBCUniversal's streaming service. The media & entertainment space has been my home for the past few years, with me working in companies including Paramount, BBC Studios, Amazon and Disney. I also have roots within the activist space, and founded a national non-profit for BIPOC queer & trans communities during my abroad semester in Germany, and am currently serving as an Emerging Leader Council member for the Ali Forney Center in NYC. With my passion for authentic representation and inclusion, I am dedicated to helping aspiring MBA candidates, particularly ones coming from untraditional backgrounds, navigate the admissions process and achieve their goals. As a dual admit for the deferred HBS and GSB programs, as well as Wharton and Columbia, I have learned what works when pitching yourself to admissions committees. Let's work together to create a compelling application that showcases your unique story and sets you apart from the competition. Reach out to me today to get started!

Why do I coach?

Coming from a more untraditional background, I was initially insecure about my potential to get into the top deferred MBA programs. I struggled with finding any profiles of current students/alums that mirrored mine. I am grateful to have been accepted to my top schools, and would like to pay it forward to other applicants who may also have less traditional backgrounds and experiences.
