I help MBA and postgrad applicants break into Ivy League and Oxbridge programs with a strong narrative, essays that sound like you, and a strategy built on how these schools think. 100+ admits. $ 2 million+ in scholarship funding secured. Over the past 10+ years I've reverse-engineered what consistently works across Ivy, M7, and Oxbridge admissions and as a Cambridge and LSE admit myself, I know these selection processes from the inside. I find what makes a candidate compelling, often things they haven't articulated themselves and build it into a narrative top programs remember. My own background spans consulting, startups, government, and nonprofits, which helps me find the thread in almost any profile. Recent wins include a low-GPA admit to Harvard's MBA and an Oxford admit with 100% tuition funding. I am especially helpful if you're: - An experienced professional (consulting, banking, industry) who's done more than your application currently shows - A nontraditional candidate with cookie cutter GPAs or scores, with real strengths to surface elsewhere - An international or minority applicant who wants someone who gets your background from the inside - An undergrad whose transcript doesn't tell the whole story - Waitlisted or rejected, and want to build a compelling case for reconsideration What I do - School and programme selection strategy - End-to-end essay and personal statement development — SOP, CV, and beyond - Interview preparation - Scholarship and fellowship application support
