Roy’s MBA Qualifications
10+ people coached for MBA
Roy has helped clients get into these schools:
- 5 for 5 on MBA applications (Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, Haas and Yale) - Full-ride scholarship from Wharton and Kellogg. - MBA Admissions panelists for prospective applicants. - Coaches 10+ applicants with success to top programs such as Stanford, Harvard, Wharton and successful conversions from waitlist to admissions. - Prior to applying to Stanford, I was told that I am a top 20 MBA candidate by all consultants. Not a top 5 profile. Immigrant. No brand name. Almost 30. I was frustrated and angry at myself. Because I wanted to do better. After a two months search, I found one consultant who believed in me and helped me apply to all of my dream programs. His belief in me, changed everything. I was accepted to all five programs, including Stanford, got a full-ride scholarship from two programs (Wharton and Kellogg), and was later invited to speak as a panelist at numerous MBA application round tables to encourage prospective applicants to pursue their dreams. Having that one coach in your corner. Can change everything. If you've heard discouraging words before. Too old. No brand name. Immigrant. Underdog with low change of success. Do not let them deter you. Let's take a fresh look at your journey to your dream school.
