The waitlist is its own kind of limbo, and how you respond to it matters. With the right strategy, a waitlist can absolutely convert to an admit. I'll help you figure out exactly what to do, what to say, and how to say it. This package includes: - Full review of your existing application: understanding what's already working and where there may be gaps to address - 1-hour strategy call: we'll build your waitlist action plan - whether and how to send a letter of continued interest, what updates are worth sharing, and how to position yourself for the final decision - Written summary + recommendations post-call so you have a clear roadmap to execute on - Edits and feedback on any materials you submit post-waitlist like LOCI drafts, update letters, or any additional outreach to the adcom

Joined March 2026
Wharton MBA & Former Admissions Fellow | Storytelling, Resumes, and Essays
I'm a Wharton MBA graduate with an international background across the US, Europe, and MENA region - and a non-linear career path that took me from investment management into tech startups before business school. That journey wasn't tidy. But it taught me exactly how to turn a complex, unconventional story into one that resonates with top admissions committees, and it's the foundation of everything I bring to my clients. My unique qualifications include: ✔ Wharton MBA graduate with leadership roles in selective student organizations and fellowships, giving me a current, first-hand understanding of what thriving (not just getting in) at an M7 program actually looks like ✔ Spent time on the interview-evaluation side of Wharton admissions, giving me a nuanced lens into how candidates can stand out in the interview ✔ Helped students get into top M7 schools and LBS & INSEAD in Europe ✔ Specialized experience with non-linear profiles, career pivots, international applicants, and candidates who feel their story doesn't fit the traditional MBA mold ✔ End-to-end support across school selection, narrative development, essays, recommendations, interview prep, and timeline management - with a structured, personalized calendar so nothing falls through the cracks ✔ I work with a deliberately small number of clients per cycle. That's not a sales line, it's how I do my best work. Every person I take on gets my full attention, honest feedback, and genuine investment in their outcome. I'm especially helpful to: ✔ Candidates with non-linear or complex career paths who need help making sense of their story ✔ Career-pivot applicants struggling to frame their "why MBA, why now" ✔ Candidates with good experience and scores that don't jump off the page, helping them turn "good" into stellar ✔ International applicants navigating the cultural translation of their experience for U.S. and European programs ✔ Early-career applicants (2–5 years out) who need help conveying maturity and potential alongside ambition
