About Sabrina
Hi! I’m a triple admit to GSB, HBS, and Wharton and I’ve achieved a 705 GMAT FE score (87 in Verbal, 84 in Quant and DI), a 1560 SAT score, a 35 ACT score. Furthermore, I have 6+ years of experience working with students to improve their standardized test scores and gain admission into their top schools. Whether you’re looking to improve your GMAT or SAT/ACT scores, need essay review, or want to run through admissions interview prep, I’d be happy to help!
Why do I coach?
I grew up in a low-income, first-generation household and helped support my single immigrant mother through high school and college. Programs like QuestBridge, along with guidance from peer mentors, opened doors that once felt out of reach. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to give back by working with students from diverse backgrounds, and it brings me immense joy to help them grow personally and professionally: to see them achieve opportunities they once thought were unattainable.
