Samuel’s MBA Qualifications

Samuel has helped clients get into these schools:

I’ve been fortunate to excel at every stage of my academic and professional journey—starting with a competitive high school experience that led to a merit-based scholarship at Vanderbilt, where I studied Human & Organizational Development with minors in Corporate Strategy and Leadership. Since then, I’ve built a dynamic career across consulting (PwC), product management (Home Depot, MassMutual), and most recently, enterprise tech sales at Salesforce. I earned a merit scholarship to the Wharton School, where I now serve as an MBA Admissions Fellow, supporting the next generation of applicants. As a person of color, I understand the importance of articulating cultural nuance and lived experience in a way that resonates with elite institutions. I’m passionate about coaching and mentorship, and I’ve helped applicants from non-traditional backgrounds—including sales, media, and nonprofits—gain admission to top MBA programs like Wharton, Stanford GSB, Columbia, and HBS. I bring a deep understanding of how to craft compelling, authentic narratives that stand out in a competitive applicant pool
