Kellogg MBA Grad (Class of 2024), Personalized Coaching
Hello! I'm Sathvika, a recent graduate of Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management (Class of 2024) - and it was the time of my life. From serving as Kellogg's Women's Business Association Co-President and performing in our annual business school musical to traveling the world with my classmates and partnering with Kellogg Admissions, I'm SO passionate about the unparalleled opportunities for professional and personal growth that business school has to offer. About me: I grew up in Houston, Texas and attended Boston University for my undergraduate studies in International Relations and Psychology. I then joined the corporate world where I started at Dow Chemical, working on post-merger integration projects. I then transitioned to digital transformation consulting at Accenture. Since undergrad, I knew I wanted the full-time top-tier MBA experience - so I began my application journey. The application process was intense – from GRE prep to crafting essays and securing great recommendations – all while balancing a demanding career. My efforts paid off with acceptances to all five schools I applied to. I ultimately chose Kellogg for its exceptional program and the alignment I felt to Kellogg’s culture and values. Now, as I embark on a new role in strategic partnerships and business development at an AI company in the Bay Area, I'm passionate about helping others achieve their MBA goals. It was incredibly transformative for me, so I'm excited to help you succeed. As your admissions coach, I offer: 1. Recent, relevant experience with the current admissions landscape 2. Insights from my successful application strategy 3. A comprehensive approach covering all aspects of the application process 4. A supportive yet direct coaching style to bring out your best 5. Insider knowledge from my work with Admissions I'm here to help YOU. Balancing application preparation with professional responsibilities can be daunting. My commitment is to guide you through this process efficiently and effectively, helping you present your unique strengths and experiences in a way that makes you stand out. I’ll never forget the emotions of receiving my first acceptance call. That's the moment I want to help you achieve. Let's work together to unlock your potential and open doors to transformative MBA opportunities. Your success story starts here – are you ready to begin?
