Package Description:

Full-service application support across multiple top MBA programs, designed for candidates building strategic school lists and who want consistent depth and care at every school. Available in three tiers based on the number of schools you're applying to: 3 schools, 4 schools, or 5 schools. 3 Schools: $12,500: A focused engagement for candidates building a tight, strategic list of three top programs. 4 Schools: $15,500: A balanced engagement for candidates who want meaningful breadth without applying to every top program. 5 Schools: $18,500: A broad engagement for candidates applying widely across top MBA programs and who want full strategic care at every school. Whichever tier fits your school list, the work itself is the same in scope: full essay support across every school, school-by-school strategic positioning, comprehensive application materials, interview prep when invited, and a coherent core narrative that adapts cleanly to each school's specific evaluation priorities. The engagement begins with a comprehensive intake and narrative discovery session, where we surface the through-line in your career, the story that connects your accomplishments and points clearly toward your future. From there, we develop a coherent application strategy across your full school list: building a balanced mix of reaches, targets, and likelies, locking in round timing decisions, and identifying where to position the same core narrative differently across schools that evaluate candidates with different priorities. Each school on your list gets full essay support: every prompt, every draft, every revision. We work iteratively through multiple substantive drafts per essay (typically 5–8 rounds), refining structure, voice, and school-specific positioning until each essay is genuinely strong. Across the full set of essays, we ensure a coherent narrative that holds up across every school while making each application feel authentically tailored. Beyond the essays, the package covers your resume (polished and crafted for MBA admissions specifically), recommendation letter strategy across all schools on your list, the activities and short-answer sections, and post-MBA career goals framing. Round strategy decisions (R1 vs R2 vs R3) are locked in early so timeline expectations are clear from the start. If you're invited to interview at any of your schools, full interview preparation for those schools is included, covering each school's specific format and evaluation criteria, including the unique formats at Wharton (Team-Based Discussion) and any other school with a distinct interview structure. If you're applying to a JD/MBA program as part of your school list, the JD/MBA Add-On can be layered onto this package to cover the additional law school application work. Throughout the engagement, you have direct messaging access for time-sensitive questions, and we meet live for strategy work and substantive drafting sessions across the application cycle.

Additional details

Coaching delivered via live sessions.

This package combines live 1-on-1 video sessions with asynchronous review of essay drafts, application materials, and direct messaging access throughout the engagement. We meet live for strategy work, substantive drafting sessions, and key inflection points in the cycle, typically every 1–2 weeks during the lead-up to applications, stepping up to weekly or more frequent sessions during peak season as deadlines approach. My approach is structured and direct. Working across multiple schools requires a coherent core narrative that adapts cleanly to each school's specific prompts and evaluation priorities, that's the throughline of the work in this package. The depth per school doesn't change with the tier you choose: a 5-school engagement gets the same essay quality and strategic care as a 3-school engagement, just across more applications. I also serve as an alumni interviewer for Columbia Business School admissions, which gives me a current, first-hand perspective on what selective adcoms are evaluating in candidates. The candidates I work best with for this package are professionals applying to multiple top MBA programs, who want consistent depth and strategic care at every school on their list, and who understand that working across multiple schools requires real engagement on their end as well.

Refund Policy

Engagement timeline: This package is designed to be completed across approximately 3–6 months, depending on the tier you select and your earliest round deadline. Larger school lists benefit from earlier starts. Tiered pricing: 3 Schools: $12,500 4 Schools: $15,500 5 Schools: $18,500 Final pricing is confirmed at intake based on the specific school list. Applications heavily weighted toward HBS/Stanford/Wharton/Columbia may price slightly higher given the additional complexity. School scope: The school list can include any combination of top MBA programs, including HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Columbia. Candidates applying to a single school should consider the relevant single-school package; candidates applying to more than 5 schools should reach out to discuss custom scope. JD/MBA programs: If you're applying to one or more JD/MBA programs as part of your school list, the JD/MBA Add-On covers the additional law school application work. The add-on covers up to one JD/MBA program at the flat add-on rate; additional JD/MBA programs are scoped at intake. Live sessions: 1-on-1 video sessions are scheduled at mutually convenient times via my calendar, typically 60–90 minutes each. During peak season, session frequency steps up to weekly or more frequent. Cancellations require 24 hours notice; no-shows or late cancellations count toward the engagement. Response time: I respond to messages within 24 hours on weekdays and within 48 hours on weekends. During peak season, most responses are same-day. Essay revisions: Essay revisions are unlimited until each essay is final across every school on your list. Interview support: Full school-specific interview preparation is included for each school where you are invited to interview. Final review: A final review of each complete application is included before submission. Refunds: Refunds are available on a pro-rated basis for unused hours within the first 30 days of engagement. After 30 days, this package is non-refundable. Unused hours remain available throughout the application cycle.

Admissions Expert | Columbia MBA | 15 Years of M7 & Top School Admits

I've spent the last 16+ years helping ambitious applicants get into the world's most competitive MBA programs, including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, and Booth. Across 200+ MBA clients, 95% have been admitted to at least one of their top-choice programs, and over half have received scholarship money. I graduated from NYU Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Economics and English, and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School in 2020, where I focused on Strategy and Entrepreneurship. That gives me a current, first-hand perspective on what M7 adcoms are actually looking for. My career in this work started in Singapore, at a test prep and admissions firm I helped expand into Shanghai, running tutoring and admissions consulting in both markets before coming back to New York to found my own practice. That international background means I'm equally comfortable working with US candidates and applicants from Asia, Europe, and beyond, particularly the kinds of candidates who often have the strongest stories but the hardest time articulating them: finance professionals reinventing themselves, engineers making a pivot, non-traditional career switchers. My work focuses on coherence. Most applicants arrive with strong but scattered material: a real career, real accomplishments, but no through-line. My job is to help you find the narrative that ties it all together, build a school list that's strategic (not aspirational), and turn essays into the strongest part of your application instead of the most stressful. If you want a structured, results-focused partner, let's talk.
