Wharton MBA coach - Let’s Make Your Application Make Sense

Do you want someone to write your essays for you? ✍️❌ Looking for tips on what adcoms want to hear? 🗣️📉 Please move on — I’m not the right coach for you. But... If you believe in the MBA process, want to reflect deeply, understand yourself better, and craft an application that truly represents you — while still being strategic and putting your best foot forward 👠 — you’re in the right place. 🙌 👋 A Little About Me - Consultant. Engineer. Indian. MBA applicant cliché? Yep — that was me. 🤷🏽‍♀️ So… how did I stand out? I became a full-blown MBA admissions geek 🤓 — I read every blog, watched every video, networked like crazy, and left no stone unturned. I ended up getting interview invites from every school I applied to and ultimately chose to attend Wharton. 🎓 Let’s be real — an MBA is a $250K+ decision 💸. This deserves thoughtful planning, honest reflection, and a no-BS strategy. And while I’m not a full-time admissions coach, I am someone who’s walked this path recently — and I know exactly what it feels like to question everything. So no, I won’t tell you what to say — but I will help you figure out what you want to say, give you clear, trusted advice, and cheer you on when you're spiraling at 2 AM with an existential crisis and 9 drafts of your essay open 😅. 📞 Coaching Calls I Recommend 1. "Help! Should I apply for an MBA in the next 3-4 years?" 🤔 We’ll talk about your life goals, career trajectory, and whether an MBA fits in — plus things you can start doing now to explore your options. 2. "R1, R2, consultants, part-time, full-time — I’m confused!" 🌀 Let’s go back to basics. We’ll break down what matters, how to structure your timeline, and what works best for your career and energy levels. 3. "Help me pick schools!" 🎯🏫 School selection is both art and science. Let’s talk brand, culture, career outcomes, and your fit. We'll also go over research strategies, how to network with students/alumni, and event planning. 4. "Help me streamline my story" 🧩 Who am I? What do I want to do? Why MBA? Yeah… this one takes work — maybe even a few calls. You’ll get homework, and bonus points if you bring your best friend or partner on the call to pressure test your story 👯‍♀️ 5. "Resume review — the shebang!" 📝🔍 We’ll dive into structure, bullets, impact, formatting, and that subtle line between “business badass” and “overblown buzzword generator.” 6. "TIMELINE!" 🗓️📌 Think of me as your Project Manager. You’re busy, life is chaotic — but MBA apps don’t wait. Let’s make a clear timeline, with checkpoints and accountability, so you don’t end up panic-submitting at 11:58 PM. 7. "Help me strategize recommendations" 🗣️💬 SO important. This can make or break your app. Let’s talk who to ask, how to ask, and how to make sure your recs bring out a different (but aligned) side of your story. 8. "Is everything coherent?" — Final sanity check 🧠💡Your essays, goals, resume, and recs should all sing the same (authentic) tune. Let’s zoom out, do a final review, and tie any loose ends. 9. "Hurray! I got the interview!" — Now what? 🎉🎤 Congrats — but the game’s not over. We’ll do a mini mock, workshop your stories, and tailor your strategy to the school and format (team-based, behavioral, etc). ✨ Want to mix and match? Need something custom? DM me — happy to tailor sessions based on where you are in the process.
