Vidit’s MBA Qualifications
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
I recently graduated with MBA from INSEAD. I was invited for the interviews from INSEAD and HBS despite being in an over-represented demographic. As a non-traditional applicant myself, I completely understand your weaknesses and strengths. I found it essential and extremely helpful to get relevant feedback from experts while building a strong narrative in an extremely competitive pool. And I would like to give back to prospective students who are in my shoes to share my experiences and lessons learnt, and provide the right guidance for you to succeed. As a coach, I will help you to reflect your true personality and character as authentically as possible while crafting a strong foundation for your essays and overall application strategy. I not only help my clients coach on applications and school selection but also keep in touch with them through their journey of completing their MBA, help make right career decisions, and share my life experiences with them. With prior clients I have typically focused on: - Writing a standout essay that reflects your personality as a whole considering with what the school is looking for - Adapting your resume to the appropriate MBA school audience - Choosing the right references and how to initiate conversation with them for strong references

Why do I coach?
For MBA applicants, I am excited to share all the knowledge and lessons learnt with you through my experience, and help steer you in the right direction. Having walked similar shoes few years ago I understand just how much time and importance needs to be dedicated to each of the different segments of MBA application. I help my clients paint a complete and a wholesome narrative around their "why" for attending school and clarifying how it aligns with their short-term and long-term objectives in life. I give honest, detailed, and direct feedback to my clients while making sure they are confident in themselves and are satisfied.
