About

Hi! I'm Cynthia, a Harvard Law School graduate, former corporate attorney at Sullivan & Cromwell, and former management consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG). I offer personalized coaching in two areas: **law school admissions** and **management consulting case interview preparation**. 🎓 Law School Admissions Coaching: I help applicants navigate the law school admissions process and put together compelling, authentic applications. I can support you with: - School selection and overall application strategy - Personal statements and supplemental essays - Resume development and application positioning - Diversity statements and addendums - Application reviews, editing, and interview preparation My goal is to help you tell your story effectively, highlight your strengths, and submit the strongest application possible. 💼 Management Consulting Case Interview Prep: As a former BCG consultant, I successfully navigated the **highly competitive non-MBA hiring process**, transitioning into management consulting from a background in law. I understand firsthand the unique challenges of recruiting for top consulting firms without a traditional MBA background, including how to translate your prior experience into a compelling consulting candidacy. I help candidates prepare for case and behavioral interviews at firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain (MBB), including: - Live mock case interviews with detailed, actionable feedback - Case structuring and problem-solving frameworks - Market sizing, quantitative analysis, and mental math - Business intuition, brainstorming, and synthesis - Behavioral and fit interview preparation - **Non-MBA and experienced-hire recruiting strategy**, including positioning transferable skills and crafting a compelling career-transition story Whether you're an undergraduate, graduate student, or experienced professional looking to break into consulting, I can help you approach the recruiting process strategically and confidently. My Coaching Approach: My coaching style is personalized, practical, and supportive. Whether you're applying to law school or preparing for consulting interviews, I'll help you identify opportunities for improvement, build confidence, and present your strongest self. I'd love to work together!

Why do I coach?

I've navigated two highly competitive career paths, from Harvard Law School to corporate law at Sullivan & Cromwell, and later transitioning into management consulting at BCG through the non-MBA hiring process. I know firsthand how overwhelming and intimidating these application and interview processes can feel, especially when you're navigating an unconventional path or don't have access to the same resources and guidance as other candidates. I coach because I genuinely enjoy helping people recognize their strengths, build confidence, and pursue opportunities that might initially feel out of reach. I believe that with the right preparation, strategy, and support, talented candidates can stand out regardless of their background. My goal is to make these competitive processes feel more approachable and transparent by sharing the insights, strategies, and lessons I've gained from my own experiences. There's nothing more rewarding than helping someone take the next step toward a goal they've worked hard to achieve!
