What separates a solid MBA application from a truly standout one? In this session, Kelsey K and Horatiu S will break down exactly how to elevate each component of your application - from resume to recommendations - into a compelling, cohesive, and competitive package. We’ll start with the heart of a strong application: your narrative. You’ll learn how to move beyond listing achievements to crafting a clear story that connects your past, present, and future - anchored in self-reflection and authentic motivations. We’ll show you how to make your impact shine by quantifying results and adding meaningful context that brings your leadership to life. Next, we’ll discuss how to demonstrate genuine fit with your target programs by going beyond the website to identify specific courses, programs, and cultural elements that resonate with your goals. You’ll learn how to approach recommendations strategically, ensuring they reinforce your story and add powerful third-party validation. Finally, we’ll talk about the importance of showcasing your authentic voice and personality, and how to let it come through in a way that’s both professional and human. This session is for applicants who are ready to do the deeper work it takes to rise above the noise and submit applications that admissions committees will remember.

100+ people coached for MBA
As a former M7 Admissions Director, I help you craft authentic, powerful applications that stand out and get results. Since 2017, I’ve helped hundreds of MBA-hopefuls get accepted to top MBA programs across full-time, executive, and part-time programs — and I look forward to helping you do the same. 93% of my clients achieve MBA success — and more than half secure scholarships averaging $180K. I served on Columbia Business School’s admission committee, where I reviewed countless applications, interviewed candidates, managed the world-wide interview program, served as a waitlist manager, and managed the dual degree programs for the Law, Medical, and Journalism schools. Thereafter, I transitioned into finance, with stints at a hedge fund, a large bank, and in venture capital. Yet, even as I built my career, I missed the part I loved most — helping candidates craft their stories. I returned to the admissions world as a coach. On the other side of the admissions journey, I saw critical gaps in the application process: limited guidance around testing, the challenge of telling narratives within the confines of a few essays and a resume is challenging, and how admissions committees can seem like a black box. My mission reflects these gaps - offer best-in-class advice, work closely with a small number of candidates, and provide personal partnership to every client.
