The Selectivity Playbook: How to Win at 6%–2% Acceptance Rates

What does it take to win at the world’s most selective admissions games, from Stanford GSB (~6%) to the Obama Leaders Program (~2%)? In this interactive session, I’ll share the exact framework I’ve used to earn spots at elite MBA programs and fellowships, and to help more than 60 clients gain admission to top schools like HBS, Wharton, and Stanford GSB. I didn’t come from these circles, I grew up underexposed to elite institutions and networks, entered Wall Street through a back door, built and sold a startup, and carried a huge chip on my shoulder. That journey taught me how to compete for selective opportunities by crafting applications that are brutally specific, human, and impossible to ignore. You’ll leave with concrete strategies you can apply immediately to your MBA, fellowship, or other competitive application — plus a free resource to help you put the framework into action.
