Description

After 14 years on the MIT Sloan admissions committee, I became an admissions counselor, using my insider insights to help my clients create compelling applications that catch the interest of adcomms. In my time at Sloan, I read far too many cookie cutter essays that ended up in the ding pile. I also read many interesting applications that were strong but were missing just a few key elements that would have made them winners. My role is to help clients identify their unique strengths and stories so their applications end up in the accepted pile. Strong applications have a theme running though all elements – the short answers, essays, resumes, recommender letters and interview responses. Through this package I collaborate with clients on all aspects of their application starting with personalized self-reflection and strategy work to identify their unique traits and help frame their strategy and goals. We also work crafting a tailored resume, identifying and preparing recommenders, brainstorming and editing essays and interview prep. Should clients need it, I can provide waitlist and scholarship negotiation strategies. Not every candidate has a flawless background. Do you have a low GPA or just can’t achieve the test score you are aiming for? Let’s discuss and address these issues. I pressure test the ideas and work of all my clients so we can identify any holes or potential red flags before an application ends up in the hands of an adcomm. Prior to working in admissions, I had a career in finance – equity research, private equity and investor relations; many of my clients come from those areas or are targeting them but I work with clients from all backgrounds. Additionally, I am a member of a Blue Start military family and have helped many members of the military transition to civilian roles through MBA programs or skill up to further their military careers.
