Loubna B.
Former Admissions Director | Expert in PhD Application Strategy & Coaching
Most applicants don’t get rejected because they lack experience. They get rejected because their application doesn’t make sense. The goals feel disconnected. The story is unclear. The essays try to fix things that should have been solved much earlier. That’s what I focus on. I’m a former Director of MBA Admissions at the University of Miami, where I made decisions on thousands of applications. I’ve seen exactly where strong candidates lose the committee, and it’s rarely where they think. I don’t approach this as editing or “polishing.” I work on the structure behind your application, your positioning, your decisions, and how everything connects. Because if that’s not clear, no amount of rewriting will fix it. Most of my clients come in with solid profiles and a lot of uncertainty about how to present them. Once that’s resolved, the rest of the process becomes significantly more straightforward and much more effective. If you’re looking for surface-level feedback, I’m probably not the right fit. If you want to understand how your application will actually be evaluated and what needs to change before you apply, then this is where we start.
