Business Master’s Admissions Consultants

I hold a master’s degree in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University and now work professionally in the field designing and facilitating leadership development programs, leading initiatives, and coaching professionals in complex organizational environments. Because of that experience, I understand both sides of the equation: what top programs are looking for in applicants and how the degree actually translates into real-world career opportunities. I help applicants clarify their story, articulate why organizational psychology is the right path for them, and present their experiences in a way that stands out to admissions committees. My goal is to help you move beyond generic applications and create a clear, compelling narrative about who you are, what you want to do, and why this degree is the next logical step.

Welcome to my profile! I'm Joseph M. Kemp, JD, MBA, MSEd, the CEO & Founder of JMK & Co., a grad school admissions consultancy.

Admits to HBS, Stanford, Wharton, and INSEAD. Most of the people I coached came in convinced they were a long shot. The profile was never the problem. The framing was. I also now interview candidates as an alumni interviewer for INSEAD, so I've seen both sides of the table: what actually lands, and what doesn't. And unlike most coaches, I'll help you think past the application itself: whether the degree makes sense for where you want to go, what the post-grad paths really look like, and whether the tradeoffs are worth it. That conversation doesn't come up enough — but it's usually the most important one.

As a graduate of Harvard Kennedy School’s Master in Public Administration program and Creighton University’s Master in Investment Management and Financial Analysis program, I bring both the insider’s perspective and the strategist’s eye to the admissions journey. I have served on the Harvard Kennedy School admissions committee, participated in high-profile initiatives such as the Forte Foundation and Ladies Who Launch, and led numerous school tours and admissions events designed to shape and select the next generation of leaders. This dual vantage point, of both applicant and gatekeeper, allows me to guide clients with precision and candor. I know what elite admissions committees look for, what makes an application unforgettable, and how to transform a candidate’s story into a compelling case for acceptance. My coaching is rigorous, deeply personal, and grounded in the belief that every applicant can rise to meet the standards of the world’s most competitive graduate programs when their true narrative is brought to light.

I work with applicants targeting competitive Master's programmes at UK universities, with a particular focus on healthcare, policy, global affairs, and social sciences. I've completed three Master's-level qualifications, two of which were in the UK - an MSc in China & Globalisation at King's College London, and a fully-funded Master's in Healthcare Leadership (jointly delivered by the Universities of Birmingham and Manchester). Between them, I've navigated everything from a highly competitive academic social sciences programme to a funded, vocational leadership Master's designed for practising public health sector professionals - so I understand how differently these applications need to be approached depending on the programme type. I also completed my undergraduate degree, a BSc in Political Economy, at King's College London, where I served as a student ambassador, supporting prospective and incoming students through the application process itself. I bring the same structured, strategic approach to every client: understanding what a specific programme and admissions panel is actually looking for, then helping you build a personal statement and application that reflects your genuine strengths clearly and compellingly, rather than a generic template.

I completed both an MBA in International Management and a Master in European Business at ESCP Business School, studying in international, multicultural environments and building a career across the UK, Luxembourg, Italy, and Brazil. I understand the challenge of translating an international academic and professional background into a coherent application that clearly explains who you are, what you have achieved, and why a particular program is the right next step. Before joining Leland, I supported 20 candidates with master’s applications and interview preparation. I help applicants define their positioning, select the strongest evidence from their experience, improve their CV and application narrative, and prepare for behavioral and motivation-based interviews. As a former Amazon Hiring Manager who conducted more than 150 interviews, I bring an evaluator’s perspective: my focus is not on producing generic answers, but on helping you communicate your motivation, potential, and fit in a credible and memorable way.
