MBA Admissions

I've had such a great and formative time at business school and want to give back to others applying. As an applicant I got into Harvard, Stanford GSB, and Wharton. I come from a relatively overrepresented applicant demographic as well as bringing experience from applying from the UK to US business schools. I have coached people from all backgrounds and all those I've coached have received an offer from either Harvard or Stanford GSB (and many from both).

Welcome to my profile! I went through the MBA admissions process myself and went 3 for 3: HBS, Stanford GSB, and Columbia Business School. I know exactly what's working right now because I just did it. As a current MBA at Harvard Business School and a seasoned finance professional with extensive experience at J.P. Morgan, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the MBA admissions process. If you're serious about a top program, I know what it takes to get there. I have successfully coached clients, helping them craft compelling applications that highlight their strengths and unique stories. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you navigate the competitive MBA admissions landscape. Let's connect and work together to achieve your MBA goals! I'll give you honest, direct feedback - not the kind that makes you feel good but doesn't get you in.

My applicants have been admitted to schools including GSB, HBS, Wharton, Sloan, Kellogg, Ross, Cornell, Booth, Haas, Columbia, & Rice. Across first-time applicants, reapplicants, and deferred applicants, they have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships. Aside from my experience coaching MBA candidates, I have spent my post-GSB time consulting for founders, early-stage startups, and investors across for-profit and non-profit spaces globally. This has allowed me to uniquely guide current or aspiring entrepreneurs and investors throughout the application process and, for numerous clients, beyond as I’ve continued to be a resource helping to navigate questions regarding financial aid, maximizing the MBA experience, internships, and post-MBA careers. The application process is not easy and for most, including myself when I applied, it’s straight up stressful. I work closely with a limited number of clients, creating bespoke coaching experiences for each, building trust and bringing clarity to an opaque process. I believe this approach has helped my applicants be successful. Whether you’re coming from a traditional background or not, regardless of your test scores or application ‘gaps,’ if you’re interested in showing the best version of you possible and having someone fully on your team along the way please reach out.

If you're coming from a highly competitive/overrepresented background for top MBA programs (MBB, LMM/MM PE/VC, straight white male, etc.) then I'm your huckleberry. I'm John, an MBA and MBB case interview coach with admits to Stanford GSB, Wharton, Booth, and Kellogg (and an interview from Harvard--nearly got all the infinity stones!). I can walk you through differentiating your profile, application strategy, interviewing flawlessly, and deciding which school to choose after you secure admission at all your top choices.

Hey there! I'm a recent Stanford grad who got into both Stanford GSB and Harvard's 2+2 programs. Applying to these programs can be immensely stressful, and I've learned a lot along the way about how to effectively prepare and apply so there's no last minute worries. I'd love to help others reaching for these top programs on how to... - craft an awesome narrative - write meaningful essays that sound like YOU - test prep effectively for the GRE (in 3 months or less) - prep your recommenders - crush your interviews ...all WITHOUT crazy levels of stress. I've got templates, advice, and a network to lean on that'll make this process a breeze. I've been in your shoes a year ago, and I've got your back. Let's do this!

Hi, I'm Natalie. I went to Stanford GSB, and also received offers and full scholarships from MIT, Columbia, and NYU. While my roots are in Finance, I dove into entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing post-graduation, having founded and sold one company, and took another from Series A to Series C, expanding to 5 new markets and generating multi-million dollars of sales in 4 years. Coaching-wise, I've had the privilege of guiding candidates to successful admissions at top schools like Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Chicago Booth. One individual's testimonial encapsulates the impact of our engagement: "I connected with Natalie during a pivotal time in my career in 2019, when I was applying for my MBA and contemplating a shift from my five-year tenure as an investment associate to a more strategic role. Natalie's willingness to share her own career journey was invaluable. Her insights extended well past the professional realm, guiding me through her experiences during her MBA journey and beyond, helping me clarify my career direction and reevaluate what truly mattered in my life. Natalie's mentorship was exceptional, offering a wealth of practical advice for my career. Her support and guidance have played a significant role in shaping my educational and professional journey. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a mentor and advisor, particularly for those seeking career growth and direction." Beyond MBA coaching, I provide comprehensive career guidance, drawing from my diverse experiences.

I was admitted to the Stanford GSB and HBS Class of 2027. I did it without using any flashy admissions consultant. I also landed interviews at Wharton (Lauder) and MIT Sloan. Here's how I can add value to you: - Helping structure the process end-to-end for you, with weekly and monthly targets. Applications are a marathon and can't be done last minute. I left no stone unturned when I applied (research, networking, introspecting, iterating) and will ensure you don't either. - Brainstorming on school selection, your goals, and finding the stories that will shine through in your essays. - Crafting compelling essays, especially for Stanford, MIT, Wharton-Lauder and HBS. - Ensuring you get great letters of recommendation that complement your application. - Wordsmithing and perfecting your activities, extracurriculars, CV, and all the other bits. - Interview practice and tips. P.S. I applied with my Partner, who was admitted to Stanford GSB and MIT Sloan (50% scholarship). We're happy to provide couples with guidance.

I am 1/30 deferred admits to the Stanford MBA class of 2028. I applied as a senior in college, and have not only coached many peers on their own MBA admissions process, but I've frequently hosted events with Stanford MBA students in New York City. I have also served on the scholarship admissions counsel at USC, where I attended as a full-tuition merit scholar, as well as a campus recruiting lead for McKinsey & Company while I was a Business Analyst there. My specialty lies in authentic storytelling, and I excel at coaching students on how to write their personal statement, resume, application strategy for recommendation letters, and any other supplementary essays/materials. I use personality science and behavioral health best practices to help my students thoroughly enjoy the process of applying, and also utilize AI to design custom training plans and educational resources for the more mechanical parts of the application process, including test taking. I'm excited to work with more students, especially those who are looking for guidance on how to sell their story!
