MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Hi, I’m Madeleine! I am a former Harvard admissions team member, while being a graduate student at Harvard University. I'm an expert in nailing the admissions interview, and I have coached more than 500 students through highly selective interview process ranging from undergraduate, graduate, and private K12 schools. I know how strong interviews create positive bias that follows you into committee and elevates your entire application. I have a unique multifaceted approach based on my rare interdisciplinary background: • Harvard-trained: Harvard admissions insight and extensive network - • Athlete mindset: Performance and mindset coaching from being a NCAA Division I Athlete, and turned Pro Athlete • PR Psychology: As the spokesperson for a global tech company, having done 100+ conference panels, webinars, and podcasts, I know how to infuse the • Proven success helping 500 plus students shine in selective interviews, including admits to MIT, Cornell, UT Austin, Harvard, and Columbia Let's make your BEST self shine through, and BOOST your entire application together!

I’m a current Berkeley Haas MBA who cracked admission to one of the most selective, culture‑driven programs out there (top 3 Bloomberg 2025) — and I know exactly what “Haas‑material” looks like to the admissions team from the inside. Shoot me a message to learn more.

I hold degrees from Harvard, MIT, Wharton, and Stanford—giving me firsthand experience navigating multiple highly selective MBA and graduate programs. As a Stanford GSB Sloan Fellow (MSx), Wharton MBA/Lauder MA graduate, former INSEAD exchange student, and London Business School admit, I don’t just understand elite admissions—I’ve done it repeatedly across U.S. and European systems. Today I’m an active entrepreneur, investor, and board member: co-founder of an AI-native digital health company operating in Mexico, partner at a real estate private equity firm, and founding partner of a venture firm. I’ve also guest lectured at Stanford School of Medicine and MIT. That means my coaching isn’t just about getting in—it’s about building a credible, compelling story that matches what top programs are actually trying to select: leaders who will execute and create impact after graduation. I work with both U.S. and international applicants (with deep experience advising Latin American candidates; I’m fluent in Spanish and Portuguese). My specialty is fit-first strategy: identifying the programs that best match your goals (not simply the highest-ranked), then translating your profile into a sharp positioning, essays that sound like you at your best, and confident interview performance. Whether you’re targeting an M7, a top European program, or a non-traditional path like MSx/Sloan Fellows or joint degrees, I’ll help you apply—and choose—wisely.

I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School and a Master's in Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School. I've coached 10+ clients into MBA programs including HBS, Wharton, Stanford, Oxford, LBS, and INSEAD. Having navigated roles across strategy consulting, finance, VC and impact myself, I work with you to decode unconventional career paths and turn them into a sharp, coherent and distinctive MBA narrative. I specialize in helping you build the genuine story that ties your career trajectories, values, and ambitions into a compelling case for why you belong at a top program.

Good advice should not break your bank. And good advice should be unique. I help MBA applicants find the story that makes everything make sense. My specialty is connecting the dots — personally, professionally, and strategically — so your application reads as a coherent, compelling story rather than a collection of disconnected achievements. I am especially strong at helping applicants find their unique voice and differentiation. This is not a Mad Libs approach, and it is not a factory or template. I help you uncover the most powerful unifying storyline behind your life, career, decisions, ambitions, and future direction. Why this path? Why now? How does everything you have done so far logically lead to what you want to do next? What is the deeper pattern behind your experiences? What makes your candidacy feel not just impressive, but inevitable? Over the past 12 years, I have advised roughly 100 applicants, most targeting top 10 MBA programs. My coaching style is intense, direct, and highly detail-oriented. I am a perfectionist about narrative coherence. I push candidates to go beyond surface-level achievements, uncover the strongest themes in their background, clarify credible short- and long-term goals, and translate their experience into essays and interviews that feel specific, mature, and authentic. The final application should not sound manufactured; it should feel honest, distinctive, and unmistakably yours. I am particularly helpful for candidates with complex, international, technical, finance-heavy, startup, or non-linear backgrounds. If your story has many moving pieces, I can help you connect them into a compelling admissions narrative: where you have been, what shaped you, what you are building toward, and why an MBA is the right bridge. My background combines education from MIT Sloan MBA / undergrad at UPenn, international business experience across the U.S. and China, and years of advising students and professionals on applications, essays, interviews, and career positioning. I have worked across strategy, operations, venture capital, M&A, clean tech, and startup commercialization, which gives me a practical understanding of how ambitious candidates should frame their leadership potential, career goals, and personal differentiation.

As an MBA Candidate at Georgetown, my focus has always been helping others reach ambitious goals. Through 30+ MBA admissions interviews, experience as a hiring interviewer at Deloitte, and leadership roles across consulting, government, and military service, I understand what competitive programs and employers look for in candidates. As a Consortium Fellow (full scholarship), MLT MBA Prep Fellow, and Army veteran, I also understand the unique challenges many URM and veteran applicants face while navigating admissions and career transitions. Whether you need support with application strategy, essays, interview preparation, or positioning your story effectively, I’m here to help you present your strongest and most authentic self.

Recently graduated from Harvard Business School (HBS) with an MBA. Applied to three MBA programs and was accepted to all three: Stanford GSB, Harvard Business School, and UC Berkeley Haas.

I bring a combination of top tier academic credentials, consulting experience, and firsthand admissions success that allows me to coach MBA applicants with both strategy and empathy. I earned my MBA from INSEAD, one of the world's leading business schools, and successfully navigated a highly competitive admissions process as an international applicant. Professionally, I worked as a Management Consultant in the Private Equity practice at Bain & Company in London (where I also involved in the recruitment program for fresh consultants) before joining Sana Labs in a GTM leadership role. Sana Labs was later acquired by Workday in one of Europe's largest AI acquisitions, giving me firsthand experience in a fast growing, high impact technology company. Throughout my career, I have interviewed candidates, mentored professionals, and helped peers refine their applications, essays, resumes, and interview preparation. I understand what top business schools look for beyond strong test scores, including clarity of purpose, authentic storytelling, leadership potential, and career vision. Whether you're applying to INSEAD, LBS, or other leading MBA programs, I'll help you build an application that is compelling, differentiated, and true to your story.

I know what it takes to win a seat at a top MBA program as a non-traditional applicant — because I did it. I earned my MBA at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth after a career as a physician, with a Yale MPH along the way. I understand exactly how admissions committees read an application: how to turn an unconventional background into a standout story, how to make essays authentic and differentiated instead of generic, how to choose schools strategically, and how to prep your recommenders and nail the interview. I later became a Vice President in Healthcare Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs and served on recruiting teams that evaluated scores of candidates; so, I know what excellence looks like on paper and in the room, and I bring that same discerning eye to your candidacy. I work especially well with healthcare and non-traditional applicants (including MD/MBA and other dual-degree paths), though I coach applicants from every background. Expect direct, structured, high-signal feedback and a clear plan: candidacy assessment, school strategy, résumé, essays through multiple rounds, recommender strategy, and interview prep. My goal is simple: to help you present the most compelling, authentic version of your story, and get in.

As an IESE Business School and Imperial College London alumni (scoring in Top 10% of my classes, respectively), my MBA coaching journey began in 2020 after my experience at Harvard Business School’s Summer Venture in Management program, where I coached ambitious undergrads through their Deferred MBA Programs, securing admits from: MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, HBS 2+2, and Moelis Advance Access for Wharton. Since 2020, I have cultivated an MBA/MiM/Master coaching toolkit that encompasses: goals-first, logic-first, culture-fit first sense of executive and corporate storytelling for the M7 universities in the United States and for the top executive programs in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and greater-Asia. Now, I coach a selective clientele all over the world, with recent success stories involving international admits to UChicago Booth (with 60% scholarship), most notably. Over the past two years, I have learned the inner workings of every top program, helping a roster of 15+ (and counting) clients gain admission into their dream schools.
