I've helped over 1000 applicants from around the world get into Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, INSEAD, and every other top program you can name. I’m Ellin Lolis, founder of Ellin Lolis Consulting, a global MBA admissions firm with a 98.9% success rate. I’ve spent the last 10+ years guiding applicants with a proven, step-by-step methodology that simplifies the process and maximizes results. As a certified career coach and award-winning writer, my approach helps you craft a powerful personal brand, connect your story and values to each program, and submit applications that actually get you in. Clients often say I treat their application like my own. That’s because I do. I bring the same level of strategic precision and emotional support to every engagement, pushing you to deliver your best work while helping you stay grounded and confident along the way. I've collaborated with a range of different clients from every continent, including clients with low GMAT scores, 40+, traditional IB/MBB applicants, and even non-traditional applicants like nuclear scientists and sports journalists. For each, I helped them find their unique voice that helped them stand out in the crowded admissions space. If you’re aiming high and want a coach with the track record, tools, and heart to get you there, I’d love to work with you.

Hello, I’m Amos, and I help high-achievers navigate career pivots with a mindful lens, MBA admissions, and a more grounded, sustainable way to succeed. I’m a Harvard MBA and Fulbright Scholar, and I was also accepted to Stanford GSB, MIT Sloan, Columbia, and Yale SOM, and was a Gates Cambridge and Yenching Academy finalist. I’ve spent much of my life searching for meaning and purpose, from Wall Street to the U.S. Army, to NGOs and humanitarian aid, and development finance across East Africa and conflict-affected regions of the Middle East. Across these experiences, one theme has consistently emerged: external success, money, and even impact don’t automatically translate into fulfillment. Fulfillment is an internal journey, one that requires reflection not just in the mind, but in the body as well. I believe coaching isn’t just about optimizing your next move or chasing the right title. It’s an opportunity to slow down and honestly reflect on: - What actually matters to you - What kind of life you want to be living, not just what looks good on paper - How to pursue ambition without burning yourself out or losing yourself along the way I help people combine practical strategy with presence and embodiment, so progress doesn’t just look good, it actually feels right. Together, we turn your goals into concrete actions while staying connected to your values, nervous system, and sense of meaning. When helpful, this may include meditation, somatic practices, or yoga. Wherever you are in your career, education, or life transition, my goal is to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and deeper alignment. Here are some of the ways I work with clients: - Career pivots and major decision-making - Building resilience and preventing burnout in demanding roles - MBA, prestigious fellowship, and service academy admissions - School selection, essay ideation, and interview preparation Life isn’t easy, and it isn’t supposed to be. But if you’re serious about building a life that feels both meaningful and ambitious, I’d love to explore what that could look like together. Feel free to reach out or schedule a no-pressure conversation to see if this work feels like a good fit.

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at London Business School and a former member of the student admissions committee, I have a deep understanding of what top business schools are looking for in applicants. My professional journey includes extensive experience at Accenture, where I advanced from Consulting Analyst to Strategy Senior Consultant, honing my strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. I have successfully coached 5 clients, helping them craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths and experiences. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you navigate the MBA admissions process with confidence. Let's connect and work together to achieve your MBA goals!

T10/Ivy League Admits, current Yale MBA Student. Have guided multiple students in the previous application cycle, helped secure T10 admits from schools like Tuck, Haas, and Booth.

I am a current student of the Kellogg School of Management, with previous work experience within management consulting and in two high growth startups in NYC . I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor of science in Finance and received my masters degree in Information Systems and Operations Management. After school, I spent some time at management consulting firm Guidehouse Consulting before I transitioned to a Series B Unicorn food tech startup called Gorillas - the fastest European startup to ever reach a $1B valuation. I led the growth function at Gorillas for one year until I was offered the opportunity to lead North American expansion for micro-mobility startup Zoomo. At Zoomo I led our expansion into new markets, including launching our first Canadian operations. As an applicant from an over-represented demographic with a sub-optimal GMAT score and a lack of "prestigious" work experience I was able to navigate the application process and successfully land multiple top business school admits. As a coach, I plan to teach you the tips and tricks necessary to be successful in the ultra-competitive business school admissions cycle. I had immense success with gaining admission to a number of M7 and Top 10 schools including Kellogg, Yale, and Dartmouth Tuck. Areas I feel I can particularly bring value in coaching include: MBA Coaching: - Crafting a compelling and cohesive story (theme) for your application even with an untraditional work background or sub-optimal GMAT / GRE score. - Helping you stand out to the admissions committee as an over-represented applicant - Writing compelling and effective essays - 6+ month out application plan with a detailed breakdown of your application journey schedule - Preparing for interviews (Mock Interviews) - School and recommender selection advice

More than any credential, what you should know about me is that I get it. This is a crazy process that's become hyper competitive, and standing out feels like an impossible task. I grew up in a small town, didn't go to the prestigious college, and didn't know any "insiders." I have a belief in myself and the skills I've developed through trying a bunch of things and failing a lot. I want to share these skills (and my belief in you). That being said, here are some credentials if that's your thing: • Stanford GSB MBA Candidate – Class of 2027 • Coaching | Case prepped and mentored 30+ undergraduate and MBA students • Bain | Worked for Bain & Co. before school, focusing on retail and consumer case work • Startup | Grew wholesale for a men’s athleisure brand from $0 to $4M • Resumes | Edited 50+ resumes in undergrad and reviewed 200+ resumes as Bain recruiting lead • Speech & Writing | Wrote and delivered commencement speech for Miami University Farmer School of Business graduation ceremony • Interview Training | Trained as Bain interviewer to score case interviews and behavioral questions • GMAT / Test-taking | Scored in highest percentile of GMAT test-takers

I've spent the last 16+ years helping ambitious applicants get into the world's most competitive MBA programs, including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, and Booth. Across 200+ MBA clients, 95% have been admitted to at least one of their top-choice programs, and over half have received scholarship money. I graduated from NYU Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Economics and English, and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School in 2020, where I focused on Strategy and Entrepreneurship. That gives me a current, first-hand perspective on what M7 adcoms are actually looking for. My career in this work started in Singapore, at a test prep and admissions firm I helped expand into Shanghai, running tutoring and admissions consulting in both markets before coming back to New York to found my own practice. That international background means I'm equally comfortable working with US candidates and applicants from Asia, Europe, and beyond, particularly the kinds of candidates who often have the strongest stories but the hardest time articulating them: finance professionals reinventing themselves, engineers making a pivot, non-traditional career switchers. My work focuses on coherence. Most applicants arrive with strong but scattered material: a real career, real accomplishments, but no through-line. My job is to help you find the narrative that ties it all together, build a school list that's strategic (not aspirational), and turn essays into the strongest part of your application instead of the most stressful. If you want a structured, results-focused partner, let's talk.

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School through HBS 2+2's deferred admission, alongside acceptance into 3 other M7 schools (Columbia, UChicago, Northwestern), I bring a wealth of experience coupled by results. So far, I've informally coached a handful of undergraduates as they navigate the journey I went through not too long ago to help them secure their dream schools. I have a diverse background of experiences from top-tier firms like Deloitte and Ernst & Young, as well as prestigious programs like the Obama Foundation's Voyager Scholarship. My background in strategy, global community development, and economic consulting equips me with the insights needed to tailor your application for maximum impact. Let's work together to craft a compelling narrative that sets you apart. Reach out to start your journey to an elite MBA program!

As a current MBA candidate at The Wharton School, I have provided 1:1 coaching to over 30 prospective students to support their MBA application process. I bring a wealth of experience through my own MBA application process, which was enriched by my role as an MBA Fellow with Management Leadership for Tomorrow and Questbridge MBA Scholar, where I gained insights into crafting compelling applications for top business schools. Through these efforts, I was accepted as an MBA Candidate at The Wharton School, Harvard Business School, and UChicago Booth. Let's get started today and help best prepare you for the business school program of your dreams!
