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.

Hi! I'm a recent graduate of Columbia Business School with 10+ years experience in mentoring students. Pursuing an MBA had always been a dream of mine, and during my own application process, I leaned on my network of mentors and coaches for valuable guidance. Having realized my dream of attending business school at Columbia, I'm now excited and well-prepared to pay it forward by sharing the knowledge and personal experiences I've gained to assist others on their own MBA journeys. Over the past few years, I've helped edit 30+ applications (e.g. interview prep, editing resumes, reviewing personal statements), with a 93%+ success rate.

I was admitted to HBS in the 2022 cycle, despite having a lower-than-average GMAT, being a first-generation college student, and not hiring a consultant for myself. I'm now a recent graduate from Harvard Business School with extensive experience coaching friends and clients through their MBA applications over the last two years. I was one of six students from my year chosen to participate in HBS' admissions committee, where I supported the admissions team with welcoming students to campus and sharing advice on applying to HBS. Meanwhile, I was actively supporting my friends in their business school ambitions, who are attending HBS, Sloan, Wharton, and Anderson. During the last two MBA application cycles, I have helped at least one client get accepted into all M7 schools. Out of my clients, 5 will be attending HBS, 3 at GSB, 1 at Wharton, 2 at Sloan, 2 at Booth, 1 at Columbia, and 0 for Kellogg (maybe this year). I work full-time at Bain as a consultant, so this is simply something that I'm passionate about and want to continue doing on the side. I ask that if you're coming to me you're serious about applying and working through this process together, as I don't anticipate taking too many clients this year.

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!

I read MBA applications for the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley; I sat on the UT Austin MBA Student Admissions Committee when I was earning my MBA; and I've been a recruiter for top tech companies in the SF Bay Area. I received a full Consortium fellowship to complete my MBA and was also named a Forte Fellow. This coupled with my over 10 years in college admissions make me uniquely qualified to offer a diverse and informed perspective on putting together a strong application.

- Princeton BA - Wharton MBA with other M7 admits - 10+ years of admissions counseling experience. My passion is to help applicants showcase the best of themselves with specific focus on the admissions essay.

Coming from a technical background, I understand how to form a storyline and appeal to business schools through the resume creation process and answering difficult essay questions while weaving in university experiences and credentials. I have had non-traditional roles for MBA admitted students and I believe that I can help the most for students coming from engineering/computer science/data science looking to pivot into a business background.

I have a wealth of experience in the graduate management education sector and a global industry network. I have worked in higher education for almost 10 years. Most recently I was Director of Admissions at Imperial College Business School, and prior to that I was Head of MBA Recruitment and Admissions at Cambridge Judge Business School. I’ve read countless applications, interviewed hundreds of candidates and chaired many Admissions Committee meetings. I know what makes a candidate stand out in the application process, and common mistakes to avoid.  I know how daunting it can feel to start your MBA journey, and I want to use my knowledge and experience to help you navigate the application process with confidence, empowering you to submit your best MBA application.
