MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Emily brings extensive insider knowledge of the MBA admissions process, informed by her own recent and successful application experience. She was admitted to each of her target programs, including Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, and Columbia Business School, where she received a full merit scholarship. Emily achieved a GMAT Focus score within the top 8% of all test takers, distinguished by a Verbal Reasoning score in the top 1% and a Data Insights score in the top 5%. She also brings over three years of professional coaching experience, guiding consulting candidates through the application and interview process and helping them secure positions at top firms, including Bain, Deloitte, and BCG. Emily graduated with honors in economics from Claremont McKenna College. She works in management consulting and lives in New York City.

I have helped over 150 candidates gain admission to programs including INSEAD, London Business School, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Yale SOM, IESE, Oxford Saïd, Cambridge Judge, and others. My clients have come from companies including Netflix, Naver, Nexon, Santander, and Accenture. Many of the people I work with are exceptional candidates whose strengths are easy to underestimate on paper, especially if they are applying from outside the US or UK or working in a second language. They do not just need help polishing essays. They need help understanding what makes them compelling and communicating that with clarity, confidence, and precision. I help you identify the story, judgment, and self-awareness that admissions committees are actually looking for, then express it in a way that is memorable without feeling manufactured. If you are aiming for the highest level and want a coach who understands both international applicants and high-stakes positioning, I can help.

My experience at Bain has equipped me with a deep understanding of strategic operations and a keen insight into the MBA admissions process.

Hi! I’m Chloe—an HBS MBA and former brand strategist here to help you craft standout MBA applications. After 5+ years in advertising, I decided to apply to business school on a whim in March 2024, giving myself just five months before Round 1 deadlines. In that time, I refined my strategy, tackled the GRE, and built a cohesive application—ultimately earning admission to 5 top-10 programs, including Harvard Business School. As a storyteller by trade, I specialize in turning your experiences into a clear, compelling narrative that actually stands out. I offer focused, high-impact support across personal story development, essay editing, school-specific positioning, and interview prep. I also know how intense this process can feel, so beyond strategy, I promise to be a sounding board, cheerleader, and voice of reason to keep you grounded and confident along the way. If you’re aiming for top programs and want sharp, thoughtful guidance throughout the process, I’d love to work together!

Most MBA applicants look very similar on paper, especially those coming from consulting or IB. The difference between getting in and getting rejected often comes down to how well you differentiate your story. I’m a strong MBA coach because I understand exactly what it takes to stand out in a highly competitive applicant pool. Coming from a consulting background at a top-tier firm with a business degree, my profile initially looked quite “standard.” I successfully developed a distinctive narrative that helped me gain admission to my dream program at MIT Sloan. Beyond admissions, I also navigated the financial side of the MBA journey, securing multiple scholarships—particularly those available to German-speaking applicants. This allows me to help candidates not only get in, but also make their MBA financially viable. Over the past few years, I’ve mentored several prospective applicants with similar consulting backgrounds, supporting them end-to-end, from school selection and storytelling to essays and interview preparation. Many have gone on to receive offers from top programs. I combine firsthand experience, a structured consulting mindset, and personalized coaching to help candidates craft applications that truly stand out.

🟢 While I only applied to Columbia Business School, I believe the key aspects to MBA admission (GMAT, essays, references, alumni interview, and ultimately positioning yourself) are largely the same across all programs 🟢 That said, if you're looking for school-specific admissions on advice, I can only speak to CBS 🟢 In the decade+ since graduating, I've directly coached a handful of applicants and guided dozens more as they each embarked on their own admissions journey 🟢 Lastly, while it makes me feel old, I'm also proud to say I've written reference letters for a handful of HBS and Stanford GSB students who have all since graduated and are doing great things 🙋🏻‍♂️ Here to help!

Hi there! I'm Erin, a graduating full-time MBA candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where I've honed skills in Economics and Entrepreneurship. As an Admissions Fellow at Booth, I've interviewed candidates and provided valuable insights to prospective students at admissions events, giving me a deep understanding of what top business schools are looking for. My professional journey includes strategic roles at Vanguard and an internship with McKinsey & Company, where I gained firsthand experience in management consulting and will be returning full-time after graduation. I am a proud first generation student who has successfully coached candidates in their MBA applications through the Forte Foundation network, helping them craft compelling narratives and navigate the admissions process. While at Vanguard, I spent several years in our Education Savings practice - in addition to MBA application logistics, I am well-versed in various ways to financially plan for school and am comfortable discussing program fit (i.e., full-time versus part-time). Making MBA dreams a reality is one of my favorite ways to spend my time, and I'd love to work with you!
