MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I applied to Stanford GSB and Oxford from Turkey, with a path that didn't fit any template: government work in Rwanda and Ethiopia and early-stage venture in Turkey. I got into both on scholarships. What worked wasn't a polished résumé. It was knowing which story to tell and how to tell it to a reader who has three minutes and a stack of three hundred. That's what I help with. For years friends have sent me their essays and asked me to run mock interviews, and I've spent hundreds of hours reading drafts, finding the thread, cutting what doesn't matter. Most of them got in. I'm now doing it properly, with a small number of applicants each cycle. I'm especially good with international candidates, because I was one: the questions about how much to explain, how to frame a non-Western path, how to sound like yourself in a second language. I'm direct and you'll hear what's working and what isn't from me. If you have a draft, or a blank page and a deadline, send me a message.

I got into Wharton with a GMAT of 710 and TOEFL of 106, both well below the school's average. I also received scholarship and fellowship offers from NYU Stern and Michigan Ross. My test scores didn't define my application. What stood out was my unique story: diverse career pivots across functions and markets, a niche in entrepreneurship, design thinking, and EdTech, and a track record of doing things others thought impossible (like publishing two books before ever working in corporate). I leaned into what made me different, not what made me "the same best" as everyone else. That's the biggest mistake I see applicants make: trying to fit into what they think MBA programs want. But admissions committees aren't looking for the "best" candidate. They're looking for a diverse class of unique individuals. Your job isn't to be perfect. It's to be distinctly you. I pursued a dual degree, MBA and Master's in Education, at Penn because I'm genuinely passionate about empowering others. That same passion drives my coaching today. I also know what it feels like to work with big-name consultants who don't remember your story and give generic advice. My approach is different. I offer personalized support and help you uncover and articulate what makes you stand out. Whether you're an international student, a career changer, or still deciding if an MBA is the right path, I'm here to help you figure it out.

I've navigated the full MBA journey end-to-end as a career-changer: admitted to Kelley School of Business (Indiana University) after pivoting from digital marketing and agency work, then recruited into McKinsey & Company — one of the most competitive post-MBA outcomes — landing both a Summer Associate internship and a full-time Associate offer. I can help with essay strategy, school selection, resume positioning, recommender coaching, and MBA interview prep, plus the full consulting recruiting process once you're on campus. Best fit for: career-changers (especially marketing, advertising, and agency backgrounds), Kelley applicants, non-traditional candidates, and MBAs targeting MBB/tier 2 consulting.

Hi, Nick here! I am currently an MBA candidate at The Wharton School, and previously worked in management consulting. For undergrad, I attended Stanford and served as co-class President. I was born and raised in South Florida, to parents who came to this country as refugees. I see my life as proof that the American Dream is alive and well, and hope that others from any background can find similar fortune in their journey! Business school has likely been the most positive and productive chapter of my life so far, and I owe great thanks to those who helped me get here. Hopefully, I can help you too! I consider my best areas of expertise to be overall application strategy, school selection, testing, interviews, and essays.

With years of experience as the Assistant Director of the PhD Program at Harvard Business School, I advised and supported more than 130 students annually while also leading admissions committees for doctoral programs in addition to MBA programs.

Drawing on this expertise, I now coach prospective MBA students through every stage of the application journey — from crafting compelling personal narratives and refining essays, to interview preparation and strategic school selection. My approach emphasizes authenticity, clarity, and proven admissions insight, helping every client present their strongest and most competitive application.

I'm a current graduate from MBA at The Wharton School (Class of 2026), where I scored a 760 on the GMAT (99th percentile) and was admitted with a nontraditional, technical profile — an IIT Delhi engineering degree, five years in quantitative finance, and no prior business coursework. I know firsthand how to build an application that turns a "nontraditional" background into a differentiator rather than a liability, because I had to do it myself. Before Wharton, I spent five years at JPMorgan Chase as a quant researcher, where I was fast-tracked through three promotions and rated in the top 10% of 350 peers — experience that gives me a clear view of what admissions committees are actually looking for underneath the essay prompts: evidence of impact, leadership, and self-awareness, not just credentials. At Wharton, I've stayed close to the admissions and career-strategy world through the Consulting Club, the Wharton India Economic Forum (where I served as VP of the Startup Challenge), and as an Investment Associate with Wharton Impact Ventures — giving me an up-to-date, insider's read on what's resonating with committees right now, not just what worked when I applied.
