Deferred MBA Admissions Consultants

I applied to HBS and Stanford GSB through their deferred MBA programs and was admitted to both (~5 people worldwide; <1%). Before I applied, I spoke to 100+ successful MBA applicants and used their advice for my applications. Happy to pass on the knowledge. I am new to formal coaching, but have mentored 5 individuals through the entire application process. All of them have got into Stanford GSB or Harvard Business School. I went through all these applications recently (2022-2024), so can provide relevant information for today's processes. I worked as a consultant at BCG for almost 2 years and recently left to building a healthcare startup. How I can help: ◆ Interviews: realistic HBS and GSB mock interviews with direct, specific feedback, plus help with the HBS post-interview reflection ◆ Essays: turning your experiences into a clear, memorable story, with structured feedback over a set number of drafts ◆ Strategy and school selection: how to position your profile, which schools and rounds to target, and how to explain your goals convincingly ◆ Resume: rewriting bullet points the way consultants do: concise, focused on impact, and easy to scan ◆ Deferred MBA applicants (HBS 2+2, GSB Deferred): I'll help you choose the right first job, frame your story as a college student and stand out in a pool of high achievers ◆ Ding analysis: an honest diagnosis of what held your application back and a concrete plan for your next round My style is structured, candid and efficient. Excited to work with you :)

Started coaching formally on Leland - my last client was accepted to HBS and Wharton! Experience with coaching with 2+2 programs

I am a JD / MBA candidate at Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School. I have 5 years of professional experience in high finance.

I've helped over five applicants in the last two years gain admission to Wharton with funding ranging from 25% to full-tuition scholarships, and have coached peers into top 10 MBA and master’s programs—many with significant scholarship offers. I specialize in helping applicants craft compelling, authentic stories that clearly show how an MBA aligns with their personal and professional goals. My expertise in storytelling was sharpened through years of securing nationally competitive fellowships, including the PPIA Junior Summer Institute at Princeton and the Harvard Kennedy School’s PPLC Fellowship. If you’re looking for a coach who will help you connect the dots between your experiences, aspirations, and the MBA journey, I’d love to support you.

Seasoned early-career and deferred MBA mentor with 3+ years of experience helping college students secure competitive first roles, particularly in MBB consulting. I currently work as an Associate at an MBB firm and previously interned at a Big 4 company.

I’m passionate about helping ambitious students and young professionals navigate the deferred MBA process, craft compelling personal narratives, and strategically plan their early careers to maximize their chances of admission to top programs.
