Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Consultants

Welcome to my profile! With a Bachelor's in History of Science & Computer Science from Harvard University and a deferred MBA offer from Harvard Business School, I bring a unique blend of analytical and strategic expertise to MBA coaching. My experience as a Strategy Consultant at Capital One and IBM has equipped me with the skills to guide clients through the complexities of MBA applications. Additionally, as a former President of the Harvard Black Students Association, I have honed my leadership and communication skills with university leadership, which I leverage to help my clients craft compelling narratives. Having coached more than 100 individuals, I am passionate about helping you achieve your MBA dreams. Let's work together to make your application stand outz!

I have spent nearly a decade working in MBA admissions, first as a member of the admissions committee at Emory University's Goizueta Business School and subsequently as an independent admissions coach. My AdCom experience gave me direct insight into how applications are evaluated, what makes a candidate compelling, and what causes even strong applicants to be passed over. That perspective informs every aspect of my coaching. As a Graduate Admissions Coach, I have worked with clients from the U.S. and abroad, guiding them through every stage of the MBA application process. My clients have earned admission to programs at Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, UPenn, Georgetown, UCLA, NYU, USC, Tuck, Boston University, Imperial College London, the University of Toronto, and many more.

As a Harvard graduate and Columbia Business School MBA Candidate who has built a career in financial services (investment banking and private equity), I am confident in my ability to direct prospective students to successful outcomes and to help them secure spots at their dream school. I am also on a full-tuition scholarship at CBS and would be happy to help students with securing financial support for their degree programs.

I'm an experienced admissions consultant with almost a decade of expertise navigating elite admissions - for my own admissions processes for undergrad (Harvard) and full-time MBA (matriculated at Stanford GSB, additional acceptances to Wharton and many others). Outside of my own admissions successes, I've been a professional admissions consultant, beginning in 2016 with my work as an early hire at CollegeVine, one of the leading (undergrad) admissions consultancies in the US. I've formally consulted with, and informally mentored, countless students across both undergrad and grad school, with many acceptances to Ivies+. Regarding MBA admissions: I navigated my own admissions process with a relatively "nontraditional" background, coming from startups and, further back, self-employment. My view on admissions is one rooted in pragmatism and genuineness; let's dispense with some of the trite advice and focus on what your background offers, the story you have to tell, and why you actually want to go to business school. (And even whether you *should* go to business school! Navigating doubt is, in my opinion, an important part of this process as well.) Beyond admissions, I'm a successful startup operator - most recently as the exited COO of Impactive, a YCombinator-backed political software startup (acquired by ActBlue in 2025).

With an MBA from MIT Sloan and a diverse background in leadership roles, including as a Director of Supply Chain at Johnson & Johnson and an Assistant Professor at West Point, I bring a unique perspective to MBA admissions coaching. My experience as Chief of Staff during a major acquisition has honed my strategic planning and analytical skills, which I leverage to help clients craft compelling applications. I've successfully guided 5 clients through the MBA admissions process, focusing on application strategy, essay development, and interview preparation. Let's work together to make your MBA aspirations a reality—reach out to start your journey!

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at MIT Sloan, I bring a unique blend of technical and strategic expertise from my diverse professional background, including roles at AWS and AngelList. My journey from a Fulbright Fellow to a Software Engineer and Venture Capital Associate has equipped me with a deep understanding of the skills and experiences top business schools value. I have coached a few clients, helping them craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths and stories. 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!

I am a current MBA student at Harvard Business School and work closely with the admissions team as an admissions representative. As part of HBS' admissions team, I help prospective students navigate the admissions process with an eye toward HBS' needs and preferences. I'm passionate about guiding aspiring MBA applicants through the process in a way that aligns with their goals and ambitions. Before business school, I was Chief of Staff at a tech VC firm in Silicon Valley and decided to come to business school to build my own venture. I care deeply about helping people and beyond my corporate experience, I founded and scaled a nonprofit that supported over 20,000 families during the COVID-19 pandemic. When I applied to business school, I didn't have the "perfect" application, with scores below what the typical M7 norm is. So, crafting a compelling story was crucial to me being here. I believe a business education can benefit anyone, no matter their background, and that everyone has something valuable to bring to the table. I coach because I enjoy helping applicants figure out what that could look like for them and sharing what I’ve learned along the way.

Hi there! I’m Dawn, a Stanford GSB MBA and Penn alum (summa cum laude), with experience across business strategy, leadership, and social impact. I’ve worked at Microsoft in product strategy and corporate development, at BCG as an Associate, and now as the CEO & Co-Founder of Allswell, a startup focused on health equity. I know firsthand how daunting the MBA application process can be—but I also know how to navigate it successfully. I’m passionate about helping applicants tell their stories in a way that feels authentic, compelling, and uniquely theirs. Whether you're just getting started or refining your final drafts, I’d love to support you on this journey. Let’s work together to make your MBA dreams a reality!
