Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Experts

I am a great MBA coach because of the unique process and framework I developed and followed to obtain admission to multiple top 10 MBA programs. I come from a low-income first generation immigrant and college student background. I have experienced first hand what it's like to undergo the application process as an underdog by multiple measures and emerge victorious. I know how to navigate the common pitfalls and how to build a competitive application that punches above its weight. In addition, I have a passion for passing on the torch to the next generation and pulling folks up as I climb. In my free time I coach/mentor multiple students and professionals that share my background and have repeatedly heard from them that my advice, clear communication, and encouragement was instrumental in helping them achieve their academic and career goals. If you share my tenacious underdog mentality, know you deserve to be in a better place in life, and want someone to help you punch above your weight and navigate all the twists and turns, I am the coach for you!

My qualifications here come from sitting on both sides of the MBA experience. I earned my own MBA from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, starting the program in person and finishing online in 2015, when online graduate education was still relatively new. Combined with my other graduate degrees at Northwestern Medill, Harvard, and UIC, I have a real feel for how different learning formats work and what admissions committees across top programs tend to value. I scored well on the GMAT, I understand how applications are actually read, and over the years, I have written dozens of letters of recommendation for applicants. Nearly every one of them has landed at a top program, including schools like Harvard and Columbia. What I bring that many admissions coaches do not is practical business experience. I have founded multiple successful companies, including RevEng Consulting, and have spent more than 20 years in the business world at companies like SAP and LinkedIn. That lets me help applicants move past generic, theoretical essays and build specific, credible stories that resonate with admissions committees. RevEng also regularly hosts MBA interns, most recently a group from the University of Michigan in 2025, so I stay close to what current programs teach and how students are evaluated.

I’m a CPA and a Tax Manager at Deloitte. I’m on Leland because I know what it’s like to feel "pigeonholed" in a highly technical, niche role while eyeing a top-tier MBA. I successfully pivoted from Big 4 Tax to securing Full-Ride Scholarships at both Chicago Booth and Northwestern Kellogg, along with admission and scholarship offers from MIT Sloan, Columbia (CBS), Yale SOM, Duke Fuqua, Dartmouth Tuck and NYU Stern. My focus is helping "quiet" professionals translate their technical rigor into the high-impact leadership stories that M7 schools look for. I’ve lived the 60+ hour work week grind while navigating the application cycle, and I’m here to help you audit your own experience to find the threads that lead to an M7 acceptance (and hopefully with scholarships).

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.

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.
