Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Consultants

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. I'm John, an MBA and MBB case interview coach with admits to Stanford GSB, Wharton, Booth, and Kellogg (and an interview from Harvard--nearly got all the infinity stones!). I can walk you through differentiating your profile, application strategy, interviewing flawlessly, and deciding which school to choose after you secure admission at all your top choices.

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.

Welcome to my profile! With over two decades of experience in MBA admissions and marketing consulting, I bring a wealth of knowledge to help you navigate the competitive landscape of business school applications. As the founder of my own consulting firm, I've successfully guided clients to top programs worldwide, including Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and INSEAD. My unique background includes serving as an admissions reader at Johns Hopkins University and as the Director of Admissions at the University of Bath, where I evaluated applications from diverse international candidates. I specialize in crafting compelling narratives that resonate with admissions committees, drawing from my own experiences as both a part-time and full-time MBA student. Let's work together to create a standout application that reflects your unique story and aspirations. Reach out to start your journey to a top MBA program!

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.

As a healthcare professional and clinician-in-training, it was very important for me to 'bridge the gap' between the medical and business worlds. Having leaned into a true hybrid mentality, my passion areas of science, medicine, and business development have fostered my unique perspective on blended training and professional practice. I strive to coach other hybrid professionals as they break into new, complementary spaces.

I am a Wharton MBA graduate who is passionate about helping aspiring business leaders secure admission to top MBA programs and build successful careers in consulting, tech, and venture capital. Having earned acceptances from three M7 schools with scholarships, I understand the challenges of standing out—especially for candidates from competitive demographics. My coaching is highly personalized, focusing on crafting a compelling narrative that highlights your unique strengths and differentiates you from the crowd. Let’s work together to position you as a dynamic, high-value candidate who will thrive in your future MBA cohort.

Despite being from an overrepresented demographic, I managed to get accepted into all three programs that I applied for (INSEAD, Oxford, and Berkeley). Additionally, I had major financial and time constraints because I already had 2 children (at the age of 28!) before applying to business school. I'm not a naturally good test-taker so I had to be both efficient and creative to pull this off. I was able to get into these programs because I'm strategic, resourceful, and know how to craft a story with the audience in mind. I have a lot of experience teaching/training and am excited to help you craft your story and demonstrate to admission committees that you are unique and that you have a lot of value to add to their programs.

After going through the MBA application process last year and as I near graduation, I feel that I have a fresh and holistic perspective to share across all areas of the process for multiple Top 25 programs. Much of what I learned through that process has been so beneficial in my time at Duke.

Hi, I'm Natalie. I went to Stanford GSB, and also received offers and full scholarships from MIT, Columbia, and NYU. While my roots are in Finance, I dove into entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing post-graduation, having founded and sold one company, and took another from Series A to Series C, expanding to 5 new markets and generating multi-million dollars of sales in 4 years. Coaching-wise, I've had the privilege of guiding candidates to successful admissions at top schools like Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Chicago Booth. One individual's testimonial encapsulates the impact of our engagement: "I connected with Natalie during a pivotal time in my career in 2019, when I was applying for my MBA and contemplating a shift from my five-year tenure as an investment associate to a more strategic role. Natalie's willingness to share her own career journey was invaluable. Her insights extended well past the professional realm, guiding me through her experiences during her MBA journey and beyond, helping me clarify my career direction and reevaluate what truly mattered in my life. Natalie's mentorship was exceptional, offering a wealth of practical advice for my career. Her support and guidance have played a significant role in shaping my educational and professional journey. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a mentor and advisor, particularly for those seeking career growth and direction." Beyond MBA coaching, I provide comprehensive career guidance, drawing from my diverse experiences. If you're looking for practical advice and a mentor who understands the twists and turns of various career paths, let's connect and navigate your journey together.
