Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Consultants

I built and ran a blog and podcast all about life and careers after the military and have worked with lots of veterans as they look into MBA programs. I worked with multiple clients at a boutique MBA consulting firm and helped them get into one of their top 2 schools, all within the Top 20.

Emily brings extensive insider knowledge of the MBA admissions process, informed by her own recent and successful application experience. She was admitted to each of her target programs, including Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, and Columbia Business School, where she received a full merit scholarship. Emily achieved a GMAT Focus score within the top 8% of all test takers, distinguished by a Verbal Reasoning score in the top 1% and a Data Insights score in the top 5%. She also brings over three years of professional coaching experience, guiding consulting candidates through the application and interview process and helping them secure positions at top firms, including Bain, Deloitte, and BCG. Emily graduated with honors in economics from Claremont McKenna College. She works in management consulting and lives in New York City.

I have helped over 150 candidates gain admission to programs including INSEAD, London Business School, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Yale SOM, IESE, Oxford Saïd, Cambridge Judge, and others. My clients have come from companies including Netflix, Naver, Nexon, Santander, and Accenture. Many of the people I work with are exceptional candidates whose strengths are easy to underestimate on paper, especially if they are applying from outside the US or UK or working in a second language. They do not just need help polishing essays. They need help understanding what makes them compelling and communicating that with clarity, confidence, and precision. I help you identify the story, judgment, and self-awareness that admissions committees are actually looking for, then express it in a way that is memorable without feeling manufactured. If you are aiming for the highest level and want a coach who understands both international applicants and high-stakes positioning, I can help.

I bring deep experience coaching applicants through competitive MBA admissions, with successful placements at top programs including Kellogg, Booth, Wharton, CBS, Duke Fuqua, Ross, Yale SOM, and more. As a Yale MPH and current Kellogg MBA in the Healthcare@Kellogg and Strategy pathways, I understand how top business schools evaluate candidates and how to craft compelling, high-impact applications. Over the past two years, I have advised 17+ applicants across traditional, deferred, and part-time MBA programs. My coaching spans strategic positioning, essay development, resume refinement, recommendation strategy, and interview preparation. I specialize in helping applicants with healthcare, non-traditional, and social impact backgrounds articulate a clear narrative that resonates with admissions committees and maximizes admit probability.

I was admitted to HBS, Kellogg, Tuck, and Fuqua (4-for-4) without a typical feeder background. I came from a Big Ten school and corporate healthcare, so I had to be strategic about how I told my story. Now I help high performers from corporate, healthcare, and other non-traditional backgrounds do the same. We’ll focus on positioning: finding the angle that makes your experience stand out, building essays around it, and preparing you to tell that story with confidence in interviews. Professional credentials HBS (MBA) McKinsey & Company (Engagement Manager) Healthcare product and operations leadership (Galileo, Truveta, TurningPoint) Book an intro call and bring your resume. I’ll tell you where your story is strongest and what’s missing.

Welcome, and congratulations on taking this exciting step in your MBA journey! I was in your shoes not so long ago, and I hope to be a trusted coach and resource for you along the way as you work toward admission to a top MBA program. I help prospective applicants develop a clear, competitive strategy by working closely with them to assess whether an MBA is the right next step, strategize the appropriate application round, build a thoughtful target school list, define compelling short- and long-term post-MBA goals, and craft a personal narrative that connects their experience, leadership, and future vision into a persuasive application. As a Student Life Fellow at Wharton, I support admitted students and have been trained to answer nuanced questions about academics, student life, clubs, and the day-to-day experience of an MBA program. I also provide specialized guidance for applicants pursuing Wharton’s highly selective Health Care Management (HCM) program, including how to approach the application and interview process. In addition, I help candidates prepare for Wharton’s unique Team Based Discussion (TBD) interview by strengthening how they communicate, think strategically, and contribute with confidence in a collaborative group setting. I look forward to helping you put forward your strongest application and move closer to your MBA goals.

I applied to a broad range of top programs and was admitted to every school I applied to (4 M7 and 10 T15), despite having a sub-par undergraduate GPA and a non-traditional background. Now, I’ve been on both sides of the process. Most recently, I served on the Chicago Booth Admissions Committee, where I reviewed 100s of applications, interviewed candidates, and saw firsthand how this are evaluated internally (NOTE: It’s a far more structured and methodical process than most applicants realize!) I work selectively with motivated applicants who want honest, direct feedback and a clear strategy from someone who has navigated the process successfully and understands how decisions are actually made.

I coach MBA candidates using a combination of firsthand insight from top business schools and a proven record of admissions outcomes. I am a Wharton MBA and Trailblazer Fellow, and I currently serve as President of the Wharton Graduate Association, representing over 2,000 MBA students and working closely with school leadership. I was also admitted to Harvard Business School, which gives me a direct understanding of how the most selective programs evaluate candidates and differentiate between strong profiles. I’ve coached 60+ MBA applicants, helping candidates gain admission to Top 10 programs, including Wharton, Stanford GSB, Kellogg, Columbia, Haas, Booth, NYU Stern, and Duke Fuqua. Prior to business school, I worked across product, operations, and finance roles at Amazon, Capital One, TD Bank, and high-growth startups, allowing me to coach candidates from nontraditional and international backgrounds with real-world context. My approach is candid and outcome-focused: I help clients understand what truly matters in the admissions process, craft clear and authentic narratives, and approach business school intentionally as both an admissions decision and a long-term career investment.
