MBA Application: Ace Your MBA Interview
This plan is designed to help you ace your MBA interviews with confidence, clarity, and a compelling narrative that sets you apart from the competition. As a former Booth Adcom and someone who has successfully navigated the MBA admissions process, securing over $600,000 in scholarships from top programs, I understand what it takes to stand out—especially if you're coming from a non-traditional background. My experience spans engineering, consulting, entrepreneurship, and social impact, allowing me to help you translate your unique experiences into a story that resonates with admissions committees. Here's how we'll work together to prepare you for your MBA interviews: Kickoff & Strategy Session: We'll begin with a deep dive into your background, goals, and the key themes that define your candidacy. Together, we'll craft a personalized interview strategy that highlights your strengths and aligns with your target schools. Recommendation Guidance: I'll help you identify the best recommenders and guide you on how to approach them. We'll ensure your recommendations are aligned with your overall narrative and reinforce your application themes. Cover Letter Crafting: If your target schools require a cover letter, I'll assist you in drafting a compelling one that succinctly conveys your motivations and fit for the program. Mock Interviews: We'll conduct mock interviews tailored to each school's format, focusing on both behavioral and situational questions. You'll receive real-time feedback to refine your responses and delivery. Storytelling & Communication: I'll coach you on how to articulate your story with clarity and impact, ensuring you can confidently answer "why MBA" and "why this school" questions. Feedback & Iteration: After each session, you'll receive detailed feedback and actionable insights to improve your performance. We'll iterate on your responses until you're fully prepared. Throughout the process, I'm here to support you as a strategic partner, helping you present the strongest version of your story. My goal is to ensure you walk into your interviews feeling prepared, confident, and ready to impress. Let's work together to make your MBA interview a success.

Siri O.
Former Booth Adcom | Craft Winning MBA Applications That Stand Out
Hi, I'm Siri (yes, like the iPhone), a Chicago native and the founder of Chitown Tutoring, one of the highest-rated college admissions, academic coaching and test prep companies in Chicago. With over a decade of experience, I’ve helped more than 500 students build confidence, raise their scores, get admitted into T50 undergraduate and graduate school programs, and and take control of their academic futures, especially in high-stakes environments like the SAT, ACT, GRE, and high school entrance exams in Chicago and NYC. I hold a civil engineering degree from Illinois Tech and an MBA from Chicago Booth, receiving full-tuition scholarships from both institutions. As a first-generation / low-income college student, I know what it’s like to face big goals with limited guidance. That’s why I built Chitown Tutoring -- to provide the kind of consistent, high-quality support I wish more students had access to. Over the years, I’ve designed full curricula, onboarded and trained 50+ tutors, led school programs, partnered with various youth organizations servicing low-income students, and personally delivered more than 10,000 hours of one-on-one instruction. I created Chitown to close the gap between potential and access. I don’t just help students pass a test or get into their top school. I help them believe in their ability to learn, to problem-solve, and to compete. I blend personalized instruction with strategy and mindset development so students can excel in school and beyond.
