Chart your course: Comprehensive Package
I believe in partnering with you through every step of the process to ensure your best chance of success. This includes advice on all aspects of the application including school selection, goal definition, application strategy, essay content and line edits (within ethical reason), recommendations (high level only for ethical reasons), questions within the application, resume, interview preparation (if selected), and video essay (if applicable). There is no limit to the number of conversations we have or the number of essay drafts you send me. I customize my approach to fit my customers’ needs. While I have a proven methodology, I recognize every client thinks and works differently. Having issues with your outline? Let’s take a different approach. Your sentences aren’t flowing? Well, I can’t write your essays for you - but I can show you why and help you think through your style. Your mock interview sounds stilted? Let’s throw out the “traditional” behavioral practice and focus on extemporaneous speaking.

Professional Admissions Consulting + Industry Expertise = Your MBA Dream MBA Pathfinders was founded on the premise that helping candidates succeed in their MBA journey requires both a strong understanding of the MBA admission process as well as a keen knowledge of how businesses operate in today’s environment. My co-founder and I met 15 years ago at one of the best-known professional admissions consulting companies where we both received extensive training. We took that knowledge; we decided what worked and what didn’t; and we developed our own methodology. Though our careers are focused on MBA admissions, we both recognize the importance of industry knowledge. Developing an MBA application isn’t just about writing essays – it’s about charting your professional course to develop a compelling story. I have over 15 years of experience helping hundreds of candidates gain admission to the top US and European MBA programs. I am a member of AIGAC (Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants) - an industry association which ONLY accepts professional consultants. I attend conferences and webinars with Deans of Admission at the top MBA programs to discuss trends in admissions, how essays reflect a given school’s needs, candidate concerns with the overall process, and the role of AI in admissions. Finally, I provide strategy consulting services to Fortune 500 companies during the “off-season” to keep myself abreast of the latest industry trends. I received my B.A. from Smith College and my MBA from Columbia Business School. My latest reviews can be found on Poets & Quants: https://poetsandquants.com/consultant/pamela-jaffe/
