Comprehensive Deferred MBA Package

I launched the HBS 2+2 Program back at the start of my own career, so the deferred MBA admission process is particularly near and dear to my heart! I know what it takes to be a successful candidate and love helping college students navigate their deferred MBA journeys. With a comprehensive package, I will become your trusted advisor and partner for all parts of this process. This package covers a range of services: school selection and fit assessment; narrative brainstorming; career goal refinement (pre and post-MBA); essay, resume, recommendation letter, and short answer revisions; interview preparation; career and post-acceptance consultation; and ongoing feedback and guidance throughout the deferred MBA application process.
What's included
- This package includes full support for your entire deferred MBA application journey - e.g., a clear application strategy and guidance on your personal narrative, coaching and editing to get to finalized application materials, interview preparation, etc.
