Wharton MBA Application Coaching (Lauder, HCM)
We'll use this time to move your Wharton application forward, focusing on what matters most to you. As a Wharton Admissions Fellow, I ran Team-Based Discussions and 1:1 interviews. I also interviewed Lauder (dual-degree MA program) candidates. We can flex this time to work through your story, 'why Wharton,' your overall candidacy, essays, or anything else you're prioritizing. If you're applying to Lauder, HCM, or another dual-degree or specialty program, we can work through those elements as well.
What's included
- A clear story and answer to why Wharton
- Essay outlines or drafts to build from
- A plan for the rest of your application

Tyler W.
Wharton MBA/Lauder MA | Former Admissions Interviewer | Consultant + Coach
I’m Tyler, a Wharton MBA and Lauder MA alum who’s spent more than a decade in strategy consulting across travel, health, and hospitality, launching new ventures and bringing new products to market. I’m a Texan native and Austin-based now, but I’ve also lived and worked across both coasts and spent time on all seven continents before turning 30, including stints in Ghana, Argentina, Mongolia, and even Antarctica. I’ve always chased experiences that push me out of my comfort zone. Whether you’re aiming for your dream MBA program, exploring dual degrees, or just trying to make sense of your path, I’d love to help. I especially enjoy working with messy, nonlinear stories. I’m a believer that substance beats polish when telling your story. You don’t need a perfect story. You just need to understand your own story and learn how to tell it with clarity and conviction. When I’m not coaching or working, I’m usually hiking with my pup, throwing pottery at my local ceramics studio, practicing Portuguese, grabbing a Belgian beer, or enjoying live music.
