Complete MBA Application Partnership — Up to 3 Schools
This is a highly tailored, end-to-end partnership for applicants who want strategic and editorial support throughout the MBA application process. We’ll begin with a comprehensive kickoff session to assess your candidacy, clarify your goals, and identify the experiences and qualities that make you distinctive. From there, we’ll develop an application strategy for up to three MBA programs in a single admissions round. The package includes: • Candidacy assessment and school-selection strategy • Clear positioning and a cohesive application narrative • MBA resume development and editing • Brainstorming, outlining, and detailed feedback on essays and short answers • Recommender selection and guidance on how to prepare your recommenders • Review of application forms, activities, awards, and other written components • Interview strategy and mock-interview preparation • Final application review for consistency, clarity, and completeness You’ll receive up to 20 total hours of support, allocated between live coaching sessions and asynchronous document review according to what will be most useful. We’ll maintain a shared plan with priorities, deadlines, and clear next steps throughout the engagement. My goal is not to manufacture an admissions persona or force your experience into a standard template. We’ll build an application that is strategically strong, genuinely reflective of you, and written in a voice that still sounds like your own.
What's included
Our work will be collaborative, candid, and highly tailored. I’ll begin by asking detailed questions about your experiences, decisions, goals, and concerns so that we can identify the strongest strategy before rushing into essay drafts. Live sessions will focus on decisions, story development, problem-solving, and substantive feedback. Between sessions, I’ll review agreed-upon materials and provide specific written comments rather than simply rewriting your work. You will always remain the author and final decision-maker. I keep my roster relatively small so that I can know my clients well and remain closely engaged with their progress. You can expect direct feedback, clear priorities, and concrete next steps after each stage of the process.

Top MBA Coach | 20 yrs of Coaching | Ex-Consultant | HBS '23
Most people do not need another template. They need someone who can understand their situation, spot what matters, and help them do their best work. I've been tutoring and coaching since I was 15. What began as academic tutoring has grown into nearly two decades of helping students and professionals think through difficult decisions, communicate more effectively, and pursue ambitious goals with a clear plan. I graduated cum laude from Phillips Exeter Academy before attending Princeton University for my undergraduate in Classics with a certificate in Finance, then later earned my MBA from Harvard Business School. Along the way, I worked in strategy consulting at Deloitte, helped lead an education-focused venture incubator at CityBridge, managed research at Harvard's Future of Media Lab, continued coaching at higher and higher levels, and advised startups and nonprofits on strategy, operations, and the practical use of AI. Students I've coached have been admitted to undergraduate programs including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, UChicago, Dartmouth, NYU Stern, Duke, and Georgetown. Graduate applicants I've supported have earned admission to programs including Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Harvard Law, Yale Law, and Harvard Kennedy School. I also earned a 750 (of 800) on the GMAT and a 335 (out of 340) on the GRE, including a perfect 170 Verbal score. My coaching style is warm, direct, and highly tailored. I ask a lot of questions, pay close attention to the details, and try to understand the person behind the immediate goal. I'll tell you honestly when something is not working, but I will also help you figure out what to do next. I keep my roster relatively small because I like knowing my clients well. There is no standard template that gets applied to everyone. We will build an approach around your goals, your circumstances, and the way you work best.
