End-to-End Coaching
I work with candidates from initial strategy through submission, helping shape a compelling application that reflects their distinct personal and professional story. The comprehensive package includes: Application Strategy: Deep-dive intake to define your positioning, career goals, school strategy, and overall application narrative. MBA Resume: Transform your experience into concise, impact-driven bullets tailored to MBA admissions. Recommendations: Select the right recommenders and develop prep materials that surface specific stories, strengths, and constructive feedback. Essays: Develop and refine essays that connect your experiences, goals, and motivations to each school. Final Application Review: Ensure every component is polished, cohesive, and reinforces your candidacy. Interview Preparation: School-specific mock interviews with detailed, actionable feedback.
What's included
- 15 Initial Questions: Nitty gritty, soul searching prompts to identify your differentiating talents: family background, personal passions, extracurriculars, nothing is off limits. We’ll work to identify anecdotes and patterns to get super specific on the through line / north star of your candidacy.
- Work Log: A recounting of all of your major work projects and extracurricular activities. The STAR method helps as an initial outline before digging into your unique content and cultural contributions. This will become the foundation of your professional letters of recommendation and the beginning of your activities list.
- Unlimited Essay Drafts and Edits: We play with different ideas, with no limits on drafts. At times, we’ll draft two to three different outlines per essay, write them both and see which narrative feels more authentic
- Resume Review: Strip out the jargon, be outcomes oriented, and highlight your leadership orientation! We’ll do both in line edits and a holistic evaluation of your experience to make sure your professional accomplishments are punchy and succinct.
- Interviews: Mock interview sessions tailored to each school to ensure you come across as both polished and approachable - a fantastic asset to any MBA class!
