What's your hook? - Comprehensive MBA application package
Getting into a premier MBA program does not happen by accident, and requires meticulous planning and coordination within the application to tell a holistic story. Over the course of five hours, this comprehensive package will help you with said process from end-to-end. We'll start with the initial idea for your "hook" and story you want to tell, and ensuring we have the vision to share on why the MBA program needs you. We'll then brainstorm and refine the individual pieces (e.g., essays, resume, recommendation letters, etc.) to build your application strategy. Finally, we'll execute on the strategy, iterating on content until it is as close to perfect as possible. Building your MBA application is a very personal journey, and I give you my word that I will treat you as my only client to develop the hook that most represents you and maximizes your chances of getting into your dream school!
What's included
- Detailed story development - from initial brainstorming to finalization for the application
- Application strategy for what role each app piece (e.g., resume, recommendation, essay) could and should potentially play
- Holistic resume review to ensure competitiveness
- Essay review and feedback through multiple iterations

HBS grad with a holistic approach to crafting your MBA story
If you re-ran your life as a simulation 100 times, how many of those times would you end up in a similar(ish) place? How many truly divergent, fork-in-the-road, life changing moments appear in your timeline that irrevocably alter the course of your trajectory? If you took a look at where my career path was in ~2015, you'd likely expect the 100 simulation outcomes to be more or less the same. Graduating from a state university and working at a mid-tier oil & gas company as an individual contributor, my path to accelerated advancement had few branches open to me. Nonetheless, I was fortunate enough to make my way to Harvard Business School in 2016, and ultimately a long and successful career in consulting with Bain & Company - two divergent moments that forever changed my career path and future. I hope to use my time here with Leland to help create divergent and transformative moments for your career path as well. Within consulting, I focus mostly in Performance Improvement and Social Impact, though I have a breadth of casework experience including Private Equity, Healthcare, Energy, Technology, and Supply Chain & Operations. I also love mentoring great people (in and outside of Bain), which is why I am here with Leland! Outside of work, I am involved with a non-profit board (the Austin Asian American Film Festival), and I love to travel and explore the world, having visited ~100 countries (depending on how you count them), as well as climbing big mountains around the world. Looking forward to connecting soon!
