MBA Application: Essay Editing and Review - Polish and Perfect
This plan is designed to help you craft MBA application essays that are polished, compelling, and uniquely yours—essays that capture the attention of admissions committees and make your application stand out. With my experience as a former Booth Adcom and my own successful journey through top MBA programs, I understand what it takes to create essays that resonate. I’ve helped applicants from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds translate their experiences into powerful narratives that secure admissions and scholarships. My approach is structured, honest, and results-driven, focusing on presenting the strongest version of your story. Here’s how we’ll work together: Kickoff & Planning Session: We’ll begin with a deep dive into your background, goals, and any initial ideas you have for your essays. This session will help us identify the key themes and stories that will form the backbone of your application. Story Development & Brainstorming: I’ll guide you in uncovering the most impactful experiences and insights from your journey. We’ll work together to find the narrative thread that highlights your unique strengths and aspirations. Drafting & Structuring: Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an existing draft, I’ll help you develop a clear structure and tone that aligns with your voice and the expectations of top MBA programs. Revisions & Feedback: I’ll provide detailed, constructive feedback across multiple rounds of edits, focusing on clarity, cohesion, and impact. We’ll ensure that every word contributes to a compelling and authentic narrative. Throughout the process, I’m here to support you as both an editor and a strategic partner. My goal is to help you feel confident that your essays reflect who you are and why you belong at a top MBA program. Let’s work together to polish and perfect your essays, setting you on the path to your dream MBA.

Siri O.
Former Booth Adcom | Craft Winning MBA Applications That Stand Out
Hi, I'm Siri (yes, like the iPhone), a Chicago native and the founder of Chitown Tutoring, one of the highest-rated college admissions, academic coaching and test prep companies in Chicago. With over a decade of experience, I’ve helped more than 500 students build confidence, raise their scores, get admitted into T50 undergraduate and graduate school programs, and and take control of their academic futures, especially in high-stakes environments like the SAT, ACT, GRE, and high school entrance exams in Chicago and NYC. I hold a civil engineering degree from Illinois Tech and an MBA from Chicago Booth, receiving full-tuition scholarships from both institutions. As a first-generation / low-income college student, I know what it’s like to face big goals with limited guidance. That’s why I built Chitown Tutoring -- to provide the kind of consistent, high-quality support I wish more students had access to. Over the years, I’ve designed full curricula, onboarded and trained 50+ tutors, led school programs, partnered with various youth organizations servicing low-income students, and personally delivered more than 10,000 hours of one-on-one instruction. I created Chitown to close the gap between potential and access. I don’t just help students pass a test or get into their top school. I help them believe in their ability to learn, to problem-solve, and to compete. I blend personalized instruction with strategy and mindset development so students can excel in school and beyond.
