Kellogg MBA | 3 Top 10 Admits with scholarship | Succeed with low GMAT/GRE
I am a graduate of the Kellogg School of Management, with previous work experience in venture capital, management consulting and two high-growth startups in NYC. I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Finance and obtained a Master's degree in Information Systems and Operations Management. After completing my studies, I spent some time at the management consulting firm Guidehouse Consulting before transitioning to Gorillas, a Series B Unicorn food tech startup. Gorillas became the fastest European startup to reach a $1B valuation. During my time at Gorillas, I led the growth function for one year before being offered the opportunity to lead North American expansion at Zoomo, a micro-mobility startup. At Zoomo, I spearheaded our expansion into new markets, including the successful launch of our first Canadian operations. As an applicant from an over-represented demographic with a sub-optimal GMAT score and a perceived lack of "prestigious" work experience, I successfully navigated the application process and secured admission to multiple top business schools. As a coach, I plan to share the tips and tricks necessary to thrive in the highly competitive business school admissions cycle. I achieved significant success in gaining admission to several M7 and Top 10 schools, including Kellogg, Yale, and Dartmouth Tuck. The areas in which I believe I can provide valuable coaching include: MBA Coaching: -Crafting a compelling and cohesive story (theme) for your application, even with an unconventional work background or sub-optimal GMAT/GRE score. -Assisting you in standing out to the admissions committee as an over-represented applicant. -Writing compelling and effective essays. -Creating a comprehensive application plan with a detailed breakdown of your journey schedule, starting six or more months before the application deadline. -Preparing for interviews through mock interviews. -Providing advice on selecting schools and recommenders.
