One-Hour MBA Application Custom AMA
An affordable, customized one-hour "ask me anything" (AMA) session to answer all of your burning questions about MBA admissions and get you un-stuck. Sometimes you don't need full coaching, you just need some questions answered! This is also a great way to get acquainted with me and get an early sense of whether it makes sense for us to work together long-term. We can spend this hour however you'd like. You can send me basic info about you and your profile in advance (resume, any essay drafts, other context, etc.). Then, you'll spend ~15 minutes telling me about your background and MBA goals, and we'll spend ~45 minutes having an overall chat about your application strategy, answering questions you have about the process, etc. Questions might include: - What should my top priorities be *right now* to set myself up for success in the MBA admissions process? - What are the obvious strengths and weaknesses of my profile that I should build my strategy around? - What are the different components of an MBA application, and which should I expect to spend the most time on? - Who should I ask to be my recommenders? - .... and anything else on your mind?
What's included
- Clear answers to your burning questions about MBA admissions, tailored to your unique situation
