What's included
I love my job because I love working with bright, motivated clients from around the world. After attending graduate school myself, working in admissions at two different universities, and helping hundreds of clients pursue their own goals, I have a good sense of what works and what doesn't. Overall, the schools expect you to be thoughtful and present a great deal of substance in a small amount of space. Your essays, resume, and other written responses can really help you get admitted. Don’t worry, though. I will help you all along the way!
- Selection of target programs. Professional resume, statement of purpose and/or essays, short answers, and other written work.
- Confidence that the application represents your strengths well and is ready to submit.

UChicago Alum & Berkeley Haas AdCom | Admissions Expert for 15+ Years
I grew up in Southern California where I attended Claremont McKenna College and graduated with honors in literature. While in grad school at the University of Chicago, I refined my analytical skills and taught writing to UChicago undergrads. I also evaluated applications for the Admissions Committee at the business school (now known as Chicago Booth). Once I started working in admissions, I knew I no longer wanted to become an academic. I returned to California and became the Associate Director of MBA Admissions for UC Berkeley Haas School of Business. I made thousands of admissions decisions for both full- and part-time MBA programs and met a wide range of candidates at recruiting events and admits receptions. Eventually, I decided to take a different approach to the field. I knew that many prospective applicants had questions about the MBA admissions process. In 2008 I became an MBA admissions consultant for applicants to top US and European business schools. Five years later I started Admissions Unlimited.
