Stanford GSB & Oxford, both on scholarship. I help int'l applicants get in!
I applied to Stanford GSB and Oxford from Turkey, with a path that didn't fit any template: government work in Rwanda and Ethiopia and early-stage venture in Turkey. I got into both on scholarships. What worked wasn't a polished résumé. It was knowing which story to tell and how to tell it to a reader who has three minutes and a stack of three hundred. That's what I help with. For years friends have sent me their essays and asked me to run mock interviews, and I've spent hundreds of hours reading drafts, finding the thread, cutting what doesn't matter. Most of them got in. I'm now doing it properly, with a small number of applicants each cycle. I'm especially good with international candidates, because I was one: the questions about how much to explain, how to frame a non-Western path, how to sound like yourself in a second language. I'm direct and you'll hear what's working and what isn't from me. If you have a draft, or a blank page and a deadline, send me a message.
