HBS 2+2 & Stanford GSB Deferred Admit | Ex-BCG | Harvard, Oxford
I applied to HBS and Stanford GSB through their deferred MBA programs and was admitted to both (~5 people worldwide; <1%). Before I applied, I spoke to 100+ successful MBA applicants and used their advice for my applications. Happy to pass on the knowledge. I am new to formal coaching, but have mentored 5 individuals through the entire application process. All of them have got into Stanford GSB or Harvard Business School. I went through all these applications recently (2022-2024), so can provide relevant information for today's processes. I worked as a consultant at BCG for almost 2 years and recently left to building a healthcare startup. How I can help: ◆ Interviews: realistic HBS and GSB mock interviews with direct, specific feedback, plus help with the HBS post-interview reflection ◆ Essays: turning your experiences into a clear, memorable story, with structured feedback over a set number of drafts ◆ Strategy and school selection: how to position your profile, which schools and rounds to target, and how to explain your goals convincingly ◆ Resume: rewriting bullet points the way consultants do: concise, focused on impact, and easy to scan ◆ Deferred MBA applicants (HBS 2+2, GSB Deferred): I'll help you choose the right first job, frame your story as a college student and stand out in a pool of high achievers ◆ Ding analysis: an honest diagnosis of what held your application back and a concrete plan for your next round My style is structured, candid and efficient. Excited to work with you :)
