About
Syracuse was last on my college application list. But through my curious and lively nature, I turned what felt like rejection into the most transformative period of my life. Ultimately, I was accepted as 1 of ~15 students into Yale's Silver Scholar program for a deferred MBA. But winners lose more than losers. I've been rejected by more banks, schools, and firms than it would be wise to admit on this platform (even falling short after a final-round interview at McKinsey). But if you're like me, you won't let a rejection deter you. I'm purposeful, diligent, and willing to ask obvious questions. I prioritize clarity, conciseness, and personability when it comes to applications, interviews, and presenting yourself to the world. My ultimate goal is to build companies. I've started an Excel automation software product and have continued building startups at Yale SOM. I'm a runner. I like learning. And I like those who aim high.

Ronan’s MBA Qualifications
Welcome to my profile! As a Silver Scholar at Yale School of Management (<5% acceptance rate), I bring a strong academic foundation from the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a double major in finance and accounting. My experience includes working as a Private Equity Summer Analyst at Oxford Capital Group and a Consulting Intern at RSM US, where I honed my skills in financial modeling, due diligence, and strategic analysis. I have a passion for mentoring and have been actively involved in coaching first-generation students through financial literacy as the Lead Tutor at First Generation Investors. Although I am new to formal MBA coaching, my diverse background and commitment to helping others succeed make me a valuable resource for those looking to navigate the MBA admissions process. Let's connect and strategize on how to make your application stand out!

Why do I coach?
I've had mentors and coaches since my travel basketball and cross-country days, and now rely heavily on professional mentors to advise, support, and push me. There is something deeply gratifying about guiding others. I believe (and studies have shown) that humans are wired this way. I help friends think through resumes, big career decisions, and whether to take a risk. I'm still figuring it out, too. I'm not here to give you the "right answer," I'm here to help you see what you're actually capable of when someone supports you.
