Satoshi’s MBA Qualifications

I graduated from Columbia Business School in 2020 as a Meyer Feldberg Distinguished Fellow, which covered my full tuition. My path there was unusual. I spent two years at Accenture, then eight months as a TechnoServe volunteer consultant in Eswatini, then two years running new country expansion for One Acre Fund in Zambia. I scored 770 on the GMAT, and the scholarship came from the story I told about why a consultant moved to rural Africa and what I wanted to do next. I know how that story was built because I built it. Since then I've coached applicants through Wall Street Tequila and other admissions firms, most of them international students and young professionals from China and Asia applying to M7 and top-15 US programs. I work on the whole application, but the essays are where I spend most of my time, because that's where a strong candidate usually loses the scholarship. My approach is to find the one thing in your background that an admissions reader will remember a week later, then build every essay and the interview around it. I speak Mandarin and English natively, so if you're a Chinese speaker I can work with you in either language and help you turn an accomplishment that impresses people at home into one that impresses a reader in New York. I'll also tell you plainly which schools are a reach and which are a fit, because applying to the wrong list costs more than any coaching fee.
