Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at The Wharton School, I bring a firsthand, insider perspective to the MBA admissions process, having successfully navigated it myself. I was admitted to and offered scholarships by several top business schools, including Columbia Business School, Kellogg, and Tuck, giving me a broad view into what different programs value and how strong applications stand out. After business school, I will be pivoting into real estate investment banking at a bulge bracket bank. Professionally, my background spans finance, law, and strategy. I have worked as a Portfolio Manager and Strategist at the real estate fund AGW Partners, as well as in various roles at the international law firm, Kobre & Kim. I also bring many years of mentorship experience through America Needs You and Big Brothers Big Sisters, helping students identify their strengths, build confidence, and translate their experiences into compelling narratives. I am especially passionate about working with candidates from non-traditional backgrounds, including those looking to pivot from fields like law or other professional services into business. Whether you need support with essays, interviews, or overall application strategy, I aim to provide thoughtful, practical guidance that helps you present your story clearly and authentically. I would love to contribute my firsthand experience and help you shine in the application process.

I'm Maryam, an MBA candidate at Wharton (Class of 2026), where I received a merit scholarship. I will be working at BCG in San Francisco after school. Before Wharton, I spent years at LinkedIn and Accenture sitting at the intersection of business strategy and technology, and developing a real conviction that we can get anything we want in this life as long as we have the right people beside us. That belief brings me to coaching! The MBA application process is deeply personal, and the best applications don't just list achievements, they reveal the unique person behind them. I know this process from the inside: what Wharton looks for, how to frame a non-linear story, and how to turn your specific background into a compelling case for why you, now. Whether you're building your school list, thinking about your essays, or preparing for interviews, I'll help you find the through-line in your story and tell it with clarity and confidence. For essays specifically, you are welcome to explore my general writing on my Substack: https://substack.com/@maryamaram

Annie is an experienced and passionate coach who uses the power of storytelling to inspire humanity and empower individual growth. She went through the deferred admissions process last year, and successfully crafted a strategic & holistic narrative despite having a sub-par GMAT score, received interviews with Stanford GSB, UPenn Wharton, and Chicago Booth programs, and received letters of recommendation from highly influential people such as the business school dean, a Partner at a Big 4 firm, and world-class faculty. Now, as a Michigan Ross graduate and a deferred admit to the University of Chicago Booth Scholars Program, she hopes to offer comprehensive assistance to students who are looking to apply for deferred MBAs. At the University of Michigan, Annie served as an academic writing coach for underresourced first-years hoping to transfer into the competitive Michigan Ross business school, so she has reviewed over 20 application essays from diverse students, and deeply understands what top business programs are looking for in their candidates. As a first-generation college student, Annie has always highly valued education and conducts thorough research to further her abilities. She is seeking not just coachees, but mentees, who come from underrepresented backgrounds to provide complete resource guides, top-secret tips to the application process, and a thorough review and analysis of their application essays.
