MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Greetings! I'm Alyssa, an MBA-MA graduate from The Wharton School (dual degree in International Studies with the Lauder Institute) and a former Manager at Bain & Company. I pride myself on having a strong background in both numbers and words—I graduated magna cum laude from Brown University with degrees in History and Economics, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. At Bain & Company, I spent several years working on strategic projects for Fortune 500 clients across a diverse set of industries, sharpening my analytical skills and working on high-stakes problem solving. In addition to my consulting experience, my academic journey at Wharton and the Lauder Institute has equipped me with a deep understanding of global business strategy, cross-cultural communication, and leadership. This combination of practical experience and rigorous academic training, in addition to my strength in writing, allows me to help MBA applicants from all walks of life develop authentic, compelling applications that truly showcase their strengths. My goal is to guide you with the same level of dedication and strategic insight that I brought to my own life and career decisions, and help you work towards your goals with confidence and clarity.

I'm an expert in interviewing, having interviewed hundreds of applicants between Amazon and management consulting, both of which are very challenging interview formats. I have reviewed and written a large number of MBA admissions essays and have been praised for my writing ability and command of language. I personally used my MBA experience to make the triple jump: Industry, function, and geography - and I'd be glad to coach you on doing that or other career decisions you're considering. I'm particularly passionate about helping American candidates apply to International MBA programs and helping international candidates feel prepared for US-based schools. My coaching philosophy is based on the following principles: 1) Your time is precious - we'll be efficient and I won't waste your time if I'm not providing value 2) Listen more than talk- I'll focus on what you need and won't monopolize our sessions with unrelated commentary 3) Drill down on targeted areas of focus - You're good at a lot of things; let's target any weak areas and drill those until you feel confident 4) Respect and genuine concern - I'll always be respectful and I bring sincere, singular attention to our calls Looking forward to working with folks.

As someone who was admitted to Booth, Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia, Haas, and NYU, I know firsthand how to craft a compelling MBA application that stands out. I’ve helped multiple applicants clarify their story, strengthen their essays, and position themselves for success—even when they thought they didn’t have the “perfect” background. I bring a mix of private equity and startup experience, a deep understanding of what top business schools are looking for, and a no-fluff coaching style that gets results. Whether you're figuring out your career narrative or polishing your final drafts, I’ll meet you where you are and help you hit submit with confidence.

Coming from a non-target undergraduate institution and non-target work place I secured admission at MIT and Harvard and know how difficult it is to do so. I can help you tell your story and really stand out. I make things accessible and break them down into bite sized goals to help you put your best foot forward. While in my MBA program I worked at Bridgewater Associates and then had offers from Goldman Sachs TMT SF and Morgan Stanley Tech Investment banking groups. I also won the P.D. Soros Fellowship for New Americans (1% acceptance rate, $90,000) and the Zuckerman Fellowship (full ride at Harvard + Stanford), which helped fund a large part of my graduate degree.

My clients have gotten into top business schools such as Harvard (HBS), Berkeley (Haas), and MIT (Sloan). I am a Stanford GSB graduate and was accepted to every business school I applied to. I'm a former engineer turned PM; so I understand the non-traditional applicant's path.

Chicago Booth 2019 grad & multi-scholarship recipient; interviewed applicants as alumna (30+ interviewers). Able to support with application prep, interview mocks and practice, essay feedback, waitlist strategy, or reapplicant strategies.

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA graduate of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management and a current 4th year medical student, I bring a healthcare-centric perspective to the MBA admissions process. Additionally, I'm only a few months removed from being a student admissions interviewer at Kellogg and also spent a year on the admissions committee at my medical school. Thus, I have useful experience on both sides of the admissions process. My goal is to be the go-to coach for those who want to use an MBA to work in the vast world of healthcare. Describing healthcare experience in interviews and essays can be challenging, as it requires translating complex industry knowledge into language that resonates with a broad audience, including MBA admissions committees. I'm confident I can help you do just that. I've reviewed dozens of MBA applications and coached many healthcare-focused candidates. I feel well-prepared to help you leverage your medical background—or if career switching, to express your interest in healthcare—to stand out in your MBA applications. Let's work together to make your application truly exceptional—reach out to get started!

Hello and welcome! I hold dual Master’s degrees from the University of Oxford—an MBA and a Master’s in Public Policy—and a First Class Honours degree in Economics from the University of Cape Town. My academic and professional journey, including roles at McKinsey & Company and KPMG, has given me a deep understanding of competitive admissions processes and how to position candidates for success. Having personally navigated the demands of MBA applications (including how to achieve a top GMAT score) and co-founded a student chapter of Effective Altruism, I know how to craft compelling narratives that highlight unique strengths. Whether you’re refining your personal statement or building a targeted admissions strategy, I’m here to provide tailored guidance and actionable advice to help you achieve your MBA goals.

I am an MBA from University of Berkeley - Haas school of Business. This is one of the toughest schools to get into for MBA and i would love to share my experiences with potential applicants and help them in their journey
