MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

As a Wharton MBA and recipient of multiple M7 admits, I understand what it takes to craft a compelling application and stand out in the world’s most competitive business school admissions process. My own MBA journey gave me firsthand insight into what top programs truly value—and I’ve since dedicated myself to helping others achieve similar success.

I use a proven playbook that breaks down the application process and empowers you to tell your story with clarity, authenticity, and impact. Whether you’re targeting a specific dream school or looking to maximize your admissions outcomes, I offer highly personalized, results-driven guidance. Let’s work together to unlock your potential and secure your place at a top MBA program.

Hi there! I'm Johnny, and I'm thrilled to support you on your MBA journey. I was fortunate to be admitted to Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, and Harvard Kennedy School, and I previously worked at McKinsey & Company. But more than the names on my résumé, what sets me apart as a coach is how personally I understand the grit, self-doubt, and strategy it takes to craft a standout application. As a first-generation college graduate, I know how overwhelming this process can be—and I’m here to help you navigate it with confidence, clarity, and heart. Whether you're building your story from scratch or polishing your final draft, I’ll meet you where you are and help you find your voice, tell your truth, and maximize your chances at the schools of your dreams.

Welcome to my profile! As a Harvard Business School MBA graduate, I share what works well and what does not!

• Attended Stanford Graduate School of business for MBA (plus Dartmouth College for undergrad) • Competitively selected for GSB's two most storytelling-intensive programs (View From The Top and LOWkey Notes) • 10+ years professional storytelling as military PR specialist, AI communications startup CRO, and periodicals journalist • 10+ years in admissions counseling, with volunteer work as a Regional Manager for Dartmouth alumni interviews • 10+ years of leadership and mentorship as a Marine Corps Officer and collegiate varsity athletics captain

I really enjoyed the MBA admissions process and want to help guide candidates through a fulfilling process of deep introspection.

As a Harvard Business School MBA graduate, I know how transformational an MBA program can be for one's career. I also know how incredibly stressful and daunting the application process can be! Getting into a premier MBA program is not just about getting good scores and rec letters. In today's competitive environment, it means crafting a compelling story to stand out among a very crowded and competitive field. The key question is not why you need the MBA program, but why does the MBA program need YOU? I have worked with dozens of individuals to help build their stories and answer that very question. From brainstorming the overall "hook" of the application to writing detailed recommendation letters, I have a very hands-on approach that includes multiple rounds of review, design, and iteration to build a competitive application that gives you the best chance at the MBA program of your dreams. Past success stories including admissions to HBS, Wharton, MIT, and Kellogg. Whether it be coming from a non-traditional career background or just sharpening your application story, I look forward to helping you achieve your MBA goals!

Hot take: Getting into a business school is easier than you think, but you can’t do it alone. I've coached 100+ applicants, and more importantly, I think coaching should be fun and stress-free. Let’s chat!

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 have extensive interviewing experience from throughout my professional career, including MBA admissions interviews, MBB consulting interviews, and behavioral interviews in a variety of forms. I have also given countless mock interviews and have experience giving very detailed, nuanced feedback and tips to help candidates find immediate growth opportunities. I graduated from Chicago Booth's Full Time MBA program in 2018. I was accepted into multiple top tier MBA schools, received significant scholarships to all schools ($275K in total, including the prestigious Siebel Scholarship), and achieved a 760 on the GMAT. While at Booth, I was a Booth Admissions Fellow and conducted over 30 admission interviews for the full time program, including for the Booth Scholars program (deferred admission for undergrad students). Additionally, once accepted, I advised colleagues and friends on the MBA process from school selection to applications to interviews.
