MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

As the former Associate Director of Admissions at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Skyler has a deep understanding of what it takes to stand out in a competitive applicant pool. During his time at UofC, he also oversaw the admissions process for the highly selective Civic Scholars Program, meaning he also has a unique expertise in advising non-traditional candidates. Skyler's coaching has helped candidates gain acceptance to every M7 business school, including Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton. With a personalized approach, he ensures each client strategically positions their unique strengths and goals to maximize their chances of success. Whether you are targeting top-tier programs or need guidance on crafting a compelling narrative, Skyler’s insider perspective and proven results make him an invaluable partner in your MBA journey.

Non-traditional applicant with a variety of different career experiences who received acceptances from all top programs.

As a Wharton MBA graduate who came from a non-traditional background and a non-target undergraduate school, I know what it takes to break into top MBA programs without the typical resume. I didn’t have a brand-name employer or Ivy League degree—and I still earned a spot at one of the world’s most competitive business schools. That journey taught me how to craft a powerful narrative, highlight unconventional strengths, and position unique experiences as assets. I’ve also coached dozens of high school students through college essays, helping them tell authentic, compelling stories that get results. I bring that same insight, structure, and empathy to MBA applicants—especially those who don’t fit the traditional mold but have so much to offer.

Every person is unique, and I want to help you tell your story. My MBA clients have been admitted to Wharton (including Lauder), NYU, Berkeley, Columbia, Kellogg and more. As a former Kearney consultant and Wharton/Lauder admissions insider, I help candidates cut through the noise and present their authentic selves—because the best business leaders aren’t carbon copies. My approach blends 7+ years of management consulting rigor with hands-on recruiting and admissions experience. At Kearney, I led teams through complex transformations while honing my talent-spotting skills through recruiting efforts (turns out identifying great candidates isn’t so different from building high-performing consulting teams). And as a Wharton Admissions Fellow, I learned what really makes applications click (hint: it’s not just GMAT scores or fancy job titles). I strongly believe that diverse perspectives fuel innovation—a principle I now bring to my advisory work. As a Wharton Admissions Fellow and Lauder interviewer, I saw firsthand how powerful storytelling can bridge gaps in representation. I’m particularly passionate about helping underrepresented candidates navigate the MBA maze. Whether you’re switching industries, coming from a non-traditional background, or just don’t see yourself in those glossy MBA brochures, I’ll help you translate your unique experience into a compelling story. I am well-versed in global cultural immersion: I hold an MBA from Wharton and a Master of Arts in International Studies from Lauder, as well as Bachelor of Arts degrees in Communications and French from the University of Pennsylvania. Fluent in English, Mandarin, and French, I’ve seen how languages and identities shape leadership, and thus can help candidates turn their unique experiences into competitive advantages. Business schools need leaders who reflect the world—and I’m here to help you prove you belong in the room.

I recently completed by MBA at Harvard Business School. I started my career in banking, and spent a few years prior to school at growth stage startups doing finance, strategy, and operations. During business school, I explored and worked with early stage startups, and now I work as an early stage health tech investor. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I am in my first year at Kellogg and can teach you the tricks that admissions committees are looking for. I will help you with your essays and resume, prep you for your interviews, and discuss your overall strategy and recommendations. I can also help you think about how you can position yourself for scholarships, and which you will be eligible for.

I work with MBA applicants who want a thoughtful partner in what can otherwise feel like a noisy, high-pressure process. Over the last few years, I’ve supported multiple candidates through their MBA applications by helping them slow down, make sense of their stories, and make choices that truly fit who they are and where they want to go. My role is less about “polishing” and more about helping people see their own journeys clearly and articulate them with confidence. I spent five years at Accenture Strategy as a management consultant, working across industries and functions. That experience shaped how I listen, ask questions, and adapt to people from very different professional and cultural backgrounds. Since then, I’ve worked closely with startups and venture capital firms, and recently co-founded Day 2 Studios, where we partner with early-stage founders on product and strategy. Being close to builders and decision-makers has kept me grounded in how careers actually evolve, not just how they look on paper. As a coach, I focus on clarity, honesty, and long-term alignment. I help applicants think through which schools make sense for them, what their applications should really say, and how to show up authentically in essays and interviews. My goal is for candidates to walk away not just with stronger applications, but with a clearer understanding of themselves and their next chapter.
