MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA graduate from Chicago Booth and a former member of their admissions committee, I have a deep understanding of what top business schools are looking for in applicants. I've successfully guided 12+ candidates into leading MBA programs, specializing in helping those from non-traditional backgrounds, such as engineering and sustainability, craft compelling narratives. My own journey from engineering to a sustainability strategist through an MBA equips me with the insights to help you navigate school selection, essays, and interviews with a strategic approach. Whether you're aiming to pivot careers or enhance your current path, I'm here to help you stand out and achieve your goals. Let's connect and start your journey to an elite MBA program!

Hello! I am a current MBA candidate at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. I offer a fresh perspective on the MBA application process – I recently underwent the MBA application journey and found success with multiple M7 acceptances while coming from a traditional, overrepresented applicant background. Regardless of an applicant’s hard stats, a successful MBA application requires a compelling story, powerful essays, and a polished resume, crafted via rigorous introspection of one’s experiences, strengths, and gaps. Whether it’s helping you narrow down a list of schools, brainstorming around your story, strategizing/reviewing essays and your resume, or helping prep for interviews, I’m here to provide end-to-end guidance throughout your application journey to help you stand out from the crowd.

Hi there! My name is George Lankas, Stanford GSB class of 2027. I was fortunate enough to receive acceptances to 3 top MBA programs (GSB, Wharton, and Tuck). I ran a tutoring company as a student at Georgetown University, where I helped classmates ace Econ classes and get past writer’s block on essay. I also offer career coaching – after transitioning from an IB oriented role to client facing Private Banking, I know how tricky the pivot can be! I’m passionate about helping people get into their dream MBA program or get their dream job – I want to be a partner and asset throughout your process to ensure you can make your goals become a reality.

Having successfully navigated the rigorous admissions processes to receive interviews at Stanford, Harvard, and Wharton, I bring firsthand insights and proven strategies to help you achieve your MBA goals. Working with candidates, I've developed targeted techniques to craft compelling applications, ace interviews, and showcase unique strengths and experiences. As your MBA coach, I want to develop a relationship with you to provide personalized guidance, leveraging my insider knowledge to ensure your application stands out. Whether you aim for a specific school or a range of top programs, my tailored approach will help maximize your chances of success.

I have in depth experience in coaching and mentoring, specifically in the MBA admissions space. I've gone through the process myself with huge success, I've coached prospective students through private coaching, as part of corporate coaching programs, and in support of the HBS admissions process. The reason I think I stand out and have found success as a coach is because I work hard to gain a true understanding of the applicant; to understand their motivations, values, drivers, strengths, and weaknesses. All of that is critical to craft a strong application for elite schools, but maybe more importantly it is critical to provide you the best support that I can. I will be better suited tailor my coaching to your needs, ensure you stay motivated and on track throughout the process, and unlock important insights to make your application stand out.

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!
