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.

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.

Welcome to my profile! I bring deep experience in MBA admissions, having previously served as the Assistant Director of Admissions at the Kellogg School of Management, where I helped shape recruitment strategies that elevated the quality and diversity of incoming classes. I currently continue to support Kellogg as an application evaluator, reviewing materials and interviewing candidates for both the Evening & Weekend and Full-Time MBA programs. In addition to my admissions background, I work in executive recruitment at Hunt Club. This dual perspective allows me to understand the full arc of the MBA journey—from what top programs seek in applicants to how graduates ultimately position themselves for high-impact leadership roles. Drawing on this combined expertise, I’ve coached more than 100 applicants on how to present the strongest possible version of their story. I specialize in essay development, overall application strategy, résumé refinement, and guidance on how to position yourself effectively—along with key do’s and don’ts that can make or break an application. If you’re looking to elevate your MBA application with expert, insider-informed support, I’d love to help you get there.

Welcome to my profile!

My journey has equipped me with the skills to guide MBA applicants through the intricate application process. Over the years, I've successfully coached 50+ individuals, helping them craft compelling narratives and ace their interviews. For the last 3 years, I have worked as a professional MBA admissions consultant with Sparrey Consulting Group, a leading MBA admissions consulting firm. Whether you need assistance with story development, essay editing, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you achieve your MBA dreams. Let's connect and strategize your path to success!

Feeling out of your league? I got into America's #1 business school despite having the lowest accepted GRE math score in years. I specialize in helping people from nontraditional professional backgrounds, like myself, apply to elite MBA programs. Prior to attending Stanford's GSB on a full merit scholarship (Knight Hennessy), I had only worked in international development and public service. I felt imposter syndrome about applying to business school: I had no idea what EBITDA was and hadn't used numbers in 10 years. Nonetheless, I made my application stand out because I have a knack for storytelling, branding, and communication. I'd love to help you do the same!

I've successfully coached ~10-20+ individuals, helping them craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths and experiences.

Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's connect and work together to achieve your MBA goals! I applied to only two business schools - Harvard Business School and Stanford Graduate School of Business - and was admitted to both schools coming from a more traditional background (investment banking and private equity). I have spent extensive time thinking through how to best position yourself early on in your career if you want to differentiate yourself for business school one day, and I am happy to support those who are both currently applying or thinking of applying in the future.

Hi, I am a recent graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA '25) who received admittance and over $750k+ in combined scholarship dollars to HBS, Wharton, Chicago Booth, Yale SOM, and Fuqua. During my time at HBS, I was the co-VP of Admissions for the LASO, working hand-in-hand with the HBS admissions team to foster events and outreach. I came to HBS with over 5+years of investment banking experience at Citi and spent my MBA summer as a consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

I am an MS Engineering and MBA student at Harvard and I work with applicants who want support on interview prep and essay editing. I care about helping people who may not feel represented in this process, especially those coming from nontraditional or underserved backgrounds. I know how overwhelming it can feel to figure out your story, so I work with you to iterate and refine it until you feel grounded and confident. My goal is to help you show up as your strongest and most authentic self and help you prepare for interview day at HBS, practice in a way that feels natural, and make sure your essays reflect who you really are.

Welcome to my profile! As a member of the HBS Class of 2028, with admissions and scholarship offers from multiple M7 and T15 programs, I bring a strategic and structured approach to MBA admissions coaching. Coming from a non-traditional STEM background, I’m especially well-positioned to help candidates who don’t fit the “traditional” MBA mold translate their unique experiences into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with admissions committees. My background in management consulting and client services has trained me to ask the right questions, uncover what truly differentiates your story, and communicate those ideas clearly - skills I apply directly to reviewing essays, resumes, and interview prep. Given my consulting background, I'm also highly mindful of working efficiently within your budget, accustomed to quick turnarounds on tight timelines, and flexible in customizing support to meet your specific needs. Having also personally tested nearly every major MBA prep resource (e.g., Applicant Lab, Forte MBA Launch, Target Test Prep, GMAT and GRE official materials, Magoosh, and others), I can offer candid guidance on which additional tools are actually worth your time and investment. My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and help get you to a point where you can submit strong applications that feel authentic, polished, and confident.
