I’m Tyler—a Wharton MBA/Lauder MA grad who’s been on every side of the MBA journey. I didn’t just navigate the process for myself—I’ve spent years helping others do the same. As a Wharton Admissions Fellow, I led group interviews for dozens of applicants and saw up close what makes someone stand out versus getting lost in the shuffle. I also interviewed candidates for the Lauder dual degree program, giving me rare perspective on what it takes to shine in specialized and international programs. Since graduating, I’ve supported future MBAs across industries, geographies, and career paths—many of whom went on to schools like Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Wharton (including Lauder), Booth, Northwestern Kellogg (including MMM), Tuck, MIT Sloan, and Columbia Business School. I’ve partnered with admissions professionals from nearly every top 20 MBA program through internal mentorship and grad school prep efforts—leading events and applicant support initiatives that gave me a window into how these teams think and what truly drives their decisions. My approach? Direct, strategic, and no-nonsense. I’ll push you past surface-level “leadership” stories, help you uncover the narrative thread that makes your journey read as inevitable, and coach you to deliver interviews that land with authenticity and impact. The result isn’t just a strong application—it’s one that makes adcoms stop scrolling and say: we need this person in the class.
