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.
