MBA Admissions Coaches

Do you feel like it's impossible to stand out in a crowded field of applicants with similar qualifications? So did I. MBA Admissions are challenging. You are expected to not only show academic and career strength, but also tell a narrative that shows what you uniquely bring to the table. For applicants from overrepresented industries - consulting, investment banking, private equity, even tech - it's a major challenge. My strength as a coach is helping my clients find and articulate exactly what makes them special and to make those stories jump off the page. We can spend time talking through your life and career experiences, identifying common threads, brainstorming and editing essays, preparing reviewers, and/or doing mock interviews. My goal is for my clients to feel 100% confident that their applications authentically represent their experiences, background, interests, and goals, because your authentic self is differentiated.

Hey all! I'm offering EXTREMELY discounted coaching since I'm building up a client base again. I previously charged up to $200/hour so enjoy the discounts while they last! I was an extremely active coach back in 2022 on Leland and several other platforms before I started at McKinsey--feel free to check my reviews on Leland. I have extensive experience coaching across all aspects of MBA admissions: 1. I have helped 30+ students get into top MBA programs, including HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, etc. I also have experience helping several students get into top executive or non-traditional programs (Stanford MSx, Wharton EMBA, etc.). 2. I am a former professional writer, and I have helped all of students brainstorm, recraft, tune, and edit their essays. 3. I spent years tutoring standardized tests (GRE, GMAT, SAT). While I no longer offer tutoring services, I can help you develop a study plan and tackle weak points. 4. I am a professional resume reviewer for both MBA admissions and consulting applications.

I help candidates navigate the MBA journey end to end because I have personally gone through every stage of it and understand how tightly admissions decisions and post-MBA outcomes are linked. From GMAT strategy and school selection to regional trade-offs, cost-benefit analysis, scholarships, networking, interviews and final admit decisions, I have built and executed this process myself across US, European, and Indian business schools. I did not treat the MBA as a checkbox. I approached it as a strategic investment and designed my application and career plan accordingly. Since 2021, I have coached 18 candidates who have gone on to top-20 business schools. I work with clients to define their long-term career direction, shape a credible narrative and position them as candidates who know why they are pursuing an MBA and what they plan to do with it. This includes supporting professionals looking to change sector, function and region - A transition I successfully made myself during my MBA. Beyond admissions, I help clients prepare for post-MBA recruiting in consulting, leadership programs and big tech by aligning their MBA choices with realistic career outcomes. My goal is not just to help you get in, but to ensure the MBA works for you long after acceptance!

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School, I bring experience in management consulting and AI product management. I am passionate about helping candidates with their MBA applications, especially those with non-traditional backgrounds. I received coaching during my own application process, and it completely changed how I viewed my story. Coming from NGOs, academia, and geopolitical consulting, I initially worried my background didn't fit the MBA mold. Having a coach in my corner helped me realize that what felt like weaknesses were actually my biggest strengths. Outside of school, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and rooting for New York sports teams. I'd love to help you build a compelling application that gets you into your dream school!
