Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from The Wharton School and extensive experience in finance, energy, and sustainability, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. I have successfully coached clients through the MBA admissions process, leveraging my background at Deloitte, passion for sustainability, and experience as an MBA applicant who did not come from a Top 50 (barely top 100) undergrads or a unique profession/background. My approach is tailored to each individual, focusing on application strategy, essay refinement, and interview preparation. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that stands out. Reach out to get started!

As an accepted candidate to the University of Chicago's prestigious deferred MBA program, I bring firsthand experience and insights into the application and interview process. My journey involved extensive preparation and coaching, through which I gained a deep understanding of what the admissions committee values. I have had direct conversations with several members of the interview and admissions committee, including the director of admissions, providing me with unique perspectives on what makes a successful application. With this comprehensive background, I am well-equipped to guide and mentor others through the process, helping them to craft compelling applications, prepare for interviews, and ultimately achieve their goal of being admitted to this esteemed program.

Hi, I’m Avi! I grew up in Singapore, graduated from NYU Stern (summa cum laude), and now work as a BCG consultant. I’m passionate about helping applicants tell authentic, compelling stories. I was admitted to Wharton, Kellogg, and MIT Sloan with scholarships and know what top schools are really looking for in their admissions processes. I have successfully coached individuals on deferred and full-time MBA admissions - whether you need help with application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Feel free to reach out for an intro call - I look forward to working together to make your MBA aspirations a reality!

Why me? - Insider Admissions Expertise: As a former member of Kellogg's student admissions committee, I have firsthand insights into what top MBA programs look for, from evaluation criteria to subtle preferences. - Cross-Cultural Storytelling: With years of living and working in the U.S., I help applicants craft authentic compelling narratives that resonate with American admissions audiences - Proven Results: Having mentored at several leading admissions consultancies, I've guided 50+ candidates to offers from top MBA programs, including HBS and GSB.

I went through the MBA admissions process myself and won a place at London Business School as a Merit Scholar — so I know what a competitive application actually looks like from the inside, not in theory. Seven years at Citi before that gave me the kind of finance and leadership track record that admissions committees look for, and I understand exactly how to position one. But my real focus is the part most applicants get wrong: the "why." Schools can spot a generic story instantly. I help you build an essay-and-interview narrative that's sharp, authentic, and impossible to confuse with anyone else's — the difference between a strong profile and an admit.

Welcome to my profile! As a MBA candidate at Stanford Graduate School of Business, I bring firsthand experience from the world of finance, having worked as a Private Equity Associate at The Carlyle Group and an Investment Banking Analyst at Morgan Stanley. My journey through these competitive fields has equipped me with the insights and strategies needed to craft standout MBA applications. I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA students navigate the admissions process, leveraging my background in business administration and economics from UC Berkeley. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and make your MBA dreams a reality!

I got into both Stanford GSB and Harvard Business School with a profile that didn't fit the standard mold: an international upbringing, a non-linear career, and no obvious "hook" on paper. What got me in was learning how to tell a coherent, honest story about who I am and where I'm going. That process, figuring out how to position yourself authentically, is exactly what I help clients work through. Since business school, I've informally coached multiple candidates through the MBA application process, several of whom have been admitted to top programs. I focus on the things that actually move the needle: sharpening your "why MBA, why now" narrative, making your essays specific enough to be memorable, and helping you figure out what's genuinely distinctive about your path (even if it doesn't feel that way to you yet). If you've been staring at a blank essay doc wondering how to make your story land, that's exactly where I do my best work.

Admitted to top 4 MBA programs (Stanford, HBS, Wharton and UChicago). I can help you craft an interesting story; you're much more worth than your GMAT score!
