MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Standing out in competitive business school applications is all about how you tell your story. As a former strategic communications consultant at the Brunswick Group, an experienced Yale alumni admissions interviewer, and a successful pivoter, I can help you craft a narrative that resonates with admissions committees while staying true to who you are. I was admitted to 6 MBA programs with over $700K in total merit-based scholarships offered, so I've navigated this process myself — and I know what works. Whether it's sharpening your essays, refining your resume, or preparing you for interviews, I bring the same skills I used to media prep C-suite executives to help you approach admissions with clarity and confidence. I also believe the admissions process is bigger than admissions - it's a time to reflect on your personal and professional goals. Learning how to tell your story so far can help you write the next chapter. Here's how I can help: -Identifying target programs -Comprehensive resume review -Essay brainstorming and "story mining" -Crafting clear and compelling essays -Recommender selection advice -Elevator pitch -Mock interviews and tough Q&A

Hi there! Welcome to my profile and congratulations on embarking on your MBA journey! I was in your shoes not too long ago and was interviewed/accepted at all 6 of the schools I applied to (Stanford GSB, Harvard Business School, UPenn Wharton, Northwestern Kellogg, Yale SOM, and UVA Darden) with several substantial & full-tuition scholarships. When I started this process, I was extremely nervous as I felt like a very overrepresented applicant (Indian male engineer applying out of consulting). Since then, I have found a passion for helping others craft a unique and compelling story to help them get into the school of their dreams. I also have experience with career coaching, GRE prep, consulting recruiting, and developing a strong personal brand. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey :)

I've helped quite a few friends land spots at dream schools like Booth and Harvard Kennedy School. As someone who got into Columbia and Wharton (and chose Wharton) for my MBA, I really get what makes admissions tick. I absolutely love working with applicants to shape their unique stories, snag stellar recommendation letters, and nail those nerve-wracking interviews. It's awesome seeing people transform their ambitions into acceptance letters! Having been in your shoes recently, I know exactly what it takes to stand out in a crazy-competitive pool. Whether you're just starting to think about b-school or ready to hit submit, I'd love to help you craft an application that turns heads at top programs.

I have a wealth of experience in the graduate management education sector and a global industry network. I have worked in higher education for almost 10 years. Most recently I was Director of Admissions at Imperial College Business School, and prior to that I was Head of MBA Recruitment and Admissions at Cambridge Judge Business School. I’ve read countless applications, interviewed hundreds of candidates and chaired many Admissions Committee meetings. I know what makes a candidate stand out in the application process, and common mistakes to avoid.  I know how daunting it can feel to start your MBA journey, and I want to use my knowledge and experience to help you navigate the application process with confidence, empowering you to submit your best MBA application.

MBA from Chicago Booth. I've spent my career at the intersection of strategy and operations — leading GTM strategy at Yext, driving Rokt's $325M Series E to a ~$2B valuation, and running cross-functional strategy and ops as Chief of Staff at Flex. Currently heading up GTM Operations at TLDR Media, where I own revenue operations, pricing strategy, and commercial systems end-to-end. On the coaching side, I've placed candidates into Chicago Booth (5+, including two with scholarships), Harvard Business School, and Stanford GSB — and successfully guided one applicant from a Booth rejection to a Berkeley Haas acceptance. I spent 5 years on the Chicago Booth Admissions Committee, which gives me a direct lens into how top programs evaluate candidates. I was also co-chair of the Booth Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Club and a TA for Commercializing Innovation and Lab to Launch. If you're targeting M7 or top MBA programs and want honest, specific guidance on positioning, essays, and fit — I've been on both sides of the table.

I was accepted to all 3 programs I applied: Harvard Business School, Wharton, and Columbia Business School. I attended Brown University for my undergrad where I studied Economics and Urban Studies.
