MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA student at NYU Stern School of Business, and having been admitted to all of the business schools I applied to, including Columbia Business School, Duke's Fuqua School of Business, and UVA's Darden School of Business, I have gained extensive experience writing admissions essays, perfecting resumes, and preparing for interviews. As I solely managed the entire process, applying during Round 3 and 4, I gained an expertise in exactly what business schools are looking for and how to craft your story to best showcase your unique strengths and ambitions. Let's connect to craft a compelling application strategy!

Through my own experiences and helping others with theirs, I've learned tactics that can help you identify the right school for you and craft your story as you apply and interview for business schools!

I'm Ryan, a former musician turned consultant turned Duke Fuqua MBA, now working in finance at State Street in Boston. My journey to business school was driven by a mission to leave communities better than I found them—through work in climate/sustainability, impact investing, and international development. As the first in my family and network to pursue an MBA, I had to navigate the application process largely on my own. Now, I help others avoid the guesswork. Since graduating, I've worked with a dozen prospective students on every stage of the MBA journey—crafting applications, preparing for interviews, and choosing between top programs like Duke, Columbia, MIT, Cornell, and UVA. My insights have even been featured by Fuqua in their student blog: Read more here (https://blogs.fuqua.duke.edu/duke-mba/2024/03/21/ryan-vanslyke/knowing-fuqua-was-the-right-fit-for-my-mba). If you're looking for guidance from someone who's been in your shoes, let’s connect—I’d love to help you get into the school of your dreams!

I recently completed by MBA at Harvard Business School. I started my career in banking, and spent a few years prior to school at growth stage startups doing finance, strategy, and operations. During business school, I explored and worked with early stage startups, and now I work as an early stage health tech investor. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I have extensive interviewing experience from throughout my professional career, including MBA admissions interviews, MBB consulting interviews, and behavioral interviews in a variety of forms. I have also given countless mock interviews and have experience giving very detailed, nuanced feedback and tips to help candidates find immediate growth opportunities. I graduated from Chicago Booth's Full Time MBA program in 2018. I was accepted into multiple top tier MBA schools, received significant scholarships to all schools ($275K in total, including the prestigious Siebel Scholarship), and achieved a 760 on the GMAT. While at Booth, I was a Booth Admissions Fellow and conducted over 30 admission interviews for the full time program, including for the Booth Scholars program (deferred admission for undergrad students). Additionally, once accepted, I advised colleagues and friends on the MBA process from school selection to applications to interviews.

As a Harvard MBA, former McKinsey consultant, and Navy veteran, I bring a practical, results-driven approach to MBA coaching. I’ve sat on both sides of the admissions table and helped clients craft stories that resonate with top-tier programs by connecting their personal “why” to their professional “how.” My coaching blends strategic clarity with empathy — I help candidates identify their authentic differentiators, structure compelling essays, and prepare with confidence for interviews. Whether you’re pivoting careers, chasing a top-10 admit, or refining your personal narrative, I’ll help you think and communicate like a future leader from day one.
