MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I've helped over 1000 applicants from around the world get into Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, INSEAD, and every other top program you can name. I’m Ellin Lolis, founder of Ellin Lolis Consulting, a global MBA admissions firm with a 98.9% success rate. I’ve spent the last 10+ years guiding applicants with a proven, step-by-step methodology that simplifies the process and maximizes results. As a certified career coach and award-winning writer, my approach helps you craft a powerful personal brand, connect your story and values to each program, and submit applications that actually get you in. Clients often say I treat their application like my own. That’s because I do. I bring the same level of strategic precision and emotional support to every engagement, pushing you to deliver your best work while helping you stay grounded and confident along the way. I've collaborated with a range of different clients from every continent, including clients with low GMAT scores, 40+, traditional IB/MBB applicants, and even non-traditional applicants like nuclear scientists and sports journalists. For each, I helped them find their unique voice that helped them stand out in the crowded admissions space. If you’re aiming high and want a coach with the track record, tools, and heart to get you there, I’d love to work with you.

I am a Berkeley Haas MBA candidate, the founder of MBA to Commas, and one of the few coaches on this platform who is actively inside a top MBA program right now. I have coached over 400 MBA students, completed 10 customized mentorship packages with a 100% admit rate across all clients, and previously worked as a coach with an early admit program. I built MBA to Commas from the ground up as a boutique admissions consulting firm specifically for first-generation applicants, career changers, and ambitious professionals who do not have a built-in network guiding them through the process. I know what admissions committees at elite programs are looking for because I have helped hundreds of people get in and I am living it myself at Haas right now. Beyond admissions, I am a licensed California realtor with over $1.1 million in transactions, an Airbnb Superhost, and a content creator with 94,000 followers and over 300 million views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. I have worked with brands including Netflix, Verizon, and Perplexity AI. I bring that same strategic, results-driven mindset to every client I work with. If you have a non-traditional background, a story that does not fit neatly into a template, or an application you are not sure how to position, I am the coach you want. My track record speaks for itself and I am just getting started.

As a graduate from top MBA program UCLA Anderson, I know what it takes to put together a successful application for MBA programs. I understand the entire process understanding the hardship and struggles it takes. As a coach, I provide end to end support for the entire process, building my clients confidence throughout the process so that they start their MBA program feeling ready. I'm particularly skilled at helping others craft, embrace, and communicate their story ensuring that all written deliverables of an MBA application come together to make my clients stand out. Since my launch I've helped clients get admitted to their dream programs (with scholarship offers), including top MBA programs like Haas, Ross, Kellogg, Fuqua, Anderson, INSEAD, and Marshall.
