I am a full-time MBA student at The Wharton School with recent experience navigating the admissions process. I have coached dozens of hopefuls (officially and unofficially) to success at HSW. For those interested in earning a JD in addition to the MBA, I can also speak to the pros and cons (and admissions process) as a current JD/MBA candidate.

Welcome to my profile! As a current MBA candidate at Harvard Business School and a graduate of NYU with a strong academic record (honors), I bring a unique perspective to the MBA admissions process. My professional journey includes significant experience in investment and strategy roles at Algebra Ventures and Alvarez & Marsal, where I honed my analytical and strategic thinking skills. I've spent considerable amount of time planning and strategizing for my MBA applications, and got accepted to 3 of the top 10 MBA programs (Harvard, Columbia, and London Business School). Coming from a unique background, I can really help applicants from underrepresented countries and backgrounds build a unique profile that truly sets them apart.

Hey! I'm Kusha, an incoming Chicago Booth MBA (Class of 2028) and Life Sciences technology consultant. I navigated the MBA admissions process on an incredibly tight timeline and came out with 4 acceptances to top programs and over $250K in total scholarship offers. I did it all without MBB, Big Tech, or bulge bracket on my resume. Before Booth, I built my career in Life Sciences consulting at a boutique firm. I know what it's like to apply to top business schools without household-name companies backing you, and I know how to make your background a strength, not a liability. Where I can help: - Application strategy, from school selection to crafting your story - Essay Reviews - Scholarship Negotiation and Financial Aid Strategy - Interview Prep with honest, constructive feedback - Support for Late-Starting Applicants who need to move fast I went through this recently and remember exactly what it feels like. I'm here to be a straight-talking, supportive partner who helps you put your best application forward and save some money along the way. Let's get started!

After spending six years as a software engineer in the Bay Area, I decided to take on the challenge of applying to MBA programs—which turned out to be quite the adventure (so much so that I did it twice!). With my DIY approach to life, I handled most of the application process on my own. A big thanks to the awesome Leland coaches who helped me nail the interviews, leading to acceptances from three out of my four top-choice schools. Now, I'm enjoying my time pursuing an MBA at Harvard Business School. Along the way, I've picked up more insights about the program than I ever expected. I realized I love sharing what I've learned and helping others on their own paths. That's why I joined Leland. I'm here to share tips, stories, and guidance to make your MBA application journey a bit smoother—and maybe even a bit fun. If you're gearing up for your own MBA adventure, let's chat and see how I can help!

I went through the MBA admissions process at Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, earning admission to all three despite having less work experience than the typical candidate. That experience taught me how to position a nontraditional profile, craft a compelling and cohesive narrative, and stand out in both written applications and interviews. I now help applicants translate their experiences into clear, differentiated stories and prepare strategically for interviews so they can show up with confidence and authenticity.
