MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I'm Maryam, an MBA candidate at Wharton (Class of 2026), where I received a merit scholarship. I will be working at BCG in San Francisco after school. Before Wharton, I spent years at LinkedIn and Accenture sitting at the intersection of business strategy and technology, and developing a real conviction that we can get anything we want in this life as long as we have the right people beside us. That belief brings me to coaching! The MBA application process is deeply personal, and the best applications don't just list achievements, they reveal the unique person behind them. I know this process from the inside: what Wharton looks for, how to frame a non-linear story, and how to turn your specific background into a compelling case for why you, now. Whether you're building your school list, thinking about your essays, or preparing for interviews, I'll help you find the through-line in your story and tell it with clarity and confidence. For essays specifically, you are welcome to explore my general writing on my Substack: https://substack.com/@maryamaram

Hey there! I'm Katie—I earned dual MBA/MPA degrees at Stanford GSB and SPIA, and coach admissions for MBA, MPA, and fellowship programs for graduate and undergraduate students. I can't wait to meet you and learn more about how we can turn your dreams into achievable goals, together. I grew up in Tennessee, and got life-changing opportunities to gain a higher education through three fully-paid programs: the Jefferson Scholarship, the Knight-Hennessy Scholarship, and Princeton SPIA's funded MPA program. I've successfully navigated admissions to multiple MBA and MPA programs, and have weighed virtually every combination of joint degree and fellowship program out there. I know how high-stakes these application processes can feel, and how important it is to develop an application and interview in a way that reflects what you uniquely bring to the table. Beyond my own experience, I've spent six years serving on scholarship and admissions selection committees. I've seen how reviewers read applications, what makes essays memorable, and how candidates can avoid common obstacles in the process. I've coached +20 students through every stage of the process—from preparing for standardized tests and identifying the right programs, to crafting compelling narratives and preparing for interviews that feel authentic. Beyond working in investment policy, I love exploring running routes through my new hometown of San Francisco, dabbling on the piano, playing tennis at the park up the street, and hosting dinner parties with my wife.

I graduated from Columbia Business School after being admitted to multiple top 20 MBA programs and earning a full ride scholarship for both years.

As both an MBA grad and a founder, I know how to help you tell a story that’s personal, compelling, and strategic. I believe the best MBA applications come from real self-awareness and clarity, not perfection. Whether you’re just starting your applications or polishing the final draft, I’ll meet you where you are and help you present your best story.

I’m a Harvard Business School MBA, Techstars-backed founder, and VP of Product in fintech. I grew up first gen and low income with no roadmap.

I’ve coached 100+ people across MBA admissions and career pivots. I can help with school strategy, career narrative, essays, resume, recommendations, interviews, and waitlist strategy.
