I've been in your shoes -- navigating complex applications, telling a compelling story across disciplines and audinces, and breaking into top programs without a "typical" profile. Now, I help others do the same.

Never in my life could I have dreamed about ending up in Stanford. But I did. I went to school in Egypt and didn't have role models who obtained advanced degrees, let alone from the top MBA program in the world. It is not impossible. I am here to help as many people from a non traditional background end up in Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, Columbia and other top schools. I have helped numerous friends with their GSB, HBS, Wharton applications. I am here to do the same for you. From strategizing, to outlining the essays to making direct edits.

Hi, I’m Madeleine! I am a former Harvard admissions team member, while being a graduate student at Harvard University. I'm an expert in nailing the admissions interview, and I have coached more than 500 students through highly selective interview process ranging from undergraduate, graduate, and private K12 schools. I know how strong interviews create positive bias that follows you into committee and elevates your entire application. I have a unique multifaceted approach based on my rare interdisciplinary background: • Harvard-trained: Harvard admissions insight and extensive network - • Athlete mindset: Performance and mindset coaching from being a NCAA Division I Athlete, and turned Pro Athlete • PR Psychology: As the spokesperson for a global tech company, having done 100+ conference panels, webinars, and podcasts, I know how to infuse the • Proven success helping 500 plus students shine in selective interviews, including admits to MIT, Cornell, UT Austin, Harvard, and Columbia Let's make your BEST self shine through, and BOOST your entire application together!

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.

Welcome! I am currently an MBA candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and earned my Bachelor of Business Administration with highest honors from the Red McCombs School of Business at UT Austin. Professionally, I’ve worked across investment banking, private equity, and strategic finance, partnering with founders, corporate boards, and institutional investors to shape business narratives and navigate complex strategic decisions. I approach admissions the same way investors evaluate opportunities: through leadership, judgment, trajectory — and, most importantly, fit. The strongest applications show not only why you want a school, but why that specific school is positioned to accelerate your goals. I particularly enjoy working with applicants pursuing careers in business or finance, though I help candidates across backgrounds move beyond resume bullets and develop thoughtful, authentic stories about motivation and impact. My focus isn’t just essay polishing; it’s helping you articulate a narrative that explains your past, shows intentionality in the present, and convincingly points to your future — all while remaining true to who you are. I’d be excited to work together.

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at the Kellogg School of Management, I bring a wealth of experience from both the consulting and education sectors. Before Kellogg, I honed my analytical and strategic skills as an Associate Consultant at L.E.K. Consulting, where I worked on diverse projects that required innovative problem-solving. My journey also includes impactful teaching experience with Teach For America, where I developed strong communication and mentoring skills. I am passionate about helping prospective MBA students craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths and experiences. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality!

As an IESE Business School and Imperial College London alumni (scoring in Top 10% of my classes, respectively), my MBA coaching journey began in 2020 after my experience at Harvard Business School’s Summer Venture in Management program, where I coached ambitious undergrads through their Deferred MBA Programs, securing admits from: MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, HBS 2+2, and Moelis Advance Access for Wharton. Since 2020, I have cultivated an MBA/MiM/Master coaching toolkit that encompasses: goals-first, logic-first, culture-fit first sense of executive and corporate storytelling for the M7 universities in the United States and for the top executive programs in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and greater-Asia. Now, I coach a selective clientele all over the world, with recent success stories involving international admits to UChicago Booth (with 60% scholarship), most notably. Over the past two years, I have learned the inner workings of every top program, helping a roster of 15+ (and counting) clients gain admission into their dream schools.

Stanford MBA / Stanford + Harvard JD admitee. I got into these programs after years of GMAT/LSAT study and concerted research on every element of the application process. I was asked to interview for Stanford MBA on day 1 and I was interviewed by Mary Barra (CEO of General Motors), so I have intimidating interview prep experience. I was accepted without being waitlisted. Looking back, I had an abysmal starting point, with a very naive concept of what a sterling essay or LoR might look like. But I meticulously sought out how to craft each element masterfully. I also developed a study plan that got me to a 770 GMAT (51 on math after a middling score) and helped me ace the logic and nearly ace the logical reasoning sections of the LSAT. I had spent over a year studying for the GMAT only to have a middle-of-the-road math score. Then I diligently pieced together a plan by studying those who aced the math portion and bumped my score to 51 (effectively the max) on the GMAT math. I did something similar for the LSAT logic sections (3/4 of the test). My pitch: I will concisely help you get from mediocre to maximum on every element of your application and test-taking process for MBA and JD programs. I have helped multiple people, with a relatively small amount of time and tight timeframe, get into Yale's JD program and interview for Stanford's MBA program with guidance it took me years to distill. I'll do the same for you. Once at Stanford, I led an initiative among 100+ incoming Stanford GSB students to collaboratively prepare for advanced-level coursework, resulting in the highest number of students in advanced courses in the school's history. Multiple classmates went on to pursue highly technical careers in part because of it. I'll help you strategize for this too!
