MBA Admissions Coaches

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! I bring deep experience in MBA admissions, having previously served as the Assistant Director of Admissions at the Kellogg School of Management, where I helped shape recruitment strategies that elevated the quality and diversity of incoming classes. I currently continue to support Kellogg as an application evaluator, reviewing materials and interviewing candidates for both the Evening & Weekend and Full-Time MBA programs. In addition to my admissions background, I work in executive recruitment at Hunt Club. This dual perspective allows me to understand the full arc of the MBA journey—from what top programs seek in applicants to how graduates ultimately position themselves for high-impact leadership roles. Drawing on this combined expertise, I’ve coached more than 100 applicants on how to present the strongest possible version of their story. I specialize in essay development, overall application strategy, résumé refinement, and guidance on how to position yourself effectively—along with key do’s and don’ts that can make or break an application. If you’re looking to elevate your MBA application with expert, insider-informed support, I’d love to help you get there.

As a candidate, I went from re-applicant to R1 acceptances at Stanford GSB, HBS, and Wharton. The difference? I used a coach and current students to help me better articulate my story, in ways that resonate with admissions committees. I experienced the tremendous impact that a great coach can have in bringing clarity and cohesion to an application. As a coach, I'm great for prospective applicants to the GSB and/or HBS, and those looking to fine-tune their stories. If you want to better explain your desired pivot, connect the dots between unexpected career shifts, or differentiate yourself from others who started in traditional "feeder" industries, I've been in your shoes and can help.

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!
