MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

As a Harvard Business School graduate, I know how transformative a top tier MBA degree can be. At the same time, I appreciate how challenging it can be to navigate the competitive admissions process. Nailing the GMAT/GRE, building a compelling narrative, developing a strategy for where to apply, and navigating interviews requires a tailored approach that is uniquely you. I come from an engineering background, working in medical devices for several years at Abbott prior to business school. After business school, I joined McKinsey where I helped companies navigate difficult strategic challenges largely in healthcare. My background in engineering and consulting equips me with a unique perspective to help you craft a distinctive application. Whether you need assistance with application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's connect and work together to achieve your MBA goals!

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!

I help candidates turn strong resumes and complex life stories into clear, compelling MBA applications that stand out. My strength is storytelling with structure. I know how to identify what admissions committees actually care about, frame experiences with intention, and build cohesive applications where every essay reinforces a clear narrative arc. I was awarded a full ride scholarship to Wharton and received the Dean’s Scholarship from MIT Sloan, giving me firsthand insight into what top programs reward. I work closely with clients to refine positioning, sharpen voice, and translate ambition into authenticity so their applications feel confident, differentiated, and true to who they are.

I love mentoring and coaching students and applicants - I regularly volunteer my time with the Berkeley Haas entrepreneurship program by providing course content, speaking opportunities, mentorship hours, and coaching. I also regularly support incoming MBA and MPH students with application review, interview prep, and more. While at Haas, I worked with the MBA & MPH admissions committees for a year and picked up a bunch of tips and tricks to hack the process! My journey: pre-med undergrad > biotech scientist > healthcare management consulting > grad school > healthcare entrepreneurship & venture capital

I graduated from Harvard Business School and have 10+ years of coaching experience. I have helped numerous clients get into Harvard, Stanford, Wharton and M7 as well as land jobs in banking & investing. I previously worked for the University of Michigan career center helping students apply for investment banking jobs and have reviewed hundreds of resumes, cover letters and mock interviews. I have also spent many years working with non-profits such as Synergist to mentor college women interested in business and finance and Minds Matter to help first-generation high school students apply to college. I take a hands-on approach and strive to help every one of my clients reflect their best true potential.

If you're coming from a highly competitive/overrepresented background for top MBA programs (MBB, LMM/MM PE/VC, straight white male, etc.) then I'm your huckleberry. I'm John, an MBA and MBB case interview coach with admits to Stanford GSB, Wharton, Booth, and Kellogg (and an interview from Harvard--nearly got all the infinity stones!). I can walk you through differentiating your profile, application strategy, interviewing flawlessly, and deciding which school to choose after you secure admission at all your top choices.
