Deferred MBA Admissions Coaches

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.

I've been coaching candidates to help present the best possible version of themselves for deferred MBA applications. Applicants that I have coached have been admitted to Wharton, HBS, Columbia and more top programs.

Hi there! My name is George Lankas, Stanford GSB class of 2027. I was fortunate enough to receive acceptances to 3 top MBA programs (GSB, Wharton, and Tuck). I ran a tutoring company as a student at Georgetown University, where I helped classmates ace Econ classes and get past writer’s block on essay. I also offer career coaching – after transitioning from an IB oriented role to client facing Private Banking, I know how tricky the pivot can be! I’m passionate about helping people get into their dream MBA program or get their dream job – I want to be a partner and asset throughout your process to ensure you can make your goals become a reality.

I don’t guess what AdComs want — I know. I’ve mentored applicants into every top M7 Deferred MBA and MBA program with a 100% success rate when I take full control of the essays, resume, and positioning. In the 2024–2025 cycle alone: CBS (8), Booth (7), Wharton (4), MIT (3), HBS (3) — all admits. I don’t just refine your story — I turn it into a hero’s journey that makes AdComs believe in your future. If you want results, you need someone who treats your application like a pitch to investors — and I make sure you’re the one they bet on. 15-min intro call — free. Let’s talk.

When I was in your shoes, I could not afford an admissions consulting firm, or to pay a former adcom member who only understands how one school thinks. I personally authored 100% of my end-to-end applications (essays, CVs, interview preparation, etc.) without these resources. Through a deep understanding of how to craft an authentic application, I was admitted to four Ivy League undergraduate schools, as well as to all three of the deferred MBA programs: HBS 2+2, Stanford Deferred Enrollment, and Yale SOM Silver Scholars program. My clients have been admitted to all SEVEN top MBA programs, including all three deferred MBA programs. I coach to give prospective students like you access to gold-standard application prep that will turbocharge your ability to land admissions ACROSS all top business schools: -- Without the admissions consulting firm price tag -- With the perspective of someone who has been admitted to and attended multiple Ivy League schools (vs. an adcom member who only understands the perspective of one) 💯
