Welcome to my profile! I was accepted into deferred MBA programs at the Harvard Business School and Wharton School of Business after graduating from a non-target school with an 82% acceptance rate. I had big dreams in undergrad: get into an M7 business school. But, I had no connections, no target background, and no clue how to get there. I share this because if I can do it, you can too. My journey taught me the power of authentic storytelling. Allow me to share my experience and help you craft a striking application, bringing your unique story to light.

Hey! I’m Michael, a Wharton MBA and Forbes 30 Under 30 founder who’s navigated a nontraditional path into business school and beyond. Before Wharton, I left medical school to build a company from scratch, growing it into one of the largest Asian-centric digital media brands in the world. Going through that journey shaped how I approached my own MBA applications and how I think about storytelling, positioning, and credibility in competitive admissions processes. I know firsthand that strong MBA applications are not about checking boxes or copying templates. They’re about clearly articulating your story, your decisions, and where you’re headed next. At Wharton, I saw how applicants from unconventional backgrounds can stand out when they frame their experiences with honesty, clarity, and intention. I also understand how confusing it can be to decide whether business school is right for you, how to choose programs, and how to translate your past into a compelling narrative for admissions committees. I work with applicants who want thoughtful, high-touch guidance, especially those coming from nontraditional backgrounds, career pivots, or entrepreneurial paths and have helped my clients gain admission to the top business schools in the world. My focus is on helping you craft a clear, authentic MBA narrative, refine your essays, and present your experiences in a way that feels true to you while still resonating with top programs. If you’re looking to tell your story with confidence and submit an application you genuinely stand behind, I’d love to help you through the process.

Annie is an experienced and passionate coach who uses the power of storytelling to inspire humanity and empower individual growth. She went through the deferred admissions process last year, and successfully crafted a strategic & holistic narrative despite having a sub-par GMAT score, received interviews with Stanford GSB, UPenn Wharton, and Chicago Booth programs, and received letters of recommendation from highly influential people such as the business school dean, a Partner at a Big 4 firm, and world-class faculty. Now, as a Michigan Ross graduate and a deferred admit to the University of Chicago Booth Scholars Program, she hopes to offer comprehensive assistance to students who are looking to apply for deferred MBAs. At the University of Michigan, Annie served as an academic writing coach for underresourced first-years hoping to transfer into the competitive Michigan Ross business school, so she has reviewed over 20 application essays from diverse students, and deeply understands what top business programs are looking for in their candidates. As a first-generation college student, Annie has always highly valued education and conducts thorough research to further her abilities. She is seeking not just coachees, but mentees, who come from underrepresented backgrounds to provide complete resource guides, top-secret tips to the application process, and a thorough review and analysis of their application essays.
