Deferred MBA Admissions Coaches

I’m a Wharton MBA candidate with experience at McKinsey and in product management, so I know what top programs look for and how to position you to stand out. I take a structured, insight-driven approach to help you craft a clear, compelling story across essays, resume, and interviews. My focus isn’t just polishing your application, but making sure your narrative is sharp, authentic, and differentiated.

Graduating Harvard undergraduate, I applied for and was accepted to 5 top business schools. Since then, I've helped many students apply and join top schools across the country. Happy to work with you on finding your story and telling a novel narrative, fine-tuning essays, and strategizing schools.

I am a JD / MBA candidate at Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School. I have 5 years of professional experience in high finance.

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.

Everyone I've coached has landed a school in their top 3 choices, even if not their first choice. We stay in touch throughout the full cycle of their application, from GRE/GMAT to essay writing to (if applicable) interview prep. I've been coaching for 5 years now and have experience with fellow procrastinators, as well as people who plan out their lives on a vision board they made in middle school. All I ask is an optimistic attitude and the ability to utilize feedback to your advantage, as I firmly believe that without it, we're all looking at ourselves in funhouse mirrors!

I am 1/30 deferred admits to the Stanford MBA class of 2028. I applied as a senior in college, and have not only coached many peers on their own MBA admissions process, but I've frequently hosted events with Stanford MBA students in New York City. I have also served on the scholarship admissions counsel at USC, where I attended as a full-tuition merit scholar, as well as a campus recruiting lead for McKinsey & Company while I was a Business Analyst there. My specialty lies in authentic storytelling, and I excel at coaching students on how to write their personal statement, resume, application strategy for recommendation letters, and any other supplementary essays/materials. I use personality science and behavioral health best practices to help my students thoroughly enjoy the process of applying, and also utilize AI to design custom training plans and educational resources for the more mechanical parts of the application process, including test taking. I'm excited to work with more students, especially those who are looking for guidance on how to sell their story!

Hello and welcome to my page! I grew up attending a small high school in Nigeria, and my journey taught me early on that where you start does not determine how far you can go—even when your goals quite literally feel worlds away. That belief informs my coaching style: you’ll quickly learn that I rarely—if ever—use the word “impossible.” Today, I’m a Moelis Advanced Access Fellow at The Wharton School and a future Associate at Boston Consulting Group, with a background spanning Cornell’s Dyson School, BCG, and PwC. I’ve successfully navigated the highly competitive MBA and consulting recruiting landscape, and I now help others do the same with confidence and strategy. Whether you’re refining your MBA application strategy, crafting authentic essays, or preparing for high-stakes interviews, I’ll help you tell a compelling story and position yourself for success. I’m excited to partner with you and help turn ambitious goals into real outcomes.
