Deferred MBA Admissions Coaches

Hi, I'm Maclaine Fields. I’m currently an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School (Class of 2026). I graduated from Harvard College in 2020 with a degree in Economics. Before HBS, I worked at McKinsey & Company, where I focused on consumer, retail, and higher education. I did a rotation with McKinsey's economic research arm, the McKinsey Global Institute. I also did an externship with the strategy team at lululemon. I’ve coached individuals who have landed offers at McKinsey and other top firms and gained admission to leading MBA programs including HBS and Stanford GSB. I am especially passionate about helping applicants tell an authentic story, whether you are following a traditional path or carving out your own. I want to help candidates craft applications that showcase their individuality and reflect their personal goals. If you're looking for thoughtful, personalized support throughout your MBA journey, I would love to work with you.

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.

With an MBA from Columbia Business School, where I served as both a student and alumni interviewer, I bring firsthand insights into the admissions process. As a former Head Admissions Consultant at Veritas Prep, I have over a decade of experience guiding 62 clients to success in their MBA applications. My background in strategic roles at Gartner and American Express, combined with my consulting experience at Deloitte, equips me with a unique perspective to help you craft a compelling application.

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.
