Gone through the 2+2 Application cycle myself

Do you feel like it's impossible to stand out in a crowded field of applicants with similar qualifications? So did I. MBA Admissions are challenging. You are expected to not only show academic and career strength, but also tell a narrative that shows what you uniquely bring to the table. For applicants from overrepresented industries - consulting, investment banking, private equity, even tech - it's a major challenge. My strength as a coach is helping my clients find and articulate exactly what makes them special and to make those stories jump off the page. We can spend time talking through your life and career experiences, identifying common threads, brainstorming and editing essays, preparing reviewers, and/or doing mock interviews. My goal is for my clients to feel 100% confident that their applications authentically represent their experiences, background, interests, and goals, because your authentic self is differentiated.

As an accepted candidate to the University of Chicago's prestigious deferred MBA program, I bring firsthand experience and insights into the application and interview process. My journey involved extensive preparation and coaching, through which I gained a deep understanding of what the admissions committee values. I have had direct conversations with several members of the interview and admissions committee, including the director of admissions, providing me with unique perspectives on what makes a successful application. With this comprehensive background, I am well-equipped to guide and mentor others through the process, helping them to craft compelling applications, prepare for interviews, and ultimately achieve their goal of being admitted to this esteemed program.
