JD/MBA Admissions Experts

I've spent the last 16+ years helping ambitious applicants get into the world's most competitive MBA programs, including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, and Booth. Across 200+ MBA clients, 95% have been admitted to at least one of their top-choice programs, and over half have received scholarship money. I graduated from NYU Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Economics and English, and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School in 2020, where I focused on Strategy and Entrepreneurship. That gives me a current, first-hand perspective on what M7 adcoms are actually looking for. My career in this work started in Singapore, at a test prep and admissions firm I helped expand into Shanghai, running tutoring and admissions consulting in both markets before coming back to New York to found my own practice. That international background means I'm equally comfortable working with US candidates and applicants from Asia, Europe, and beyond, particularly the kinds of candidates who often have the strongest stories but the hardest time articulating them: finance professionals reinventing themselves, engineers making a pivot, non-traditional career switchers. My work focuses on coherence. Most applicants arrive with strong but scattered material: a real career, real accomplishments, but no through-line. My job is to help you find the narrative that ties it all together, build a school list that's strategic (not aspirational), and turn essays into the strongest part of your application instead of the most stressful. If you want a structured, results-focused partner, let's talk.

Navigating the intersection of law and business requires a specific narrative. As a JD/MBA graduate from the University of Pennsylvania and a former Associate at Skadden, I understand the rigor—and the rewards—of the dual-degree path. I don't just help you apply; I help you articulate a cohesive vision that resonates with both admissions committees. From crafting a "dual-language" personal statement to identifying the professional ROI of the joint degree, I provide the tactical roadmap needed to secure a seat at a top-tier program. Whether you are aiming for a M7 MBA or a T14 Law School—or both—I provide the specialized coaching to ensure your profile stands out in a crowded field.

Good advice should not break your bank. And good advice should be unique. I help MBA applicants find the story that makes everything make sense. My specialty is connecting the dots — personally, professionally, and strategically — so your application reads as a coherent, compelling story rather than a collection of disconnected achievements. I am especially strong at helping applicants find their unique voice and differentiation. This is not a Mad Libs approach, and it is not a factory or template. I help you uncover the most powerful unifying storyline behind your life, career, decisions, ambitions, and future direction. Why this path? Why now? How does everything you have done so far logically lead to what you want to do next? What is the deeper pattern behind your experiences? What makes your candidacy feel not just impressive, but inevitable? Over the past 12 years, I have advised roughly 100 applicants, most targeting top 10 MBA programs. My coaching style is intense, direct, and highly detail-oriented. I am a perfectionist about narrative coherence. I push candidates to go beyond surface-level achievements, uncover the strongest themes in their background, clarify credible short- and long-term goals, and translate their experience into essays and interviews that feel specific, mature, and authentic. The final application should not sound manufactured; it should feel honest, distinctive, and unmistakably yours. I am particularly helpful for candidates with complex, international, technical, finance-heavy, startup, or non-linear backgrounds. If your story has many moving pieces, I can help you connect them into a compelling admissions narrative: where you have been, what shaped you, what you are building toward, and why an MBA is the right bridge. My background combines education from MIT Sloan MBA / undergrad at UPenn, international business experience across the U.S. and China, and years of advising students and professionals on applications, essays, interviews, and career positioning. I have worked across strategy, operations, venture capital, M&A, clean tech, and startup commercialization, which gives me a practical understanding of how ambitious candidates should frame their leadership potential, career goals, and personal differentiation.

I earned both my Master in Management and MBA admission through the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and graduated in the top 15% of my class. Having successfully navigated admissions to highly selective graduate programs, I understand what top business schools look for and how to help applicants differentiate themselves. I have advised applicants on school selection, resume development, essays, interview preparation, and overall application strategy. I can help candidates craft compelling narratives, position their professional experience effectively, and maximize their chances of admission to competitive MS, MiM, MBA, and other graduate business programs.

I help MBA and postgrad applicants break into Ivy League and Oxbridge programs with a strong narrative, essays that sound like you, and a strategy built on how these schools think. 100+ admits. $ 2 million+ in scholarship funding secured. Over the past 10+ years I've reverse-engineered what consistently works across Ivy, M7, and Oxbridge admissions and as a Cambridge and LSE admit myself, I know these selection processes from the inside. I find what makes a candidate compelling, often things they haven't articulated themselves and build it into a narrative top programs remember. My own background spans consulting, startups, government, and nonprofits, which helps me find the thread in almost any profile. Recent wins include a low-GPA admit to Harvard's MBA and an Oxford admit with 100% tuition funding. I am especially helpful if you're: - An experienced professional (consulting, banking, industry) who's done more than your application currently shows - A nontraditional candidate with cookie cutter GPAs or scores, with real strengths to surface elsewhere - An international or minority applicant who wants someone who gets your background from the inside - An undergrad whose transcript doesn't tell the whole story - Waitlisted or rejected, and want to build a compelling case for reconsideration What I do - School and programme selection strategy - End-to-end essay and personal statement development — SOP, CV, and beyond - Interview preparation - Scholarship and fellowship application support
