JD/MBA Admissions Experts

I applied to every top MBA program in the country without a consultant and got into all five: Stanford GSB, HBS, Wharton, Booth, and MIT Sloan. Merit scholarships from each. Multiple full rides. GRE: 99th percentile after four weeks of prep. Five for five. I was admitted as one of the youngest members of the Stanford GSB Class of 2027. I hold multiple campus leadership roles, and outside of Stanford I serve as an Appointed Advisor to California Governor Gavin Newsom. Previously, I was an executive at a YCombinator-backed AI startup and the founding analyst of Accenture Strategy's Private Equity practice. My partner and co-coach is a JD/MBA at Wharton/Penn and a former McKinsey consultant. My own path to business school was anything but linear. I had a mix of experiences across tech, consulting, startups, and government, and I know what it takes to turn a complex background into a story admissions committees fight over. I've coached 15+ students on MBA admissions and career coaching, and am a multiple fellowship-winning writer, so I work with you hands-on from narrative strategy through final essay polish. I specialize in: - Applicants with non-traditional or complex backgrounds - Career switchers (tech to finance, consulting to startups, etc.) - International applicants targeting M7 programs - Deferred enrollment programs (HBS 2+2, Stanford deferred, etc.) - Scholarship and financial aid strategy and negotiation - Essay writing, editing, and narrative positioning - Full-cycle application management (school selection through interview prep) - GRE/GMAT test strategy and planning - Re-applicant strategy and repositioning - Interview preparation for MBA admissions Additionally, I can help with: - Post-MBA career strategy (tech, consulting, startups, PE/VC) - Consulting recruiting and case interview prep - Resume and LinkedIn optimization - Career and professional mentorship

Perhaps surprisingly, I do not believe most folks should get an MBA. My particular passion with MBA counseling is talking through if an MBA (or other degrees) makes sense given your goals. The MBA is a large investment with an increasingly uncertain return. I was fortunate that my MBA paid off - I got the career pivot I was looking for - but in many cases I recommend another path to folks. Let's chat to see if an MBA makes sense for you, and if so, which programs you should target. With a rich educational background from Georgetown University and a dual JD/MBA from the University of Pennsylvania and Wharton, I bring a unique blend of legal and business acumen to my coaching. My professional journey includes impactful roles at McKinsey & Company, where I was interviewer trained and helped applicants navigate the rigorous interview process, and leadership positions at Goosehead Insurance (mid-market public company) and various startups. I have coached numerous clients, leveraging my experience in strategy, operations, and transformation to guide them through the MBA application process. Whether you need help with application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. I find my biggest value add to be dispelling the myths and rumors you may have encountered on forums like Reddit or in talking with other folks who have not been throught the process in recent years. In my experience, the Internet has a lot of half truths, so I am eager to clarify any thoughts or concerns you may have. I firmly believe I was able to get into Penn's JD/MBA program because of my ability to create a compelling narrative. Beyond a good score and GPA, it really all boils down to a compelling personal statement. This is where I shine - let me help you with this and more. Whether you're looking to refine your personal statement, prepare for interviews, or strategize your application, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
