Hey all! I'm offering EXTREMELY discounted coaching since I'm building up a client base again. I previously charged up to $200/hour so enjoy the discounts while they last! I was an extremely active coach back in 2022 on Leland and several other platforms before I started at McKinsey--feel free to check my reviews on Leland. I have extensive experience coaching across all aspects of MBA admissions: 1. I have helped 30+ students get into top MBA programs, including HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, etc. I also have experience helping several students get into top executive or non-traditional programs (Stanford MSx, Wharton EMBA, etc.). 2. I am a former professional writer, and I have helped all of students brainstorm, recraft, tune, and edit their essays. 3. I spent years tutoring standardized tests (GRE, GMAT, SAT). While I no longer offer tutoring services, I can help you develop a study plan and tackle weak points. 4. I am a professional resume reviewer for both MBA admissions and consulting applications.
