    1100+ Admits H-S-M7 | EMBA | Former Harvard Admissions | 30 yrs | Harv grad

    [Currently, we are offering special discounted pricing in celebration of my company’s 25th year and my 30+ years of work as a coach. Enjoy the discounted pricing!] For over 30 years, I have served as a coach and consultant, helping over 1100 MBA and Executive MBA applicants develop their skills, accelerate their careers, and gain admission to top business schools to bring their admirable career visions to fruition. People often ask why I price much lower than other coaches. The answer: access. I strive to ensure that a broad range of applicants can benefit from outstanding consulting, and my company's motto is "Excellence at an Affordable Price." This approach has brought amazing fruit. It has been my honor over the years to help leaders equip themselves to impact the world--from a penniless doctor who attended Harvard Business School, became a billionaire, and is now disrupting the pharma industry, to the entrepreneurs who have scaled their microfinance companies and expanded their private equity firms to support high-impact projects globally. My clients have been admitted to top business schools, which include all the best schools in the United States and Europe/Britain--Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, Columbia, Kellogg, Booth, Yale, Cornell, Tuck, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Duke, Darden, NYU, Oxford, Cambridge, INSEAD, LBS, HEC, IESE, and the list goes on! Very importantly, I strive to help make applications "scholarship-worthy," and many of my clients have earned substantial scholarships, including full-ride scholarships to Stanford Business School, Fulbright Scholarships, Rhodes Scholarships, top EMBA scholarships, the MIT President's Scholarship, Forte Scholarships, and full-ride Consortium scholarships. My clients have come from over 83 countries on six continents—from the USA to India, China, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Spain, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa, among many others. My clients have also hailed from varied entities—from multi-billion-dollar market-leading companies to unicorns, scaling entrepreneurial ventures, and pre-revenue organizations. I worked in a Harvard admissions office, in Stanford's Office of the President, as a Harvard alumni recruiter, and as Co-Leader of the Harvard Undergraduate Admissions Council. I graduated from Harvard College and Oxford University (master's and doctoral degrees). Throughout my academic journey, I earned awards for academic excellence, including the John Harvard Scholarship, and over $400,000 in other scholarships, including the Fulbright Scholarship. I leverage all this expertise to empower people to achieve their dreams. I am excellent at helping candidates with flaws in their profiles overcome their weaknesses and gain admission to schools where they otherwise may not have been accepted. If you want personalized guidance and proven strategies for submitting an outstanding application, I'm here to aid you. Please reach out to discuss how I can support you in achieving your goals.

    Admissions Expert | Columbia MBA | 15 Years of M7 & Top School Admits

    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.

    Current Stanford GSB | Full rides to every top MBA, no consultant

    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

    Craft MBA Applications That Get You In | Kellogg Alum & Interviewer

    About me I've sat on the other side of the table: as an admissions interviewer for Kellogg School of Management, I've evaluated real candidates and know firsthand what separates an admit from a ding. I've coached 18+ clients through the MBA admissions process and into top-tier programs. Priority to LGBTQ+ and First Generation, and I'm open to working with clients inside and outside the U.S. Before coaching, I built a career that MBA programs love to see — Sales Strategy & Ops Associate at LinkedIn and Product Lead at GrubHub — so I can help you position your own story the way adcoms read it. I completed the "MMM" program at Kellogg, so I also hold an MS in Design Innovation from Northwestern and separately a BS from Tufts in Quantitative Economics and International Relations. What we can work on Strategy — school selection, application positioning, and how to frame your career narrative. The application — essay development and editing, resume translation (business resumes ≠ admissions resumes), and coaching your recommenders on what actually moves the needle. Interviews — prep grounded in how interviewers are actually trained to evaluate you, not generic question lists. How I work Direct and honest. I'll tell you if a school is a reach, if an essay draft isn't working, and where your profile is genuinely strong — because that's what gets you in.

    Former MBA AdCom - Helping You Build Applications That Actually Get Noticed

    I have spent nearly a decade working in MBA admissions, first as a member of the admissions committee at Emory University's Goizueta Business School and subsequently as an independent admissions coach. My AdCom experience gave me direct insight into how applications are evaluated, what makes a candidate compelling, and what causes even strong applicants to be passed over. That perspective informs every aspect of my coaching. As a Graduate Admissions Coach, I have worked with clients from the U.S. and abroad, guiding them through every stage of the MBA application process. My clients have earned admission to programs at Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, UPenn, Georgetown, UCLA, NYU, USC, Tuck, Boston University, Imperial College London, the University of Toronto, and many more.

    Ex-Apple, NVIDIA, Tesla • 2x AI founder — Coaching aspiring MBA founders

    As an international student, I navigated the path from an F-1 visa to a career at Apple, NVIDIA, and Tesla, with two master's degrees from Carnegie Mellon. I've sat in the exact seat you're in: writing essays that need to feel distinctive without being gimmicky, picking schools that actually translate to the U.S. career you want after, and figuring out how to tell your story in a way that lands with admissions committees who read thousands of them. International MBA applicants face a specific challenge: most application advice is built around domestic applicants. The narrative arcs that work, the school selection criteria, the post-MBA career lens — they all assume a U.S.-citizen default. That's a real gap. And if your background is international, non-traditional, or both, that gap is where strong applications struggle. I work specifically with international applicants because that's the path I walked, and it's where I can add real value: - Finding the narrative angle that makes you distinct without leaning on the generic immigrant story - Picking schools through a sponsorship and post-MBA career lens - Positioning a non-traditional background as a strength, not a gap to explain - Writing essays that feel authentic and like you. - Preparing for the post-admit reality: visa timing, internship sponsorship, long-term career arc Whether you're applying to a MPP/MPA/MS/MBA program, the crux of a great graduate school application starts with crafting a bespoke winning strategy designed for you. I take a small cohort of clients per cycle. I'm selective because outcomes matter more than volume. If you're an ambitious international applicant aiming at top programs and you want a coach who's lived this path, let's talk.

    Haas MBA / MCS | Climate & Impact-oriented | McKinsey

    Hi, I'm Sabrina — a sustainability practitioner and career coach with a background in consulting, based in Toronto and now Berkeley. My path here has been anything but straight: I studied Finance and Accounting, completed five internships spanning audit at Deloitte and consumer fintech at PayPal, then spent three years at McKinsey building my consulting foundation. From there, I took a leap into mission-driven work as a Fellow at Conservation International, focused on ocean conservation finance. Now I'm pursuing a dual MBA and Master of Climate Solutions at UC Berkeley, navigating the sustainability space in real time — which means I know firsthand what it takes to break in, stand out, and build a career with both impact and trajectory. Since college, I've been passionate about helping people find work they're genuinely excited to wake up for. I've been in the thick of tough career decisions myself, and I'd love to help you navigate yours.
