Sometimes you need someone to ask tough questions or give you structure to make the most out of your time. I am that person!

Welcome! As a current MBA student at the Kellogg School of Management and a seasoned strategy consultant at Deloitte, I bring a wealth of experience from consulting and MBA recruiting to my coaching.

I help candidates navigate the MBA journey end to end because I have personally gone through every stage of it and understand how tightly admissions decisions and post-MBA outcomes are linked. From GMAT strategy and school selection to regional trade-offs, cost-benefit analysis, scholarships, networking, interviews and final admit decisions, I have built and executed this process myself across US, European, and Indian business schools. I did not treat the MBA as a checkbox. I approached it as a strategic investment and designed my application and career plan accordingly. Since 2021, I have coached 18 candidates who have gone on to top-20 business schools. I work with clients to define their long-term career direction, shape a credible narrative and position them as candidates who know why they are pursuing an MBA and what they plan to do with it. This includes supporting professionals looking to change sector, function and region - A transition I successfully made myself during my MBA. Beyond admissions, I help clients prepare for post-MBA recruiting in consulting, leadership programs and big tech by aligning their MBA choices with realistic career outcomes. My goal is not just to help you get in, but to ensure the MBA works for you long after acceptance!

I have helped over 150 candidates gain admission to programs including INSEAD, London Business School, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Yale SOM, IESE, Oxford Saïd, Cambridge Judge, and others. My clients have come from companies including Netflix, Naver, Nexon, Santander, and Accenture. Many of the people I work with are exceptional candidates whose strengths are easy to underestimate on paper, especially if they are applying from outside the US or UK or working in a second language. They do not just need help polishing essays. They need help understanding what makes them compelling and communicating that with clarity, confidence, and precision. I help you identify the story, judgment, and self-awareness that admissions committees are actually looking for, then express it in a way that is memorable without feeling manufactured. If you are aiming for the highest level and want a coach who understands both international applicants and high-stakes positioning, I can help.

Hey! I'm Kusha, an incoming Chicago Booth MBA (Class of 2028) and Life Sciences technology consultant. I navigated the MBA admissions process on an incredibly tight timeline and came out with 4 acceptances to top programs and over $250K in total scholarship offers. I did it all without MBB, Big Tech, or bulge bracket on my resume. Before Booth, I built my career in Life Sciences consulting at a boutique firm. I know what it's like to apply to top business schools without household-name companies backing you, and I know how to make your background a strength, not a liability. Where I can help: - Application strategy, from school selection to crafting your story - Essay Reviews - Scholarship Negotiation and Financial Aid Strategy - Interview Prep with honest, constructive feedback - Support for Late-Starting Applicants who need to move fast I went through this recently and remember exactly what it feels like.

INSEAD MBA and Master of Finance (Queen's University) with a BA in Economics from McGill — I know exactly what it takes to build an application that stands out. I applied with a non-linear profile: a tech and data strategy background, based in Canada, targeting a full career pivot, a function change, a geography change, and a significant salary uplift — and I got everything I was aiming for. I prepared really hard: GMAT coaching, multiple essay drafts, and extensive interview preparation. I know what the process demands and what adcoms are actually looking for — especially if your story isn't straightforward. In the five years since graduating from INSEAD, I've coached several dozen prospective MBA candidates — from one-off clarity sessions through to 2-3 sessions per candidate of application support — helping them find their narrative, sharpen their essays, and walk into interviews with genuine confidence. My core strengths as an MBA admissions coach: -Helping candidates with non-linear or unconventional profiles build a compelling, coherent story -GMAT strategy and preparation guidance -Essay development — from blank page to final draft -Interview preparation and confidence-building -School selection and positioning strategy -Career goal articulation — short and long term -Navigating ambitious asks: career pivots, geo moves, salary jumps
