Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Coaches

Hi there! My name is George Lankas, Stanford GSB class of 2027. I was fortunate enough to receive acceptances to 3 top MBA programs (GSB, Wharton, and Tuck). I ran a tutoring company as a student at Georgetown University, where I helped classmates ace Econ classes and get past writer’s block on essay. I also offer career coaching – after transitioning from an IB oriented role to client facing Private Banking, I know how tricky the pivot can be! I’m passionate about helping people get into their dream MBA program or get their dream job – I want to be a partner and asset throughout your process to ensure you can make your goals become a reality.

After receiving a full-tuition scholarship to Columbia Business School, along with multiple fellowships, I am equipped to help support you in your M7 MBA journey.

Hello! I am a current MBA candidate at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. I offer a fresh perspective on the MBA application process – I recently underwent the MBA application journey and found success with multiple M7 acceptances while coming from a traditional, overrepresented applicant background. Regardless of an applicant’s hard stats, a successful MBA application requires a compelling story, powerful essays, and a polished resume, crafted via rigorous introspection of one’s experiences, strengths, and gaps. Whether it’s helping you narrow down a list of schools, brainstorming around your story, strategizing/reviewing essays and your resume, or helping prep for interviews, I’m here to provide end-to-end guidance throughout your application journey to help you stand out from the crowd.

Chicago Booth 2019 grad & multi-scholarship recipient; interviewed applicants as alumna (30+ interviewers). Able to support with application prep, interview mocks and practice, essay feedback, waitlist strategy, or reapplicant strategies.

I am in my first year at Kellogg and can teach you the tricks that admissions committees are looking for. I will help you with your essays and resume, prep you for your interviews, and discuss your overall strategy and recommendations. I can also help you think about how you can position yourself for scholarships, and which you will be eligible for.

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA graduate of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management and a current 4th year medical student, I bring a healthcare-centric perspective to the MBA admissions process. Additionally, I'm only a few months removed from being a student admissions interviewer at Kellogg and also spent a year on the admissions committee at my medical school. Thus, I have useful experience on both sides of the admissions process. My goal is to be the go-to coach for those who want to use an MBA to work in the vast world of healthcare. Describing healthcare experience in interviews and essays can be challenging, as it requires translating complex industry knowledge into language that resonates with a broad audience, including MBA admissions committees. I'm confident I can help you do just that. I've reviewed dozens of MBA applications and coached many healthcare-focused candidates. I feel well-prepared to help you leverage your medical background—or if career switching, to express your interest in healthcare—to stand out in your MBA applications. Let's work together to make your application truly exceptional—reach out to get started!

I have completed my MBA at Stanford and an MPA at the Harvard Kennedy School, and I was a Recruiting Director for BCG Boston's Empower program - a recruiting program focusing on Black and Latinx MBA candidates. I have a lot of experience supporting individuals with non-traditional backgrounds who are considering an MBA or a career in consulting. I have also supported a lot of candidates from Latin America, and coming from minority backgrounds. Since 2017, I have advised 10+ individuals applying to top MBA programs. For example, during my time at BCG, I have helped associates applying to top schools, deciding whether to pursue a dual-degree, choosing schools etc. I have also supported members of other networks who were interested in applying, especially from Latin America. Some of my coachees have been admitted to top schools, such as Stanford, MIT, HBS, Wharton and others.

Experienced Coach with proven track record of helping aspirants crack their MBA Admit. I have the tendency to go all in and I would not rest till we have together made multiple iterations to perfect that essay and application.

Hi, I'm Natalie. I went to Stanford GSB, and also received offers and full scholarships from MIT, Columbia, and NYU. While my roots are in Finance, I dove into entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing post-graduation, having founded and sold one company, and took another from Series A to Series C, expanding to 5 new markets and generating multi-million dollars of sales in 4 years. Coaching-wise, I've had the privilege of guiding candidates to successful admissions at top schools like Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Chicago Booth. One individual's testimonial encapsulates the impact of our engagement: "I connected with Natalie during a pivotal time in my career in 2019, when I was applying for my MBA and contemplating a shift from my five-year tenure as an investment associate to a more strategic role. Natalie's willingness to share her own career journey was invaluable. Her insights extended well past the professional realm, guiding me through her experiences during her MBA journey and beyond, helping me clarify my career direction and reevaluate what truly mattered in my life. Natalie's mentorship was exceptional, offering a wealth of practical advice for my career. Her support and guidance have played a significant role in shaping my educational and professional journey. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a mentor and advisor, particularly for those seeking career growth and direction." Beyond MBA coaching, I provide comprehensive career guidance, drawing from my diverse experiences. If you're looking for practical advice and a mentor who understands the twists and turns of various career paths, let's connect and navigate your journey together.

I coach prospective MBA applicants who are interested in media, entertainment, and how those industries intersect with the future of tech. Before business school, I worked in management consulting at PwC, and after earning my MBA from Harvard Business School, I successfully pivoted into a role at the intersection of media, entertainment, and technology at Meta. At HBS, I served as President of the Entertainment & Media Club and as VP of Admissions for the African American Student Union, and in both roles I coached students through the MBA decision process and application strategy. My approach is objective and practical, focused on “why MBA” clarity, career strategy, narrative development, and essay review, and I also help with test study strategy and prioritization as someone who took multiple approaches to reach the results I needed and understands that process deeply.
