Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Coaches

I'm a Harvard MBA with MBB consulting experience, and a Chemical Engineer with 5+ years experience in operations and engineering roles before business school. I applied to five top MBA programs and was admitted to all (HBS, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Northwestern Kellogg, and Duke Fuqua), with over $500K in scholarship offers. I also received offers from the top 3 consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) during business school. Since my own MBA journey, I have coached 30+ applicants across different backgrounds - helping them craft their stories, strengthen their strategy, and show up confidently. Whether you're a non-traditional candidate, just starting your MBA journey, or deep in essays and interviews, I'm here to be your strategist, sounding board, and biggest cheerleader. I have worked with individuals across various demographics and time zones and will be more than happy to work with you to put your best foot forward. I'm here to help you tell your story powerfully and authentically - and win that admit!

Hi there! I'm Johnny, and I'm thrilled to support you on your MBA journey. I was fortunate to be admitted to Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, and Harvard Kennedy School, and I previously worked at McKinsey & Company. But more than the names on my résumé, what sets me apart as a coach is how personally I understand the grit, self-doubt, and strategy it takes to craft a standout application. As a first-generation college graduate, I know how overwhelming this process can be—and I’m here to help you navigate it with confidence, clarity, and heart. Whether you're building your story from scratch or polishing your final draft, I’ll meet you where you are and help you find your voice, tell your truth, and maximize your chances at the schools of your dreams.

Hi! I’m a current MBA student at Wharton, where I’m on the Director’s List (top 10% of the class).. Before business school, I spent four years in consulting, and I’m now interning in private equity - so I’m especially excited to help consultants, finance professionals, and potential career-switchers tell a compelling story. I’ve coached students and professionals for years across subjects and stages, and I’m here to support you with everything you need - including overall strategy, resume reviews, essays, interview prep, and more. I know how daunting this process can be, and I’d love to be in your corner for it.

As a current MBA candidate at The Wharton School and a former Senior Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company, I bring a wealth of experience in strategic problem-solving and business acumen to my coaching. I specialize in helping clients craft compelling narratives that highlight their strengths and align with their career aspirations.

Welcome to my profile! With a Bachelor's in History of Science & Computer Science from Harvard University and a deferred MBA offer from Harvard Business School, I bring a unique blend of analytical and strategic expertise to MBA coaching. My experience as a Strategy Consultant at Capital One and IBM has equipped me with the skills to guide clients through the complexities of MBA applications. Additionally, as a former President of the Harvard Black Students Association, I have honed my leadership and communication skills with university leadership, which I leverage to help my clients craft compelling narratives. Having coached more than 100 individuals, I am passionate about helping you achieve your MBA dreams. Let's work together to make your application stand outz!

I'm excited to help you get into your top MBA program! I help many folks who are applying to MBA programs, many of whom have successfully been accepted to top 5 programs. I'm especially focused on helping folks with background in consulting and life sciences / healthcare make the transition to MBA, and put their best foot forward in admissions. I was an MBA student at Harvard Business School and have used that experience to launch a biotech company called Modulate Bio.

Feeling out of your league? I got into America's #1 business school despite having the lowest accepted GRE math score in years. I specialize in helping people from nontraditional professional backgrounds, like myself, apply to elite MBA programs. Prior to attending Stanford's GSB on a full merit scholarship (Knight Hennessy), I had only worked in international development and public service. I felt imposter syndrome about applying to business school: I had no idea what EBITDA was and hadn't used numbers in 10 years. Nonetheless, I made my application stand out because I have a knack for storytelling, branding, and communication. I'd love to help you do the same!

I’m an HBS MBA (graduated with Distinction) who "swept" the top business schools: I earned admission to Stanford GSB, Wharton (Howard E. Mitchell Fellow), Columbia (Full Tuition), Yale SOM (Full Tuition), Berkeley Haas, and Harvard. I know exactly how to turn a "non-traditional" background into a winning offer. Before HBS, I was a CPA and consultant—not a typical feeder for private equity. Yet, through rigorous positioning and storytelling, I leveraged my MBA to pivot directly into Growth Equity at Summit Partners. I’ve since been featured in Poets & Quants and selected as an inaugural HBS RISE Fellow. My coaching is built on that same level of execution. I have coached 100+ applicants to define their edge, specifically helping career switchers and first-generation candidates punch above their weight class. I don’t just edit essays; I help you build a narrative that connects your personal story (resilience, identity, overcoming adversity) to your professional goals. What to expect: Direct, high-touch partnership. We will clarify your "why," sharpen your resume line-by-line, and build an interview strategy that is authentic and confident. If you want a coach who will push you to present the strongest, most ambitious version of your story, let’s get to work!
