Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Experts

Hi! I’m Chloe—an HBS MBA and former brand strategist here to help you craft standout MBA applications. After 5+ years in advertising, I decided to apply to business school on a whim in March 2024, giving myself just five months before Round 1 deadlines. In that time, I refined my strategy, tackled the GRE, and built a cohesive application—ultimately earning admission to 5 top-10 programs, including Harvard Business School. As a storyteller by trade, I specialize in turning your experiences into a clear, compelling narrative that actually stands out. I offer focused, high-impact support across personal story development, essay editing, school-specific positioning, and interview prep. I also know how intense this process can feel, so beyond strategy, I promise to be a sounding board, cheerleader, and voice of reason to keep you grounded and confident along the way. If you’re aiming for top programs and want sharp, thoughtful guidance throughout the process, I’d love to work together!

Most MBA applicants look very similar on paper, especially those coming from consulting or IB. The difference between getting in and getting rejected often comes down to how well you differentiate your story. I’m a strong MBA coach because I understand exactly what it takes to stand out in a highly competitive applicant pool. Coming from a consulting background at a top-tier firm with a business degree, my profile initially looked quite “standard.” I successfully developed a distinctive narrative that helped me gain admission to my dream program at MIT Sloan. Beyond admissions, I also navigated the financial side of the MBA journey, securing multiple scholarships—particularly those available to German-speaking applicants. This allows me to help candidates not only get in, but also make their MBA financially viable. Over the past few years, I’ve mentored several prospective applicants with similar consulting backgrounds, supporting them end-to-end, from school selection and storytelling to essays and interview preparation. Many have gone on to receive offers from top programs. I combine firsthand experience, a structured consulting mindset, and personalized coaching to help candidates craft applications that truly stand out.

I applied for 4 MBA programs, from Ivy League to Top 25. I know what they're looking for in candidates and I can help you with your GMAT, resume, references, application, and interviews.

As a graduate of Harvard Business School and the University of Pennsylvania, I didn't arrive at either institution though a conventional path. I spent three years in government service before business school, as a first-generation student without connections or a clear roadmap, but ultimately gained acceptance and full scholarships at several top MBA programs. That experience is why my approach is rooted in mentorship and in helping you uncover what's genuinely compelling about your story. This includes the parts that don't fit the standard mold. I work primarily with applicants from government and public service backgrounds, people whose careers have been driven by impact, and often struggle to communicate their experiences in this process. If you're wondering how to make your public service background resonate with top programs and want a coach who will invest in your journey, I'd be glad to connect.

I am a Berkeley Haas MBA candidate, the founder of MBA to Commas, and one of the few coaches on this platform who is actively inside a top MBA program right now. I have coached over 400 MBA students, completed 10 customized mentorship packages with a 100% admit rate across all clients, and previously worked as a coach with an early admit program. I built MBA to Commas from the ground up as a boutique admissions consulting firm specifically for first-generation applicants, career changers, and ambitious professionals who do not have a built-in network guiding them through the process. I know what admissions committees at elite programs are looking for because I have helped hundreds of people get in and I am living it myself at Haas right now. Beyond admissions, I am a licensed California realtor with over $1.1 million in transactions, an Airbnb Superhost, and a content creator with 94,000 followers and over 300 million views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. I have worked with brands including Netflix, Verizon, and Perplexity AI. I bring that same strategic, results-driven mindset to every client I work with. If you have a non-traditional background, a story that does not fit neatly into a template, or an application you are not sure how to position, I am the coach you want. My track record speaks for itself and I am just getting started.

With an MBA from London Business School and a Bachelor's in Economics from UC Berkeley, I bring a wealth of first-hand knowledge and experience to the table. I've been an MBA Admissions Consultant to multiple successful clients to top programs including LBS, INSEAD, Oxford, IESE, and Imperial. My professional journey includes strategic roles at LinkedIn and Strategy& (PwC), where I have worked on cutting-egde projects in strategy, operations, and financial planning. Having coached individuals to achieve their MBA dreams, I'm here to help you craft a standout application. Let's work together to make your MBA aspirations a reality!

Welcome to my profile! I recently graduated from Cornell Johnson, where I was actively involved in both MBA admissions and student mentorship throughout my time in business school. As a member of the Johnson Admissions Group, I interviewed MBA applicants and wrote admissions recommendations as part of the evaluation process. Through that experience, I gained firsthand insight into how candidates are evaluated and what makes an application feel compelling, authentic, and memorable. I also worked closely with fellow students throughout recruiting and career preparation, helping many navigate high-pressure processes that required strong storytelling, self-awareness, and confidence. Before business school, I worked across marketing, analytics, and business operations roles at companies including FAT Brands and Jane, as well as within my family’s business. Coming from a less traditional pre-MBA background myself, I understand how overwhelming the MBA admissions process can sometimes feel, especially when it seems like everyone else already knows exactly how to position their experiences. My coaching style is supportive, practical, and highly personalized. I enjoy helping candidates identify the strongest parts of their story, communicate their experiences more clearly, and build applications that feel strategic while still staying authentic to who they are.

Do you feel like it's impossible to stand out in a crowded field of applicants with similar qualifications? So did I. MBA Admissions are challenging. You are expected to not only show academic and career strength, but also tell a narrative that shows what you uniquely bring to the table. For applicants from overrepresented industries - consulting, investment banking, private equity, even tech - it's a major challenge. My strength as a coach is helping my clients find and articulate exactly what makes them special and to make those stories jump off the page. We can spend time talking through your life and career experiences, identifying common threads, brainstorming and editing essays, preparing reviewers, and/or doing mock interviews. My goal is for my clients to feel 100% confident that their applications authentically represent their experiences, background, interests, and goals, because your authentic self is differentiated.
