Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Experts

Welcome to my profile. I’m a Wharton MBA graduate and former Admissions Fellow with firsthand experience navigating—and evaluating—the MBA admissions process. Professionally, I’m a co-founder of GenieAI, an AI-driven B2B fintech company backed by leading Silicon Valley VCs, where I’ve raised millions of dollars and am actively scaling the business. Earlier in my career, I worked as a venture and growth equity investor, evaluating and backing fintech and enterprise software companies, and as a strategy consultant focused on commercial due diligence for PE clients. This combination gives me a strong perspective on what top MBA programs look for in future business leaders—both on paper and in practice. I’m deeply committed to mentorship and have coached 50+ MBA applicants through every stage of the process, from school strategy and positioning to essays and interviews. My clients have been admitted to HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Chicago Booth, INSEAD, and other top programs. Whether you’re shaping your overall application narrative, refining essays, or preparing for interviews, I’ll help you present a clear, authentic, and compelling profile that stands out. Let’s work together to turn your MBA goals into admits.

I secured admissions to HBS, Kellogg, Tuck, and Fuqua (4-for-4) by mastering the 'non-traditional' narrative. Coming from a Big 10 university and corporate healthcare, I didn't have a standard feeder pedigree. I had to out-strategize the pool to win. Now, I help high performers from corporate and niche backgrounds do the same. My coaching focuses on strategic positioning... helping you figure out how to tell your story so you actually stand out from the thousands of other people applying from similar backgrounds! Professional credentials -HBS (MBA) -McKinsey & Company (Engagement Manager) -Healthcare Product & Ops Leadership (Galileo, Truveta, TurningPoint) If you want to beat the odds and win at the highest level, let’s get to work!

Welcome, and congratulations on taking this exciting step in your MBA journey! I was in your shoes not so long ago, and I hope to be a trusted coach and resource for you along the way as you work toward admission to a top MBA program. I help prospective applicants develop a clear, competitive strategy by working closely with them to assess whether an MBA is the right next step, strategize the appropriate application round, build a thoughtful target school list, define compelling short- and long-term post-MBA goals, and craft a personal narrative that connects their experience, leadership, and future vision into a persuasive application. As a Student Life Fellow at Wharton, I support admitted students and have been trained to answer nuanced questions about academics, student life, clubs, and the day-to-day experience of an MBA program. I also provide specialized guidance for applicants pursuing Wharton’s highly selective Health Care Management (HCM) program, including how to approach the application and interview process. In addition, I help candidates prepare for Wharton’s unique Team Based Discussion (TBD) interview by strengthening how they communicate, think strategically, and contribute with confidence in a collaborative group setting. I look forward to helping you put forward your strongest application and move closer to your MBA goals.

I was admitted to Booth, Kellogg (MMM Program), and Wharton, all on merit scholarships ranging from 25-75% tuition coverage. I was an Admissions Fellow at Wharton, speaking to and interviewing over 300 candidates.

With first-hand, diverse industry experience, I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA candidates craft compelling applications that highlight their spike factors and experiences. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams and career goals a reality! Feel free to reach out for personalized guidance on your application journey.

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.

When I was applying to MBAs, I had four things keeping me up at night. Which schools actually fit. Whether Lauder or the MBA/MPP path made more sense. How to not read like every other consultant in the pile. And whether a below-median GMAT score was going to sink me before anyone read a word I wrote. It didn't. I got in — Wharton MBA, Lauder MA — and I was sponsored by my employer to do it. I'm Vivek. I work with people who are somewhere in that same mess: consultants trying to stand out, international applicants figuring out how to come across, anyone staring down the MBA vs. dual-degree question, and candidates who don't have a perfect score and are wondering if it matters. It's a solvable problem. Reach out.

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.

Welcome to my profile! I am an MBA student at Harvard Business School and a former consultant at McKinsey & Company, with an academic background in engineering and professional experience in product and strategy consulting. Even with a less-than-competitive GMAT score, I was fortunate to be accepted to every top MBA program I applied to in the US and Europe, and I want to help you find that same success, and some joy, in your own application journey. I have successfully coached five clients, helping them craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths and experiences. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I am here to help you navigate the MBA admissions process.
