Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Experts

I've spent a decade at three of the world's most competitive companies — Meta, Apple, and JPMorgan Chase — doing one thing exceptionally well: turning complex, messy human stories into clear, compelling narratives that move people to act. That's not just my job. It's my superpower. And it's exactly what great MBA essays require. I was selected for JPMorgan Chase's Senior Associate Development Program — a leadership initiative recognizing the top 2% of nominees firm-wide — and have been recognized as a top 1% mentor on the ADP List platform for expertise in research and career development. I've formally mentored junior researchers, led A/B testing workshops for 200+ employees, and built research frameworks that doubled team throughput. I know what it takes to perform at the highest level — and how to help others get there. I also just lived the application process myself. As an incoming Columbia EMBA student, I know exactly what today's top programs are looking for — and more importantly, what makes an application stand out in a highly competitive pool. I didn't have a linear, easy-to-package story. I had to work for my narrative. That's what makes me a better coach: I've done the hard work of turning a decade of zigzag experience into something undeniable, and I can help you do the same.

Applying to business/graduate school is a big step, and it helps to have someone in your corner every step of the way who has been through it. I’m Joe - I am a graduate of Harvard Business School's full time MBA program, Navy officer, and longtime tutor/coach with a background in strategy, finance, engineering, and leadership. Before HBS, I served as a Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy, where I led teams and managed Sailors and operations for months at sea. I’ve also tutored and coached more than 300 students across personal finance, strategy, business, computer science and professional development. Helping people recognize and reach more of their potential has always been one of the most meaningful parts of my professional life. I’ve helped MBA applicants from a multitude of backgrounds think through their goals and build applications that feel both polished and authentic. My style is direct and practical: I’ll help you figure out what actually makes your story compelling, then turn that into a clear application strategy. Let’s build an application that doesn’t just check the boxes, but actually captures the person behind them.

Hi there! I'm Erin, a graduating full-time MBA candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where I've honed skills in Economics and Entrepreneurship. As an Admissions Fellow at Booth, I've interviewed candidates and provided valuable insights to prospective students at admissions events, giving me a deep understanding of what top business schools are looking for. My professional journey includes strategic roles at Vanguard and an internship with McKinsey & Company, where I gained firsthand experience in management consulting and will be returning full-time after graduation. I am a proud first generation student who has successfully coached candidates in their MBA applications through the Forte Foundation network, helping them craft compelling narratives and navigate the admissions process. While at Vanguard, I spent several years in our Education Savings practice - in addition to MBA application logistics, I am well-versed in various ways to financially plan for school and am comfortable discussing program fit (i.e., full-time versus part-time). Making MBA dreams a reality is one of my favorite ways to spend my time, and I'd love to work with you!

I'm a graduating MBA student at Stanford Graduate School of Business and will be heading to Boston Consulting Group after graduation. Prior to business school, I worked in the education sector as a teacher, school leader, and school network leader. In addition to being admitted to 8 of the top MBA programs with more than $1.5M in scholarships, I've also successfully helped multiple applicants get their dream admission into Top 10 MBA programs, and I served as an admissions ambassador during my time at GSB.

I tend to take the long way around, learning lessons the hard way while trying to fail forward. I’m energized by sharing those lessons and helping people with similar tendencies, backgrounds, and ambitions be a step ahead of where I was when I was in their shoes. At one point my life, I started doing things for the plot, but at a certain point, the plot started happening to me. If you’re someone who focuses less on test scores, though they do matter, and more on the story, the journey, and how all the pieces fit together, we’d be a great fit. Now for the baseball card stats: - I’m a 2025 Stanford GSB grad and now building my own company, Penguin Health, as a Stanford Impact Founder Fellow. My path to Stanford was traditional, but not really. - I went to Florida State and cold emailed 1,000 people to get a job in banking. I got fired after a year. - I failed forward and cold emailed my way into BCG, didn’t get fired, and actually liked it. I got bored though, and wanted to get closer to my dream of becoming a CEO. - I moved to Kenya, where I worked at Jumia, Africa’s first unicorn, and launched and scaled a 20-minute grocery delivery business across 10 African countries to $10M GMV in 18 months. - I applied to business school twice. - The first time, I applied to 6 schools and got 0 interviews. I wasn’t ready. - Unsure if I was going to apply again, I hired a consultant, applied to HBS and GSB, and got into both. I’ve been incredibly blessed with mentorship and guidance in my life. I want to provide that for others. Not by pretending there’s one perfect path or formula, but by helping you understand your story, sharpen your strategy, avoid the mistakes I made, and put together an application that actually sounds like you. Drop me a line, let's chat.
