My approach is work hard / play hard. I know this is an intense process for applicants, so we'll make it empowering and make it fun! Throughout our collaboration, you can expect regular check-ins, timely responses to your questions, and unwavering support as we navigate the MBA application process together. Here is what this package includes (with estimated time commitment): • Initial Consultation and Assessment: One-hour kickoff session to understand your profile, career goals, and aspirations. If applicable, the applicant will share their dream schools. We will discuss your background and start to identify thematic topics and stories for your overall application. (1 hr) • School Selection and Application Strategy: We will work together to create a list of best-fit schools based on your profile and preferences. From there, we’ll work backwards to develop an application submission strategy and timeline. (1 hr) • Resume: This package includes two resume reviews and edits. (2 hrs) • Letters of Recommendation: I view this as one of the most critically significant pieces of your application package, which applicants tend to overlook. I will help you identify your strongest advocates for the letters of recommendation and provide a recommender prep document. I will edit your recommendation prep package before you send it to your recommenders. (3 hrs) • Essays: Includes unlimited async reviews of essays and 2-3 live sessions to go over edits, if needed. The number of revisions necessary is highly dependent on the individual candidate. (6+ hrs) • Final Review: I will meticulously review and perform a final proofread of your application materials. I guarantee a 24-hour turnaround time for the final review, but require receipt of the final materials for review (excluding recommendation letters) at least 2 business days before the school's application deadline. (2 hrs) • Interview Preparation (if applicable) — We will conduct two mock interviews, followed by detailed, written feedback. (2 hrs) • Waitlist Strategy (if applicable) — If you're waitlisted, I will guide you through creating a targeted action plan to improve your chances of admission. The exact deliverables vary from school to school. If you decide to apply to additional graduate programs in a subsequent round, I will conduct a secondary review of your application with a list of recommended adjustments or courses of action (e.g., build quant background, different letter of recommendation, growth opportunity at work, etc.). (2 hrs) NOTE: I offer a tiered pricing model based on the number of applications. A joint degree application is two applications. Thanks!

Coaching delivered via live sessions and .
My coaching style is collegial and growth oriented. The application process is a deeply personal period of reflection and vulnerability. I aim to establish a collaborative relationship with my clients, working together to map out and achieve their goals. I am available over email and phone/text to ensure clear/prompt communication and offer moral support. When we kick off the process, we'll draft a timeline for the key milestones of your application process. Within this process, I will likely respond to your milestones submissions within a few hours and commit to a MAX 48-hour turnarounds on edits, post-interview write-ups, and async questions. In return, I ask that you are responsive about scheduling and aim to schedule 1x1's with one week notice (and cancel them with AT LEAST 24 hours notice). However, I know that life happens! Sometimes you may need a faster turnaround or an emergency session to troubleshoot things. Just let me know :)
The services included in this package are available until the end of the round in which you choose to apply, unless otherwise agreed. Packages are non-transferrable and cannot be deferred or otherwise extended to a subsequent admissions cycle.

MBA/MPP admissions (Admitted to HBS/HKS/GSB/Wharton/Kellogg)
I have advised 100+ applicants pursuing MBA and/or MPP applications to top institutions, helping applications secure admissions and a combined $500,000+ in scholarship money. Yes, that's over 10 candidates a year, with most of them receiving some form of financial aid! I will help you ethically secure scholarship funding where possible post-admissions (I.e., only after you've decided which school you'd like to attend!).
