About Daniel
I entered the MBA admissions process with low expectations. My GMAT score wasn't spectacular and I thought my story and background were ordinary. Through the help of several coaches, I was able to craft an incredibly compelling story that positioned me perfectly for top institutions. As a result, I was accepted into HBS and GSB. I have a strong passion for helping candidates with both traditional and non-traditional backgrounds put together the perfect story to "wow" admissions teams. I am an expert on all elements of the MBA application process including but not limited to: essay writing, resumé building, school strategy, letters of recommendation, GMAT strategy, application completion, interview preparation, waitlisted strategy, and more.
Why do I coach?
There's nothing more satisfying than helping someone reach a personal goal. I benefitted greatly from several coaches during my MBA application process.
