Package Description:

This 2-hour intensive session is designed to give you everything you need to build a powerful, cohesive MBA application strategy—before you write a single word. Using the same proven methodology I’ve developed over the past 10+ years (with a 98.9% success rate), we’ll work together to set the foundation that top-tier programs look for. During our session, we’ll cover: ✅ Your post-MBA goals – We’ll clarify and refine your short- and long-term goals to ensure they are ambitious, credible, and aligned with your background and target programs. ✅ Your personal brand – Together, we’ll define the values, experiences, and differentiators that make you memorable and begin shaping a clear narrative that ties your entire application together. ✅ Recommender strategy – I’ll help you choose the right recommenders and identify the key strengths each should emphasize to support your overall story. ✅ School + round selection – We’ll review your school list and build a round strategy that reflects both your competitiveness and your goals. Why this session matters: Even the strongest essay can fall flat if it’s built on the wrong strategy. I’ve seen too many applicants work with well-meaning friends, current MBA students, or less experienced consultants—only to realize (too late) that their goals didn’t align, their recommenders weren’t reinforcing their story, or their brand wasn’t clear. This session eliminates that risk. You’ll get expert guidance at the most important stage of the process—before you lock in the stories you tell.

Coaching delivered via live sessions and .

My coaching style is a combination of deep expertise, strategic clarity, and genuine partnership. I bring over a decade of experience and a 98.9% success rate guiding clients into top programs like Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and INSEAD, but I’m equally known for how I make the process feel human, thoughtful, and empowering. Yes, I’m exceptionally thorough. I’ll challenge vague ideas, dig for the deeper story, and make sure every strategy we build is backed by data and experience. But I also know that applying to an MBA isn’t just about checking boxes, it’s a moment of self-reflection and realignment. Clients often tell me that this process helps them not only build better applications but also reconnect with their purpose. I’ve had applicants reach out 5 or even 10 years later to say they still revisit the documents we created during their strategic planning, whether they’re prepping for a major pitch, negotiating a new role, or simply trying to find their way back to their north star. This isn’t just admissions coaching. It’s a chance to clarify who you are, what you want, and how to tell your story in a way that gets you noticed—and remembered.

I've helped over 1000 applicants from around the world get into Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, INSEAD, and every other top program you can name. I’m Ellin Lolis, founder of Ellin Lolis Consulting, a global MBA admissions firm with a 98.9% success rate. I’ve spent the last 10+ years guiding applicants with a proven, step-by-step methodology that simplifies the process and maximizes results. As a certified career coach and award-winning writer, my approach helps you craft a powerful personal brand, connect your story and values to each program, and submit applications that actually get you in. Clients often say I treat their application like my own. That’s because I do. I bring the same level of strategic precision and emotional support to every engagement, pushing you to deliver your best work while helping you stay grounded and confident along the way. I've collaborated with a range of different clients from every continent, including clients with low GMAT scores, 40+, traditional IB/MBB applicants, and even non-traditional applicants like nuclear scientists and sports journalists. For each, I helped them find their unique voice that helped them stand out in the crowded admissions space. If you’re aiming high and want a coach with the track record, tools, and heart to get you there, I’d love to work with you.
