My journey to an elite score took much longer than it should have. I prepared for the GMAT the same way I did for my engineering tests in undergrad - solving problems brute force. I signed up for every notable resource and study program available over the course of a year. It wasn't until the very end that I realized I was preparing with the wrong strategy and the wrong mindset. Today I combine my executive coaching training and insights from my GMAT journey to support others achieve elite scores.

About Noura
I currently run a tech startup and venture scout for a Tier 1 VC fund 👩🏽💻 I’ve invested in consumer, proptech, healthcare, edtech and enterprise SaaS. I worked at General Electric in a rotational ops & manufacturing program prior to earning my MBA. I took the GMAT 4 times 🤯 before I got into my dream school, Stanford GSB. I then got into handful of other top MBA programs including Wharton, Kellogg, Darden, Yale SOM etc In that process I learned what doesn’t work and more importantly - what does work. Work with me if you 👇 🔸 feel low confidence in your GPA 🔸 feel lost with your essay/story 🔸 want to beat the GMAT 🔸 come from a non traditional background i.e not IB, consulting etc …or simply want to create a killer strategy for how to manage your admissions process 💪🏽 As your coach, my goal is to make sure we identify the bar for admissions for your dream school and help you meet it, all while feeling supported and confident in your candidacy. I started my coaching practice helping friends get into top MBA programs - and that grew to friends of friends. Clients I’ve worked with have gotten into Booth, HBS, Haas, Kellogg, Wharton and more. **If you’re experiencing financial hardship, DM me and we’ll work something out ✨
