Rachel’s Investment Banking Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Experience level: Analyst

Rachel has helped clients get into these companies:

I landed an offer at a Tier I bulge bracket investment bank without an ivy league education, a family connection, or a cookie-cutter resume. I know what it takes to stand out—and I’ve helped others do the same. With firsthand experience going through the hyper-competitive recruiting process, I understand the real reasons candidates get offers: it's not just technical mastery, but how you tell your story, build relationships, and navigate each stage strategically. I’ve coached candidates from target and non-target schools to land offers at top firms like Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and Morgan Stanley. Whether you're preparing for HireVues, coffee chats, technicals, or Superdays, I’ll help you walk in with confidence, clarity, and a clear edge. This isn’t just about practice—it’s about precision. Let’s get you the offer!

About Rachel

Hi! I’m Rachel — originally from Southern California, now living in the wild world of New York City where I work in finance. My path to business school was anything but linear. I took the GMAT eight times, got rejected by consultants who said I didn’t fit the mold, and waited an extra cycle to apply with the strongest possible application. That persistence paid off: I was accepted to both HBS and GSB. I’ve lived at both (happy to share the full story when we work together!) and have a deep understanding of what it takes to get in — and thrive — at each program. I’m passionate about helping others navigate the same journey. I bring structure, enthusiasm, and honesty to every coaching relationship and love working with people who are ready to put in the work to achieve big goals.

Why do I coach?

I was not the typical business school applicant. While my resume is decorated with the logos you assume all top business school want to see, my GMAT was low for the top programs, my employer wasn't supportive of business school, and I didn't have much guidance throughout the process. I felt completely lost and wished I had someone to help me see around corners and offer a bit of moral support. I am here to do that for you. My personal story is what got me into HBS and GSB, and I am an expert in positioning your application to make you stand out in the admission's officers eyes. Whether you are in Private Equity in New York or product in San Francisco, I have the playbook to help you land your dream school.
