Rachel’s MBA Qualifications
Rachel has helped clients get into these schools:
I’m a Harvard Business School graduate who got in on sheer grit — no family connections, no employer sponsorship, and definitely no 760 GMAT. In fact, I took the test eight times and ended up with a 690. I wasn’t the obvious admit. I didn’t come from a mega fund. I wasn’t a check the box candidate. But I understood the formula — and once you understand how HBS and the GSB really make decisions, your chances of admission increase exponentially. There’s a strategy to this process that most applicants — and even many coaches — miss. I’ve lived it. I’ve helped others do it. And I only work with people who are truly serious about winning. This is not a volume game. It's about positioning, storytelling, and playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. If you want someone who can tell you the truth, help you find your edge, and drive real outcomes, I’m your coach.
