Wharton MBA Admit | UT Austin Honors Grad | College Admissions Expert
Hi, this is Shawn! I graduated from the McCombs School of Business at UT Austin with my Bachelor’s degree in Canfield Business Honors & Finance. Having gained admission to top business schools like UPenn (Wharton), UT Austin (McCombs), UC Berkeley (Haas), and USC Marshall, I know firsthand what it takes to stand out. Over the years, I've successfully coached peers and students, helping them secure spots at prestigious institutions such as Harvard, Duke, UPenn, UC Berkeley, UT Austin, Northwestern, University of Chicago, and Rice University. I can help with school selection, resume review, essay and application support, interview preparation (including mock case & behavioral interviews), and any other part of your application you may need support in. I enjoy helping applicants highlight their strengths and passions through effective storytelling and setting them up for success in the interview process. I am here to help you reflect deeply on your experiences and guide you in the competitive college admissions process. Some of my qualifications include the following: - Received offers from Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Deloitte Consulting - Reviewed and provided personalized feedback for 150+ college application essays - Conducted 75+ mock behavioral interviews and revised 120+ resumes for candidates applying to top-tier undergrad institutions and M7 MBA schools - Coached 60+ people on breaking into management consulting and investment banking from business school with most receiving top offers at McKinsey, BCG, Monitor Deloitte, Strategy&, Accenture, Oliver Wyman, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and more!
