For the last two years, I’ve interviewed 25+ candidates and provided valuable feedback to the admissions committee, getting an inside view of what top programs look for. During that time, I was selected by Kellogg’s Career Management Center Career Peer coach. I successfully guided over 50 students in refining their resumes, crafting compelling pitches, and honing their interview skills.
