Yu has helped clients get into these schools:
I don’t guess what AdComs want — I know. I’ve mentored applicants into every top M7 Deferred MBA and MBA program with a 100% success rate when I take full control of the essays, resume, and positioning. In the 2024–2025 cycle alone: CBS (8), Booth (7), Wharton (4), MIT (3), HBS (3) — all admits. I don’t just refine your story — I turn it into a hero’s journey that makes AdComs believe in your future. If you want results, you need someone who treats your application like a pitch to investors — and I make sure you’re the one they bet on. 15-min intro call — free. Let’s talk.

About Yu
I’m Effy, a financial analyst (Plus international on F1 visa) turned coach who has helped over 70 students land top jobs and deferred MBA offers at schools like HBS, Wharton, and Booth. I started with no clear path and built my future through relentless learning, rejection, and the support of great mentors. Now I pay it forward. I know what it feels like to doubt yourself, but I also know how to turn that doubt into results. Let's build your story and nail your application together!
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know what imposter syndrome feels like. I’ve been there—unsure, overwhelmed, and questioning if I was good enough. You are. You deserve every opportunity you're aiming for. I’ve helped 70+ students land top jobs and deferred MBA offers, not by changing who they are, but by showing them how to own it. Let’s talk. I’m here to help you realize what’s already yours.
