Through a 2hr strategy call, set up a winning foundation from the start of your applications, or get unstuck. Will accelerate your work by clarifying what schools look for and reducing weeks of research and "free" advise that costs you time in distilling what is helpful for your specific profile. Great for those who are are self-driven but want a strong start, or those on a limited budget. We dive deeply into your personal, professional, community and goal stories. 1. Strengths and weaknesses analysis for your specific profile; 2. Essay question breakdown/strategy based on expertise of what admissions look for; 3. professional advice on formulating your goals tested against real market trends; 4. impact of low GMAT/GPA lower ranked colleges; 5. Winning school selection based on feedback from hundreds of alumni from every program 6. Resume and Online Application: Discuss pointers to write an "MBA" resume 7. Letters of Recommendation (LOR): Discuss recommender strategy I hope to inspire confidence by providing frank feedback and making recommendations as needed to form the best possible application. I have been in your shoes and can empathize with wanting to put your best foot forward and get it done. At no time should you feel like unneeded services are being pushed onto you, but the areas we cover in 2hrs are dependent on the amount of questions, how "sticky" details we need to strategize, and your ability to jot the feedback down to apply on your own. You can add more hours to continue getting support in other areas. Because it’s hard to predict how many hours an applicant may need, I can not predict if hourly is cheaper than the start-to-finish package.
Essay strategy, clear framework for all essays (recommend tackling 1 school at a time)
Resume&online application strategy (time permitting)
Letter of Recommendation strategy (time permitting)
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
I help guide you tapping my over 10 years of experience to cover as much as possible and asking at each turn if you want to get more detailed in any area. Ultimately you drive the engagement by asking for what you need. We set goals for what you wish to cover, hop on a strategy call and action on that plan. Adjust as you learn where you need more or less help. You get a summary of time used after each call/edit. What counts toward your purchased hours? Time spent preparing for our call in reviewing resume, transcripts, GMAT/GRE, or drafts/previous app essays.
The full 2 hours must be used in a single call. You may roll it over from Round 1 to Round 2 in the same application year (for example if your test outcome was not as expected). I know things happen and am here to partner with you until the end.

Top Career Path &Goal Strategist | AI Leadership | +Admissions Review
Empathetic & straightforward MBA admissions coach with 10+yrs experience. Drawing on my deep understanding of admissions' vision, I guide clients in creating authentic stories and ambitious goals that reflect their past experiences and future potential. I challenge applicants to discover their leadership voice using admissions insights, proven frameworks, and confidence-building techniques. Together we will brainstorm and battle test your goals ensuring uniqueness, vision and connection to your abilities - clients in the past have started up companies based on the ideas we formulated together. →I work with a select group of international/US candidates each round from diverse backgrounds (from technical backgrounds that feel an MBA is out of reach to top consultants struggling to differentiate). I offer amazing coaching to a select few, to do so I lessen sales calls. When I review your profile I am committing to partner with you to maximize your profile - include it in your message. I will not oversell you, we chose each other. → Skip the free intro call.
