I'm a London Business School alumnus and interviewer who started A1 MBA Consultants (A1mba.com). I have helped 120+ students, including ex-Formula 1 Race Driver Nicholas Latifi, get into their dream MBA program at schools such as HBS, Stanford GSB, Columbia, Wharton, Kellogg, London Business School, INSEAD, Oxford, Cambridge, and many more. I adopt a comprehensive and much more hands-on approach than your typical consultant, leveraging my insights into what adcoms want that I gained from being an interviewer. Partner with me and I will work to make your business school application journey a successful one.

Welcome to my profile! I am Akiva Nemetsky, an MBA candidate at Stanford University Graduate School of Business and Stanford Law School.

I have had the privilege of coaching over 50 individuals in the past, helping them navigate the competitive MBA admissions process and achieve their goals.

I will be the trusted partner that can help you show up, stand out, and break through the MBA application process. My goal is to help you articulate what makes you unique, going beyond your GPA and GMAT scores, to demonstrate how your presence will positively contribute to the MBA classroom. I will do this by helping you weave a compelling and cohesive narrative across the various components of your application: (1) Providing guidance on how to showcase your work experiences and trajectory, professional certifications, and extracurricular involvement, (2) Developing a strategy for your letters of recommendation, personal statement, and optional essay, and (3) Offering tips for networking, your interview, and the waitlist or deferral strategy (if applicable). How we'll work together: I start by kicking off with a comprehensive brag sheet and a ~2 hour kickoff meeting to create a personal roadmap for our work together. Then, we dive into your resume revamp, discuss your short-term career goals, develop your recommender prep packages, and work on your essay (including up to 4 revisions). I will help you with your data forms (the actual application) and will conduct one mock interview (regardless of how many schools we're working on together). I'm always here to assist with general questions that will naturally arise throughout the process.

I have a strong track record of helping individuals gain admission to top MBA programs and have volunteered as an interviewer, performed mock interviews, and regularly give advice to prospective applicants. With my expertise and insights, I can guide you through the MBA application process, from crafting compelling essays to preparing for interviews. Let's work together to unlock your potential and achieve your MBA goals. Reach out today to get started!

Candidates, especially ones from common or overpopulated demographics, need to stand out. We will work together so that you are not a one-dimensional candidate in the eyes of the Admissions Committee but one who adds something special to the entering cohort. I have been interviewing candidates as a Kellogg alum since 1993. I recruited Executive MBA candidates for Kellogg throughout Latin America and ran information sessions on the fulltime program while a Kellogg director. Later, I worked several years at two of the larger players in the MBA admissions consulting industry before deciding to offer the same services independently. Clients love my authenticity, enthusiasm, and sense of humor. But while a confessed porphyrophile, I have also helped clients get into a wide range of Top Twenty programs, including the M7.

-Have worked with 600+ MBA applicants from all over the world, with admits to schools including HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Sloan, Kellogg, Columbia, Booth, INSEAD, LBS, and many, many more. -85%+ success rate; 99% satisfaction rate, as people have a great experience with me regardless of their outcome. -Story-driven partnership approach to find and tell the best-possible narratives to differentiate and win. -"Magic" is common word clients use to describe my help. -I treat clients how I would want to be treated when paying for a premium service.

As a unicorn, dual MBA admit (accepted into HBS and GSB), I have a unique ability to transcend each applicants unique story into a highly compelling application. I am particularly familiar with the ins and outs of application dynamics at HBS, GSB, Booth, Penn, Wharton, Kellogg, MIT, Columbia, and Haas. I prefer working with a small quantity of seasonal applicants (as opposed to as many as possible) and ensuring that I can give 110% to each client. To data, I have coached and worked with students who have been accepted into CBS, GSB, Kellogg, and many more. I look forward to meeting you!

I applied to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton and MIT and got into all of then. I know what it takes to get into a top 25 MBA program and have since then helped 25+ other people with their application process. I would love to help you on this tedious but rewarding journey! If you're looking for personalized guidance and support to maximize your chances of admission to a top MBA program, I'm here to help. Let's connect and discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals!

Of the 9 schools I applied to, I was accepted to 8, and waitlisted at 1. Given my unusual application timing (round 3 during Covid after being evacuated from Colombia with the Peace Corps while serving overseas) I have more first-hand experience than nearly anyone into these school's interviews and admissions processes. I received scholarships as well ranging from full-rides to partial at these schools and can advise on negotiations.
