About Aniekeme
Your power is in your story. It may not be easy to see at first how the dots all connect, from where you're coming from, what you've experienced, and what you'd like to accomplish next. Making that connection and telling your unique story in a strategic and compelling way is possible, and I am here to help you do that! Hi! Thank you for stopping by my profile. My name is Aniekeme, and I help professionals like you get into top US MBA programs. I graduated with an MBA from Wharton in 2020 and a BS in engineering from Columbia. I have worked in consulting, banking, retail, and tech at companies like PWC, Evercore, and Peloton. Navigating the US as an international, I am blessed to have had coaches and advisors who believed in and supported me. A senior MBA admissions consultant discouraged me from applying to business schools, saying I wouldn't get into a top program. But another coach listened, asked questions, and showed me what was possible, and I got into Wharton with fellowships from Wharton, Evercore, and McKinsey. To pay that forward, I started my MBA Admissions consulting journey as a coach with the Young African MBAs Business School Prep program in 2021. My coachee was applying to business schools for the third time, and working together, he went from 5 rejections to 5 acceptances and over $250,000 in scholarships. He enrolled at Booth and was admitted to other top schools like Tuck, SOM, and Darden. I started my MBA Admissions Consulting practice after earning my Master Certified Professional Coaching certification in 2022. In addition to my coaching expertise, I draw on my experience as a recent MBA grad, my relationships with alums and admissions directors across the top US business schools, and the power of storytelling, a topic on which I am an official TEDx speaker. I offer comprehensive admissions consulting, which I recommend to all prospective clients as it allows us to work together through every aspect of the application, crafting a cohesive and compelling narrative and supporting through interviews and decisions. I also offer hourly services that cover personal narrative workshops, resume and essay editing, recommendation strategy, mock interviews, and other ad hoc application support. Business school can be a pivotal career move. I would be honored to support you through this important, challenging, and ultimately rewarding process!
Why do I coach?
When I was applying to business schools, a senior admissions consultant told me I was too young and inexperienced to get into a top school and shouldn't bother applying. I did anyway and got into Wharton with fellowships from Wharton, Evercore, and McKinsey. That was years ago, but it remains a core reason why I started my MBA Admissions Consulting practice. I was coached by a different woman who took the time to understand my story, excavate and illuminate my strengths and work with me comprehensively to put together the best application. Years later, I am paying it forward. For me, there is nothing more fulfilling, nothing more satisfying than helping another person reach their dreams, especially against the odds. That is why I coach.
