About Brendan

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I was also accepted into the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame. Because I recently went through the MBA application process, it is fresh in my mind and I can offer a more recent perspective to the applicants I work with. As it relates to undergrad coaching, I know exactly what it took to get into the University of Notre Dame and I'd love to help you get to your dream school as well. I am currently working in financial services for a large multinational firm that caters to ultra-high net worth individuals and some select institutions. I love what I do and it enables me to meet with some pretty influential people. In business and life, having a good understanding of people is essential. I can help candidates think through how to best position themselves to look different throughout the MBA/undergrad admissions process. Through thinking about essays, to how to differentiate yourself through the interview process, I can share valuable insights I used to stand out from the crowd. I leveraged my own experience as a professional soccer player/elite high school player to help uniquely position myself when applying for business school/undergrad. You don't need to be a professional athlete to look different. We all have something unique about ourselves that helps us stand out. I will help you think through your entire application and be a guide and a resource for you as you go through the process. More about me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendan-king17/

Why do I coach?

I coach because I love giving back. Becoming a professional athlete, gaining employment at a best-in-class wealth management firm, and being admitted into two top-tier MBA programs took a village of support. There is virtually no way I could have done any of that on my own. To all the mentors, coaches, and family that helped me along the way – thank you! I hope to now pass on everything I have learned on my journey to all the MBA hopefuls out there. I look forward to working with you!
