Jacob’s MBA Qualifications

10+ people coached for MBA

When I started my MBA admissions journey, I decided I would figure out the admissions process myself. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't. Writing essays for each of my target schools and editing and re-editing my resume was an arduous process that would have been more efficient had I sought advice from someone who had been through the process. Ultimately, I landed admits from multiple M7 and top 15 MBA programs, and received my MBA from University of Michigan's Ross School of Business on full scholarship. During this process I learned much about what makes for a successful MBA applicant and interviewed many successful (and unsuccessful) candidates as an admissions interviewer. I have firsthand insight into what top business schools are looking for in candidates and a proven track record of helping applicants craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths and experiences. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and make your MBA dreams a reality!
