About Pooja

Hi there :) I am a deferred MBA admit at MIT Sloan and recently graduated from Boston University. I am here to help undergrad students navigate the MBA application process. I am currently on the Growth team at Carta, a start-up building software products for the founder/VC ecosystem. Prior to Carta, I was an intern at Battery Ventures where I sourced early stage B2B SaaS start-ups. I have also worked with the Harvard Kennedy School’s Women and Public Policy Center and the Advanced Data and Analytics team at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Having recently applied to deferred MBA programs, I have insight into how admission committees evaluate undergraduate profiles. Deferred applicants have a unique set of experiences such as internships, university clubs, and classroom projects that require a tailored application strategy. I help students present their experiences in a way that’s appealing to admission committees— if you are a current student exploring deferred admissions programs, I’d love to help!
