Steven’s MBA Qualifications

20+ people coached for MBA

Steven has helped clients get into these schools:

I have supported Admissions interviews for candidates in to the Chicago Booth part-time MBA program so I have a strong sense of what it takes to gain successful admission. During my application process, I only considered 2 part-time programs (Booth & Kellogg) and was able to attain admission to both. In addition, I TA'd Negotiations courses at Booth so I have significant experience negotiating offers and scholarships. I enjoy helping others achieve their goals and look forward to working with you!

Why do I coach?

I have always been taught to pay it forward. If it had not been for tutors and coaches growing up, I would not have been fortunate enough to attend the schools I did and work at some of the companies I have been able to land roles at. The business school and tech/consulting markets are highly competitive and if I can help make the Admissions process or Interview process respectively even 1% easier for somebody else, it's more than worth it to me. I hope I can help you achieve your goals similar to how my mentors helped me!
