Thresa’s College Qualifications

Thresa has helped clients get into these schools:

10 years ago I was going through the college application process and felt entirely alone. No one in my family had gone through the daunting process and my school didn't have the resources to support me in elite college applications. Fortunately, I found Questbridge and was able to highlight my story to receive admission to Rice University (and various other schools). At Rice, I served on the Admissions Committee and conducted 50+ Admissions interviews, working directly with their team to identify top candidates for Rice.

Thresa can help with:

Financial Aid & Scholarships

Editing

Interviews

Waitlist Strategy

School Selection

Secondary Review

About Thresa

Howdy! I am excited to connect to help you reach your full potential! I grew up in Montana and trudged an uphill battle to reach Rice University via a Questbridge Scholarship. I was underprepared for college but was excited to explore and luckily landed jobs my sophomore year at both Accenture Strategy and Deloitte Human Capital. I've gained lots of experience in the selection process, both as an interviewer at Rice and a leader of Deloitte's undergraduate recruiting. I've coached more than 50 candidates through the recruiting process, providing personalized support in interviews, cover letters and resumes. Finally, I was admitted to the Stanford Graduate School of Business in Fall 2023 for a 2026 graduation. I persevered through 2 application processes, yielding 3 acceptances and 1 waitlist result (2 full-ride scholarships) in Fall 2022 and admission to Stanford, my dream school, in 2023. I took both the GRE and GMAT and can help advise the decision making between the tests.

Why do I coach?

As an FGLI student, I was totally overwhelmed by the process of consulting recruiting and applications. Now, I hope to give back to others, supporting their career search and providing feedback and insights on resumes and case interviews. Everyone could benefit from a second set of eyes and I'm an encouraging support system who can help translate any experience into relevant for both consulting and business school.
