I have helped over 100 students with consulting interview preparation, resume and LinkedIn reviews, and academic applications (deferred MBA programs, fellowships, etc.). I have specifically found a great deal of success in MBB interview prep, helping over 25 students secure MBB offers at a 93% offer rate. My coaching style is highly human-centric and personalized, as I use behavioral health techniques to train students on how to channel their brightness with concision, clarity, and creativity. In terms of credentials, I have been a Scholarship Admissions Interviewer at USC, the President of 180 Degrees Consulting at USC, a Co-Founder of the USC Consulting Consortium, a Founding USC Recruiting Lead at McKinsey & Company, and the CEO of Blue Modern Advisory, a Professional Mentorship startup.

I was in a pool of 300+ applicants for consulting while in business school and successfully advanced to final-round interviews for Bain, BCG, and McKinsey, eventually joining McKinsey's Denver office. At McKinsey, I participated on the recruiting committee, screening resumes, coordinating recruiting events, and serving as a buddy for new hires. I have helped 30+ candidates, providing personalized coaching on content, mock interviews, detailed feedback, and ongoing support. What makes me different: I have a rigorous, structured approach to preparing for consulting interviews. I have a full set of custom frameworks, tools, trackers, and content I can share to support your ongoing preparation. I provide detailed, in-line comments and line-by-line edits for your resume and/or cover letter, and I make sure you start with a robust understanding of the interview process and insights into different expectations across MBB firms.

Aspiring to join the consulting world but lack previous consulting work experience? Don't worry, I've been in your shoes. I'm Xuan, a successful consulting applicant without a traditional consulting background, ready to coach you on this unique path.

My university is a non-target school for top consulting firms with around a ~67.6% admission rate and an unranked business school by USNews. The total student population of CSUF's business college is around 9,000+, and I was successful in differentiating myself and getting my profile in front of interviewers at most of the Big4 Consulting Groups (Deloitte Consulting, EY-Parthenon, Strategy&) and the three MBB frms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG). For many of these firms, I was the FIRST to interview from my undergraduate program in my school's history and the first to receive job offers. I also coach for deferred MBA admissions and undergraduate admissions on Leland.

As an incoming Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company and a former Consulting Intern at Oliver Wyman, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities of breaking into top consulting firms, especially from a non-target school. I founded and lead Santa Clara Strategy, a consulting prep club at Santa Clara University, where I’ve helped students like myself—coming from non-traditional backgrounds—develop the skills and confidence to secure offers at top firms. My coaching is designed to demystify the case interview process and equip you with the tools to stand out in the competitive consulting world. Let’s connect and carve your path to success in management consulting!

As a former Consultant and interviewer at BCG, I bring a wealth of experience and insider knowledge to help you succeed in getting a MBB offer. During my time at BCG, I focus mostly on growth strategy and deal advisory projects in the consumer goods space. Regarding coaching, I have also coached 20+ individuals, with more than half landing MBB offers. I do this by writing my own cases based on my work, teaching them how to effectively present their interview responses (the real differentiator), and also explaining the real-world parallel behind these suggestions. If you are interested, I am happy to schedule a free introductory call. Let's start working towards your MBB offer!

As a former Big 4 and boutique consultant, I have extensive experience with the case interview process. Particularly during my time in business school, I gained deep insight, knowledge, and elite best practices for improving framework development, fine-tuning math skills and preparation, and thinking creatively during the case interview. The key to performing well during case interviews is to practice and my coaching style is geared towards working with you to help identify strengths and areas of opportunities that can make case interview preparation as effective and simple as possible. Additionally, I am highly keen on helping those with non-traditional backgrounds and skill-adjacent backgrounds break into the industry altogether!
