I am an MBA from University of Berkeley - Haas school of Business. This is one of the toughest schools to get into for MBA and i would love to share my experiences with potential applicants and help them in their journey

MBA Deferred Admit to Wharton Business School, MIT Sloan, and Yale SOM. My university is a non-target school for top graduate programs 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 being the very first deferred MBA admit out of my university. I have had experience coaching/tutoring friends and family for years and love helping others through the platform Leland has built! I also coach for management consulting and undergraduate admissions on Leland.

I'm here to help you brag about yourself -- it's always easier to brag about a friend than it is about yourself. As someone who has always struggled with how we tend to be defined by our jobs in the US, I hope to make your application more about the real you. My HBS essay was about how hard my dad worked to keep us afloat in the US -- not about the slides that I made at Bain, even though I am proud of that achievement. I have extensive experience with the HBS, GSB, Wharton, and Consortium (Darden and SOM) applications and have continued to help folks get into HBS since my own admissions in December 2021.

As a current MBA candidate at The Wharton School, I have provided 1:1 coaching to over 30 prospective students to support their MBA application process. I bring a wealth of experience through my own MBA application process, which was enriched by my role as an MBA Fellow with Management Leadership for Tomorrow and Questbridge MBA Scholar, where I gained insights into crafting compelling applications for top business schools. Through these efforts, I was accepted as an MBA Candidate at The Wharton School, Harvard Business School, and UChicago Booth. Let's get started today and help best prepare you for the business school program of your dreams!

I applied for deferred MBA programs in 2021, and was accepted into Harvard Business School's 2+2 program. I feel passionate about helping individuals find their unique story to craft in their application, setting them apart with their own background and experiences. Since being accepted, I have helped countless others with questions about the process, and feel I can be a valuable resource in creating your own powerful MBA application.
