Hello! I am a current MBA candidate at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. I offer a fresh perspective on the MBA application process – I recently underwent the MBA application journey and found success with multiple M7 acceptances while coming from a traditional, overrepresented applicant background. Regardless of an applicant’s hard stats, a successful MBA application requires a compelling story, powerful essays, and a polished resume, crafted via rigorous introspection of one’s experiences, strengths, and gaps. Whether it’s helping you narrow down a list of schools, brainstorming around your story, strategizing/reviewing essays and your resume, or helping prep for interviews, I’m here to provide end-to-end guidance throughout your application journey to help you stand out from the crowd.

Annie is an experienced and passionate coach who uses the power of storytelling to inspire humanity and empower individual growth. She went through the deferred admissions process last year, and successfully crafted a strategic & holistic narrative despite having a sub-par GMAT score, received interviews with Stanford GSB, UPenn Wharton, and Chicago Booth programs, and received letters of recommendation from highly influential people such as the business school dean, a Partner at a Big 4 firm, and world-class faculty. Now, as a Michigan Ross graduate and a deferred admit to the University of Chicago Booth Scholars Program, she hopes to offer comprehensive assistance to students who are looking to apply for deferred MBAs. At the University of Michigan, Annie served as an academic writing coach for underresourced first-years hoping to transfer into the competitive Michigan Ross business school, so she has reviewed over 20 application essays from diverse students, and deeply understands what top business programs are looking for in their candidates. As a first-generation college student, Annie has always highly valued education and conducts thorough research to further her abilities. She is seeking not just coachees, but mentees, who come from underrepresented backgrounds to provide complete resource guides, top-secret tips to the application process, and a thorough review and analysis of their application essays.

[Write Your Pivot Story] I wrote my admissions essay & application about the pivot I wanted to make in my career. I thought deeply about how to make sense of my previous experiences and how to make my pivot story compelling and believable. [Get Off That Waitlist!] I was the first one to get off the waitlist at HBS because of a couple very specific actions I took, and I'd be happy to coach you through that journey as well.

I'm a Stanford MBA student who received admission to Stanford and Wharton. I provide unique coaching because I do not come from a traditional consulting or finance background, and I was accepted with my partner who is also a current GSB student. I'm so excited to help you identify why you want to go to business school by crafting your story and bringing your experiences to life. Prior to the GSB, I was a technical product manager at Capital One where I led frontend and backend product strategy for the Capital One credit card application for all customers applying for a credit card. As an MBA admissions coach, I will help you dig deep to identify your pivotal experiences and core strengths to create your story. Together we will thread them throughout your application -- from application strategy to recommendations to interview. More specifically, I can provide the following services: - Initial application strategy - Essay brainstorming, essay editing, and final essay review - Recommendations strategy - Final application review - What to expect in an interview / mock interviews - Waitlist strategy - Strategy for applying with a partner I have helped many students and professionals craft their applications, prepare interviews, and receive offers at their target companies and institutions, and I look forward to helping you do the same!

I am a 2021 Wharton graduate, with 2 years of professional MBA coaching experience. During my MBA, I coached 15+ MBA students with career guidance, resume critiques, and interview prep. I first encountered MBA coaching when I was applying to matriculate as an MBA in 2019. At that time, I realized how important an MBA coach could be, not only for the specialized toolset and knowledge base, but also for the encouragement during a high pressure application process. I am motivated to be that source of calm and focus during what can otherwise be a stressful application process. I am excited to dive into your background and help you uncover a narrative that will help you show you stand out to top MBA programs.

Welcome to my profile! I'm an MBA candidate at Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern), in the 1-Year program on a half scholarship. I was also admitted to Wharton / Lauder program on half scholarship (Joseph Wharton fellowship + Lauder fellowship) along with a full-tuition scholarship offer from Darden. Prior to pursuing my MBA, I spent 2 years as a Senior Associate at L.E.K. Consulting and two years as a Middle School Teacher with Teach For America Hawaii. Too many applicants try to figure out what the admissions committees want to hear and don't focus on their own story. I'd love to help you talk through how to bring your authentic story to life in a way that is interested and engaging to help you get offers and maybe some $$$ along with it!

My coaching journey naturally began with my own experience applying to MBA programs both within the US and globally, and I have been able to leverage my unique knowledge to enable students to put their best profile forward for admissions committee. My mix of international and US applications gives me a broader experience base both for students looking to go abroad, or coming from non-traditional US backgrounds. When applying for my MBA, I was dead set on the idea of living abroad and was accepted to Oxford and London Business School in England. A turn of events in my life led me in later application rounds to apply to the Wharton School of Business, a top 3 business school, where I ultimately attended. My successes at these schools, paired with my rejections from Harvard and MIT, enables me to sympathize with your application process and offer real insights based on both the successes and bumps in the road. Another important point is that I myself worked with a third-party coach in preparing my applications, so the dynamic of coaching is not new to me and has enabled me to refine my approach and materials thanks to hundreds of reviews by other experts. My broad experience across schools, and expert-reviewed approach, enables me to truly understand each step they are going through and to empower the students I work to bring forward their best selves.

Hi! I'm a Harvard MBA graduate and received admission through the deferred admit / 2+2 program (with a GMAT of 760). I've had a diverse set of work experiences both before HBS (venture capital, social activism, government) and since (Goldman Sachs, The Economist, and now transitioning into creative work / poetry). I love coaching people and particularly enjoy helping international students, and students from unconventional or underrepresented backgrounds. Funnily I've also had a lot of experience getting rejected from places (across sectors and regions!) - which has taught me a lot about what works, and what doesn't -- and how to stay sane through it all :)
