Applied year before was rejected without interview at nearly every school.
Admitted to Wharton Business School, MBA & $60,000 in aid from Yale
This candidate had a solid profile, but had followed advice he found online about using a mix of experiences from college, ECAs and work. As a result, he hadn’t picked his strongest experiences and also hadn’t thought about how to position himself. We identified his most interesting experiences, which also demonstrated his tremendous interpersonal skills in very testing environments. This was important for Wharton, as it particularly values strong interpersonal skills.
Weaving together his experiences in different government projects, we differentiated him, showcased his strengths in all the different application criteria and developed a compelling career goal.

Admitted to London Business School, Masters in Management
When this candidate came to us he was entering the second year of college. We strengthened his profile by suggesting a research paper, and brainstormed on topics and mentors. The paper stood out for its very unique analysis, and this work also strengthen his LORs. We also suggested how he could add internships and volunteerships, proposing projects he could do for each. He also founded a company, and we suggested ways he could make his proposition and testing stronger. For his essays, we highlighted his unique personal and family background and identified key themes in his college and work experiences that made him stand out – from how he learned to identify trust levers to handling nationalist rhetoric.

Admitted to Master’s in Computer Science, Columbia University
Getting into a Master’s in Computer Science, without an undergraduate degree in CS is very difficult. What worked was carefully identifying programs that would consider his application, and then networking with the schools to start pitching himself early on and get feedback. He also gained a detailed understanding of their programs, which helped us tailor his essays.
Brainstorming extensively, we positioned his past work experience to craft a narrative that demonstrated that he had the skills, knowledge and passion to be successful.

Admitted to Harvard Business School, MBA
This candidate had a solid profile, but she had gaps in her leadership experience and her profile was not differentiated. We brainstormed on what she could do at work, and came up with three significant initiatives that formed part of her key narrative. These included two initiatives at the India office and 1 initiative that was global.
To create a unique and powerful narrative, we weaved together her insights from her personal experiences, her career in banking and consulting and her many different volunteer experiences in college and beyond.
