Crack the MBA Code.
MBA admissions guidance from someone who's helped decide who gets in.
The Pool Is Getting Wider. The Bar Is Rising Higher. Your Story Matters More Than Ever Before.
A top MBA opens doors to career pivots, global networks, and salary boosts that can transform your trajectory. But every year, it gets harder to stand out:
Top schools are rejecting 85–90% of applicants, including highly qualified candidates.
Average GMAT and GRE scores are rising, pushing the bar higher even for strong performers.
AI tools like ChatGPT have flooded admissions offices with generic, polished-sounding essays.
The good news? Admissions teams aren't just looking for credentials; they're looking for clarity, authenticity, and intent.
Getting in isn't just about a high GMAT score, generic essays or having "results-oriented" bullet points on your resume. It's about building a cohesive, strategic narrative. A story that makes sense of your background, goals, and values. That kind of story doesn't come from templates. It comes from reflection, refinement, and positioning.
That's where DearMBA comes in.

Book a Free ConsultationThis Isn't Admissions Consulting. It's Personal Storytelling, Done Right.
MBA admissions can feel overwhelming, and most firms make it harder by bouncing you between consultants, fitting your story into a standard mold, and giving feedback that's either vague or overly harsh. DearMBA is different.
Here's how:
1. Direct guidance from someone who's been across the table.
You won't be passed off to a junior coach. You'll work directly with me — someone who's been in your shoes and has also sat across the table as an interviewer for one of the world's top MBA programs - Columbia Business School. I know what admissions teams look for, and I'll help you focus your energy where it matters most.
2. No one-size-fits-all approach.
We won't follow a generic template or recycle story arcs. Together, we'll take the time to define the right strategy for you — shaping your unique experiences, goals, and voice into an application that truly stands out. Every part of the process is tailored to who you are and what you're aiming for.
3. Candid, supportive feedback — because I want this for you.
I've been through this journey, and I know how much it means. That's why I care deeply about getting it right with you. My feedback is honest and constructive, always pushing toward the strongest version of your story. But I'm also in your corner — checking in, offering encouragement, and making sure you feel supported from day one through submit.
