Sara’s MBA Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
I did a lot of research into which MBA programs I wanted to apply to and why. When applying, I carefully crafted a strategy centered around acing the GMAT exam and applying early to my top schools. In the end, I was able to get through the admissions process by getting admitted early into my top school, and in the end, I only had to apply to 3 programs. I was able to navigate this process with a great degree of optimization and I think a lot of that was because I had a clear vision for why I wanted to do my MBA and what I wanted to get out of it. Because I took the time to reflect on my story, I was able to put my best foot forward in my applications and experience great success. I'll now be matriculating to an M7 program this year.

Why do I coach?
Having navigated the MBA admissions process with little guidance, I’m passionate about helping others learn from my experiences and gain the insights I wish I had during my own application journey. I recognize that crafting a compelling narrative takes time, and I’m eager to assist students in framing their stories to present their best selves in their applications. I believe that the application process is also about optimization; I successfully gained admission to my target school with just two applications, and I want to help prospective students streamline their strategies. Additionally, I understand the challenges of the GMAT, and I’m excited to share my best practices to help others succeed.
