Timothy has helped clients get into these schools:

As a former M7 Admissions Director, I help you craft authentic, powerful applications that stand out and get results. Since 2017, I’ve helped hundreds of MBA-hopefuls get accepted to top MBA programs across full-time, executive, and part-time programs and I look forward to helping you do the same. 93% of my clients achieve MBA success and more than half secure scholarships averaging $180K. I served on Columbia Business School’s admission committee, where I reviewed countless applications, interviewed candidates, managed the world-wide interview program, served as a waitlist manager, and managed the dual degree programs for the Law, Medical, and Journalism schools. Thereafter, I transitioned into finance, with stints at a hedge fund, a large bank, and in venture capital. Yet, even as I built my career, I missed the part I loved most - helping candidates craft their stories. I returned to the admissions world as a coach. On the other side of the admissions journey, I saw critical gaps in the application process: limited guidance around testing, the challenge of telling narratives within the confines of a few essays and a resume is challenging, and how admissions committees can seem like a black box. My mission reflects these gaps - offer best-in-class advice, work closely with a small number of candidates, and provide personal partnership to every client.

About Timothy

✔ Former CBS adcom ✔ 93% admit rate, $180K avg. scholarships ✔ Proven success: Helped clients go from rejection to admits at HBS & GSB ✔ Friendly but direct: I give honest, clear feedback to help you grow ✔ You’ll walk away with confidence and a clear strategy I’m a former Columbia Business School admissions officer turned MBA coach. I’ve helped 300+ clients gain admission to top programs including HBS, Stanford, Wharton, INSEAD, and LBS, CBS, Booth, Kellogg, and more! At Columbia, I reviewed thousands of applications, managed the global interview program, and oversaw the dual-degree admissions with the Law, Medical, and Journalism schools. I now bring that insider perspective to help you stand out. Whether you’re early in the process or polishing final drafts, I offer sharp strategic guidance, no-fluff feedback, and full support across resume, essays, school strategy, interviews, and more. Let’s craft a story and application that feels authentic and gets results.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know how isolating the MBA application process can feel and how transformative the right guidance can be. As the first in my family to attend college, I’ve seen the power of education firsthand. Later, as an admissions officer at Columbia Business School, I saw how often strong candidates struggled to tell their stories in a way that resonated. Coaching lets me change that. I partner with applicants to help them clarify who they are, what they want, and why they belong at the world’s best business schools.
