Passionate About Helping Others Get admitted into Stanford GSB
The time I spent at Stanford GSB was the most enjoyable, inspiring and enriching time in my life.
I started GSB Coach to help others succeed in what once seemed almost impossible to me: Getting admitted to the most selective business school in the world.
I was an international applicant, with ok grades but not stellar. Good English but an obvious accent. I was an engineer and wasn't sure exactly what leadership means and how to demonstrate it. I never really had to write an application essay before.
After familiarizing myself with the different top MBA programs, it became clear to me that Stanford will be the best fit for me. But how do I convince them? Do I even have a chance? My credentials were average, but I knew that there is one thing going for me: I was determined to win and I was willing to work the hardest.
The application journey was long and excruciating. But as I progressed, I realized that the "Application" is a craft that could be mastered. It's a new and important skill that I am learning. How to market myself. How to go after a dream and get it. I even learned to enjoy the process.
Over the years, after graduating from GSB, those skills served me well in my career. Wanting to give back to the wonderful Stanford community, I served as an interviewer, and helped many applicants with their applications.
At GSB Coach I offer a more deep, structured and meaningful coaching experience to applicants. Especially the non-trivial ones who are not sure if they should even apply.
To keep the experience exceptional and enjoyable to both of us, I work with a very small number of applicants.
