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.
