Working with Ben has fundamentally re-shaped my worldview and has been the greatest thing to happen to me during the MBA journey. Ben's guidance, patience, wisdom, and overall mentorship has been crucial to ensuring that I not only turned in my best applications, but I felt empowered to chase after my dreams and live a career that I'm truly passionate about.

Big thanks to Avi for helping me get into my number one choice, Stanford GSB--with a scholarship! I started working with Avi during the summer, working first on the main narrative, taking his sharp edits and using them to craft my personal story. He is effective in understanding your strengths and presenting them effectively. Highly recommend it!

I cannot express how thankful I am to have worked with a consultant as talented and attentive as Amy. She excels in her capability to revise and polish one’s work, coach and explain exactly what the school is looking for, and in giving feedback in a timely and efficient manner, making her a true triple threat.

I worked with Camden on my applications to HBS and GSB. I was impressed how much time Camden invested in my applications, everything from the overall story of my application, to my essays, to my resume. He was thoughtful, strategic, and provide great advice throughout the process.

Truly has your best interests in mind. I got into GSB with a non-traditional background and it would not have been possible without Ben.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should sign up for the bootcamp?

Anyone serious about getting into a top 10 business school. We do everything we can to get you as prepared as possible to navigate this competitive application process.  

What if I’m not applying this year? 

The earlier you are, the more time you have to prepare. The number one mistake that applicants make is not giving themselves enough time to strengthen their application. This bootcamp is a great way to avoid that and make sure you're starting off on the right foot.

What will I learn?

This bootcamp is designed to fully equip you for acceptance to a top MBA program. By the end of the 8 sessions, you will: 
- have a clear idea of the best narrative and app strategy for your background and goals.
- know who to select for your recommenders and have completed a polished recommender prep doc.
- have an outline for your MBA essays and have started drafting them for multiple schools.
- understand how to ace your MBA interviews with live prep sessions and custom feedback.
- feel comfortable navigating your target schools' specific applications.
- ... and more! 
‍
The curriculum also includes custom assignments and personalized interactive activities for maximum impact. Business schools are competitive, but this bootcamp will give you all the tools you need to stand out.

How does this bootcamp work with coaching?

The bootcamp is beneficial for both people with and without an MBA coach.
‍
If you don’t have a coach, this course will give you a strong foundation that you can build on with a coach after the bootcamp or on your own. You’ll hear from expert coaches, and make meaningful progress on every part of the application. If you do have a coach, this course will give you a structured learning experience and diverse suite of perspectives, as well as custom activities that you can then take to the next level with your coach.

If you'd like coaching but aren't sure where to start, get a custom coach match.

I’m applying deferred, will this bootcamp be relevant?

Much of the content will be relevant but if you’re applying deferred, we highly recommend signing up for the Deferred MBA Bootcamp in January 2025. Reserve your spot.
