School Selection Consultation

Are you aiming too high? Too low? Receive personalized feedback on your targeted schools and, if desired, suggestions on other programs you may not even know about.

Benefit from Barbara’s up-to-the-minute market intelligence as well as insight on school cultures from numerous visits to campuses around the world, including: HBS, LBS, Booth, Columbia, Stanford, CEIBS, Kellogg, Sloan, Stern, Haas, Rotman, Tuck, and Cornell Tech.

Essay Strategy and Development

Whether you’re having a tough time getting started or having trouble organizing your thoughts, Barbara will reduce the time you spend staring at a blinking cursor. This Vassar literature major knows how to craft a compelling story that resonates with an admissions reader, starting with the very first sentence.

Barbara will provide guidance on a rough outline, review subsequent drafts and refine your authentic voice in video essays as well.

Persistence Consultation

Have you previously applied to business school admission without the results you wanted? Don’t lose hope! Barbara will analyze your unsuccessful applications and provide recommendations on what to do differently for your next application.

Resume Review

A resume can either strengthen your application or weaken it. Barbara will work with you to develop a resume that paints a more substantial picture of who you are and why that matters. The “before” and “after” scenarios are akin to the weight loss commercials you see on t.v.

MBA Interview Prep

An invitation to interview can feel like you are inching closer to the peak as you hike Mount Kilimanjaro. You’re nearly there, but one wrong step could be consequential. Barbara will increase your confidence and competence through a proven technique called “relational presence” mastered in Speaking Circles.

Waitlist Strategy

Few people like to be in limbo on a waitlist, but you don’t have to stay there. Barbara can help you strategize a plan to strengthen your argument for admission.

Social Media Review

What will admissions officers see if they click on your social media accounts? Does your LinkedIn profile capture your full potential? What should you be tweeting, if anything? Barbara is frequently sought-after for her skills in social media marketing and will make sure you have a professional online presence.
