Many of our clients are admitted to HBS, GSB and Wharton. Rather than writing anything about ourselves here in this post, I'll leave it to our clients to speak about their experiences. You can see our former clients on video at Menlo Coaching MBA case studies, where they discuss both their experience working with us, and some tips for future applicants based on what they learned as they went through the process.

Because you mention non-traditional backgrounds, I'll flag a few specific cases of admits from outside the traditional paths such as finance and consulting:

1. Lauren (HBS) was an engineer working in supply chains.
2. Arika (GSB) had a full-time role in the entertainment industry, and alongside this, an entrepreneurial venture in primary education.
3. Victor (HBS, GSB, Wharton triple admit) was an entrepreneur who started a media agency.
4. Bulgan (GSB) was from a smaller country in Asia and worked in international development.

Of course, there are many more case studies available, and from that page you can click the "Stories" section if you'd like to filter by school, filter by pre-MBA background, or see longer (10+ minute) case studies that go into more detail about the decisions these applicants made during the process.
