Yale SOM, Duke Fuqua, and UCLA Anderson.
Landing admits from three top-tier MBA programs gave Vedant the ultimate luxury of choice: a position every applicant dreams of being in.
But behind these amazing results lies a journey of deliberate strategy and relentless execution.
After moving to the US for his bachelors, he graduated from UCLA and joined McKinsey as a Business Analyst, focusing on healthcare and pharmacy services, a complex domain he leaned into early.
Within two years, he earned a promotion to Senior Business Analyst, leading teams on marquee client engagements.
With a plan to deepen his business acumen, hone his leadership skills and get back to McKinsey post-MBA, he set his sights on prestigious East Coast MBA programs.
Vedant’s profile was strong, but it was also competitive. A consultant from a top firm isn’t rare in the applicant pool. His work experience (~3 years) was lower than the class average for these schools, and his GMAT score, while strong, sat right around their median.
Beyond his stats, what helped him stand out was his deep pharmacy expertise within consulting, his multi-faceted personality (from leading 180 Degrees Consulting at UCLA to founding Bruin Hindus and earning a karate black belt), and his authentic narrative on how an MBA would elevate his consulting career.
As we dove into the applications, each required a tailored angle: Yale’s compact essays demanded emotional intelligence, Fuqua’s famous ‘25 Random Things’ became a highlight (featuring everything from ice-blocking at UCLA to predicting the Succession finale), and UCLA’s community essay required getting hyper-specific about the school’s resources.
We then simulated mock interviews to ensure his authentic voice carried through in his conversations with the AdComs.

Hope this helps!
