Consultant Kelsey Kephart
I couldn’t have gone through the MBA application process without Kelsey. Coming from a non-traditional background, I didn’t have many peers or mentors who had gone through this process, and I wasn’t sure how to position my story in a way that would resonate with business schools.
We worked together across every aspect of the application through the comprehensive package - resume, extracurriculars, and essays. While I consider myself a strong storyteller, Kelsey brought a completely different lens. She knows exactly how to shape and frame experiences in a way that aligns with what top MBA programs are looking for.
The biggest improvement I saw was in how cohesive and intentional my story became. What initially felt like a collection of experiences turned into a clear, compelling narrative about who I am, what I’ve done, and where I’m going.
Ultimately, I was accepted to Columbia with a scholarship. Beyond the outcome, what I found most valuable about this process was how much it forced me to reflect deeply on my own journey and clarify what I want in the next phase of my career. That level of introspection is something I’ll carry with me far beyond the application process.
