Product Gatehouse Admissions Consulting
Consultant Brooke Wheelan
I worked with Brooke as part of my MBA admissions process and had a very positive experience.
I come from a private equity background with a 760 GMAT and a T25 undergraduate degree. When I was choosing an admissions consultant, I was looking for someone who could give an honest read on my candidacy and had a strong pulse on what HBS was actually looking for, especially at the final review and interview stage.
Brooke was extremely honest and direct in her feedback and gave me a clear assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Her insight helped sharpen my positioning and pressure test my narrative so that it aligned with what HBS values, without over engineering the application. I appreciated her judgment on what mattered and what did not.
Her interview prep was a major strength. The mock interviews were specific, challenging, and closely mirrored the real experience, which made the actual interview feel familiar and manageable. Brooke pushed me hard in prep, but it paid off.
I am headed to HBS this fall and felt well prepared going into interviews and final decisions. I would absolutely recommend Brooke to candidates, especially those from finance or PE, who want candid feedback, strong judgment, and high quality interview preparation.
