Your hour with your coach

The 5 Dimensions of your candidacy, one at a time.

Before you meet, your coach reads your resume, your MBAmo readout and what you tell us about your goals, so the whole hour goes to you. These are the five things every admissions committee reads.

  1. Brain Power

    Can you handle the work?

    Your test plan: retake or not, which test, the score to aim for, and the classes that would make your academics stronger.

  2. Career Progress

    Are you growing and making a difference?

    How to show your growth and impact, whether you need an optional essay, and what your recommendation letters must feature.

  3. Passion

    Do you challenge yourself and care about things?

    What you push yourself at outside the job description, and how to show it with depth.

  4. School Fit

    Do you belong at this school?

    Your goal checked against where schools send their graduates, a few companies to know from our MBA Career Report, a strawman school portfolio, and a backup plan.

  5. Character

    Are you a good person?

    Where your stories will come from, and how you and your coach will find them together on your Quest.

Questions people ask

Will we work on my essays?

Not in this hour. Finding your story takes longer, about fifteen hours of work between you and your coach, and that's where every Guided Quest begins, with You Discovery.

How is this different from the free call?

The free 25-minute call is a conversation about what you need. Launchpad is your first working session with your coach, with a plan you keep.

Who will I meet with?

The senior coach we'd match you with for your Guided Quest.

What if I need to reschedule?

You can move your session once with 24 hours' notice. Once the session has happened, it isn't refundable.
