Holistic MBA Profile Evaluation
This package is for applicants who want a clear, honest read of your candidacy before committing to a full MBA application process. The purpose is not to give you generic encouragement. The purpose is to help you understand what is actually strong in your profile, what may raise questions, where you are under-positioning yourself, and what changes would most improve your odds. In this session, we will take 60 minutes to walk through your background to date, why you're looking to enroll in an MBA program, how you're thinking about the major elements of your application and look through any existing materials you may have already. We will evaluate your candidacy the way an admissions strategist would: academics, test score, career progression, leadership, extracurriculars, goals, school fit, differentiators, and risk factors. Based on this, we will then talk through your options for applying, timelines, and recommendations for elevating your application. Please note: Prior to our meeting, please share with me your resume, LinkedIn profile, undergraduate GPA, and GMAT/GRE scores (if available).
What's included
- Understanding into how admissions will evaluate your candidacy as it stands today
- Actionable suggestions for improving your application/profile
- Profile differentiation ideas based on your background and peer applicant pool
- Recommended next steps for application timing, story development, resume, essays, recommenders, and profile building

Becky S.
I’m Becky Song, a Wharton MBA, former Wharton admissions fellow, professional admissions and career coach, and Founder & Executive Director of Ivy Journey (theivyjourney.com). Over the past 15+ years, I’ve helped hundreds of applicants and professionals earn admission to top MBA, master’s, and college programs, as well as land offers across consulting, strategy, and business roles. My clients have been admitted to top MBA programs (e.g., HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Booth, LBS, Insead, etc.) and top Ivy undergrad & grad programs. I’ve also coached 500+ candidates through career transitions, resumes, interviews, consulting recruiting, and personal positioning. What makes my coaching different is the combination of admissions judgment, career strategy, and narrative positioning. I help clients understand what schools and employers are really evaluating, then translate their background into a clear, differentiated story that feels authentic and compelling. I’m especially strong with MBA applicants, college applicants, master’s candidates, international applicants, first-generation applicants, consulting candidates, and professionals making major career pivots. Personally, I’ve navigated several pivots myself: actuary, nonprofit leader, strategy consultant, Wharton MBA, admissions fellow, founder, and career coach. If you want a coach who can help you think strategically, sharpen your story, and move through a competitive process with more clarity and confidence, I’d love to work with you!
