At the beginning of my career, I worked in strategy and marketing analysis for over 6 years in financial services. I am a graduate of Stern School of Business and have been working at one of the top strategy consulting firms since I graduated in 2016. I am passionate about numbers and analysis, so I created this website to answer all the questions an MBA applicant would want answered. My undergraduate degree was in engineering, but I was 2 classes short of a double major in applied math and statistics.
My goal with this site is to provide an unbiased and data-driven resource for those applying to MBAs, particularly to more competitive programs. I’ve been through the process myself and know how difficult it is, not only to put together the application, but even to get a clear understanding of your chances at different programs. I hope I can provide some interesting insights that are also strategically useful as you decide where to apply and how to approach the process. I will be focusing on the top 25 schools because they are the schools people are most interested in and they have the most data available. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or requests for new analyses.
The data used to create the analysis on this website comes from several main sources: GMAT Club’s Decision Tracker, ClearAdmit’s MBA LiveWire, and Poets&Quants’ MBA Admissions Consulting Directory. Combining a few data sources allows me to get a more representative picture of the MBA admissions landscape than just using one. Even so, these sources can only account for a small percentage of total applicants, and may be biased in various ways. Therefore, the results of my analyses should always be taken with a grain of salt, but I make them as robust as possible and comment on potential biases or anomalies when relevant.
