Who this is for
You have a draft. It’s not garbage, but you’re not sure if it’s working. You want a second set of eyes from someone who got into Stanford GSB deferred, has coached applicants into HBS, Wharton, and Stanford, and understands what makes a deferred applicant’s story different from a traditional MBA applicant’s.
This is not for essays you haven’t started. It’s for essays you’re ready to improve.

What students say
Real feedback. Real admits.
“I worked with Oba for both career coaching and my Stanford GSB app. He helped me get my BCG offer, then coached me through my whole MBA application. His advice on how to frame my story made a huge difference. Oba has this skill where he helps you look at your experiences in a new way and explain them so they actually connect. I wouldn’t be at Stanford without him.”
“Oba’s coaching was key for my CBS deferred admit. He helped me build a story that actually made sense, coached my recommenders on what to focus on, and showed me how to tell my story better. Having his support through the whole process gave me the confidence I needed to get in.”
“Oba basically walked me through everything. We spent a lot of time figuring out what my actual story was, what was worth writing about and what wasn't. He drilled me on mock interviews too, gave helpful feedback. I got into Stanford GSB. Honestly don't think I get in without him.”
Common questions
What does each package cover?
Single School covers all required essays for one program. The Three-School Bundle covers all required essays for three programs — submit each school’s essays together after purchasing. Both packages include one Loom walkthrough where Oba opens all your essays and talks through his edits and feedback in one video.
What schools do you cover?
All 16 current deferred MBA programs: Stanford GSB, Harvard Business School (2+2), Wharton, Chicago Booth, Columbia Business School, MIT Sloan, Kellogg, Berkeley Haas, Yale SOM, UVA Darden, Cornell Johnson, Carnegie Mellon Tepper, Georgetown McDonough, UCLA Anderson, Emory Goizueta, Indiana Kelley, and more.
How do I submit my essays?
After purchasing, you’ll be directed to a submission form. You’ll share a Google Doc link for each essay along with the prompt, your target school, and a brief background note.
Is this different from full coaching?
Yes. Full coaching covers the entire process — narrative development, all essays, recommenders, school research, and interview prep. An essay review is a focused turnaround for applicants who are already deep in the process and need targeted feedback.
