Introducing the Crimson Launchpad

Our flagship – and most popular – enrollment plan, our ‘Launchpad’ is your all-access pass to stress-free applications, placing you directly in the expert hands of our seasoned coaches.

Enjoy boundless coaching sessions, receive bespoke, expert guidance, and let us manage your entire application roadmap. Meticulously designed to transform your business schools aspirations into reality, our coaches provide you with an all-encompassing suite of services tailored to elevate every aspect of your application.

Building Foundations

We assess your profile across multiple dimensions in the first weeks, identifying growth areas and developing a comprehensive plan to elevate your application. Together, we'll focus on critical elements for a standout MBA application, setting the foundation for your journey.

Program & Career Mapping

We'll get real about your post-degree dreams, blending past experiences with future aspirations into a personalized game plan. After reviewing your profile and defining your career vision, we'll identify MBA programs that fit both your goals and pre-MBA profile, providing unique insights to ensure success in admissions and beyond.

Personal Branding & Storytelling

We help craft a powerful narrative by uncovering overlooked experiences that become cornerstone stories making you stand out. We prioritize highlights and identify elements to defocus, ensuring your story resonates with clarity and authenticity while aligning with your MBA aspirations in a competitive landscape.

Essay Writing

Business schools essays bridge the gap between a candidate's past achievements and future aspirations with the ethos of your target programs. We’ll be with you on every single step, including for the new wave of alternative essays such as video essays and presentations that top programs are increasingly requesting. Our internal Admissions Committee of seasoned business leaders, former admissions officers and MBA coaches collegially reviews all applicant essays before submission.

Resume Development

Applicants often underestimate their CV, focusing instead on essays while treating this crucial document as an afterthought. This mistake significantly diminishes your chances, as your CV is the only component every admissions committee member will review. We'll work with you to transform your CV into a standout document, and we'll also meticulously refine your professional CV, tailoring it to highlight your strengths and achievements in the most impactful way.

Letters of Recommendation

The strategic selection of referees and the crafting of compelling letters of recommendation are pivotal elements that influence the admissions committee's perception of your application. We will help you identify the best referees and work closely with both you and your referee to develop a storyline for each recommendation letter that complements your application. When necessary, we also provide editing support to refine these recommendations.

Interview Coaching

We provide intensive interview preparation covering common questions, rare scenarios, and effective follow-up strategies. Using insights from past applicants and comprehensive client interview reports, we ensure complete readiness. Our preparation includes at least two mock interviews, giving you unwavering confidence for your official school interview.

Post-Acceptance Decision

Choosing the right program can be daunting. We're here to offer unbiased guidance and thoughtful consideration, helping you make the most informed decision. We also help you negotiate better financial aid and scholarship packages.
