Why you want to work with us

  • StoryCrafters consultants are not the usual MBA consultants. We’re Ivy-League grads with a primary skill-set in story expertise, bolstered by real world business experience. It’s a rare fusion that other MBA consultants lack.

  • We help differentiate your MBA candidacy by leveraging our backgrounds in screenwriting, marketing and advertising. That’s why we’ve guided our clients to the best acceptance rates among all other MBA consulting firms.

  • We not only offer you unlimited consulting time but save you time with our workflow planning.

  • We guide you in making your story more memorable than other applicants’ so that MBA adcom keeps talking about you before inviting you to interview.


We guide you on school specifics

  • Other MBA consultants feed you information about schools, while we guide you in adjusting your story for each school’s particular ethos.

  • StoryCrafters clients have the best acceptance rates among all MBA admissions consulting firms, to: Harvard HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, Columbia, Kellogg, MIT-SLOAN, Berkeley Haas, Chicago Booth, and Yale SOM.

  • We show you how to integrate narrative techniques into each school’s application, including language, tone, story arcs, and stakes.

  • We help you craft applications tailored to each MBA program’s focus, including leadership, emotional intelligence, international experience, complex finance and technological innovation.

Your story is more than your essays

  • Your story is not limited to your essays - a common misconception. We make sure your story aligns with every aspect of your MBA applications, including: essays, recommendations, resumes, and interviews.

  • The Targeted Brainstormer: we guide you through an unparalleled development process, doing a full inventory of all your best stories, personally, professionally and academically.

  • After figuring out your best stories, we help you divide them between the material that’s best for you to write about, and everything your recommenders cover - in order to achieve the ideal “spread strategy.”
