Rishan S.
Ivy League and Oxbridge Admissions Essay Expert
I help MBA and postgrad applicants break into M7 and Oxbridge programs with a strong narrative, essays that sound like you, and a strategy built on how these schools think. I also work with a select number of undergraduate applicants each cycle. As a Cambridge and LSE admit myself, I've experienced firsthand what these selection processes look for and I've spent 10+ years reverse-engineering what consistently works across Ivy, M7 and Oxbridge programs. 100+ admits. Millions in scholarship funding secured. I find what makes a candidate compelling, often things they haven't articulated themselves and build it into a narrative top programs remember. My own background spans consulting, startups, government, and nonprofits, which helps me find the thread in almost any profile. Wins include a low-GPA admit to Harvard MBA and an Oxford admit with 100% tuition funding. I am especially helpful to: - Experienced professionals from consulting, banking, and industry who have done more than their application currently shows - Nontraditional candidates without cookie-cutter GPAs or test scores looking to highlight strengths in other areas - International and minority applicants who want someone who gets their background from the inside - Undergrad applicants whose transcript doesn't tell the whole story - Waitlisted or rejected applicants who want to make a compelling case through informal channels What I do - School selection and programme strategy - End-to-end essay and personal statement development — SOP, CV and beyond - Interview preparation - Scholarship and fellowship application support
