2026 MBA Admissions Results

The 2026 intake marked one of my strongest years to date, with exceptional outcomes across top MBA programs globally.

  • Maintained a 100% acceptance rate to INSEAD for the 4th consecutive year

  • 100% of M7 applicants were admitted to at least one M7 program

  • 40% of clients received scholarship offers, totaling over $750,000 USD

  • One client secured a full-ride scholarship

  • 100% of clients were admitted to at least one MBA program, with 70% receiving multiple offers

These results are even more meaningful given the starting point. Many clients applied with below-average GPAs or test scores, and approximately 25% were non-traditional applicants—including career switchers, candidates with 7+ years of experience, and those applying during periods of unemployment.

Despite this, every client secured admission to a top program.


Beyond the Results

What stands out most is not just where my clients were admitted—but who they became in the process.

Many began the journey uncertain about their chances. Some had even been told by other consultants that their target schools were unrealistic.

Through clear positioning, structured strategy, and consistent execution, they not only achieved their goals—but often exceeded them.

Watching that transformation—both professionally and personally—is what makes this work so meaningful.
