My Story

Hey, I’m Angel! I was born and raised in California, and graduated from UCLA with a degree in Communication. After exploring management consulting, technical proposal writing, and finance at NASA, I had my sights set on business school. I was disheartened when all of my meticulous study strategies, hours upon hours of practice tests, and healthy habits only brought me to below-Harvard-average GRE test scores. After taking the GRE multiple times, I acknowledged that I was running out of time and I pivoted to the remaining parts of my application.

I poured my heart and soul into my essays, and after receiving invitations to interview, I gained admission into Harvard, Wharton, and Columbia! I realized that writing and interviewing can be an applicant’s greatest power. After speaking with several Harvard Business School students, alumni, and admissions team members, I confirmed that it’s not the test scores that makes someone special — it’s their story. I hope to help other people who may be doubting themselves in this grueling, yet rewarding, journey. Let’s unlock the power of your story!
