About Saurabh

Bio

I'm a former tenure track professor at Carnegie Mellon University, visiting faculty at the University of Chicago Business School, and McKinsey consultant with extensive experience in student advising, mentoring, and teaching.

My primary focus is helping candidates prepare for their case consulting interviews (e.g., McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and refining personal statements for undergraduate and graduate admissions.

I'm a former tenure track professor at Carnegie Mellon University, visiting faculty at the University of Chicago Business School, and McKinsey consultant with extensive experience in student advising, mentoring, and teaching.

My primary focus is helping candidates prepare for their case consulting interviews (e.g., McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and refining personal statements for undergraduate and graduate admissions.

I also offer in-depth tutoring in Data Science, Negotiations, Economics, Psychology, and Econometrics – all subjects I've personally taught at the undergraduate or MBA level at CMU or Chicago Booth.

Personal Statements & Admissions Guidance:
My approach to admissions is informed by over a decade on CMU's PhD admissions committee and my role as Faculty Director for CMU's Behavioral Economics major, where I helped numerous students apply to competitive MBA (e.g., HBS, Booth, Stern), Masters, and PhD programs. I've also guided high school students in preparing their applications for top undergraduate programs (e.g., Harvard, Brown, Princeton). My own admissions journey includes being an early action admit at Harvard and a Presidential Scholar at Stanford (a distinction awarded to the top ~1% of applicants).

My philosophy on admissions is that success is built upon crafting a memorable and authentic narrative. My goal is to partner with you to help discover and clearly articulate your unique story.

Consulting Coaching:
For several years, I've coached undergraduate and MBA students for their case-based interviews at top economic litigation (e.g., Cornerstone, NERA) and strategy consulting (e.g., McKinsey, Bain, and BCG) firms. As a former McKinsey and Cornerstone consultant, I have firsthand experience with recruitment and the interview process at several of these firms.

I also review CVs and resumes for consulting candidates.

Incredibly smart, supportive, and effective.

Saurabh vastly exceeded my expectations, and I will recommend him to everyone. He's supportive, encouraging, and knowledgeable, and he helped me crush my McKinsey interview. I couldn't be happier with the work we did--and the results Saurabh gets speak for themselves! Five stars!!

Gamechanging Advice + Support

Saurabh was phenomenal! He went above and beyond in supporting me through my BCG application and interview process, providing resume advice and help with behaviorals in addition to the help with casing I needed. It’s clear that he spent a lot of time screening resumes and conducting interviews himself; Saurabh was willing to give often-unspoken, tangible advice on the recruiting process and I sincerely recommend him for any prospective consulting applicant. I don’t think I would’ve received an offer, much less made it through this journey, without him.
