I'm Madalynn! I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Global Politics from Washington and Lee University, a top 20 liberal arts school in the US. After graduating, I studied for a certificate in Sustainable Finance from the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership while working full-time for 3 years at a top management consulting firm. I also have professional experience in investment banking. I am no stranger to a challenge! Presently, I am a Master's student of International Relations at Syracuse University. Throughout my academic and professional careers, over the past 10 years, I have acted as a tutor and advisor for college applications, personal statements, and career coaching, mainly with high school- and college-aged students. I have helped students map out their essays, edited grammar, reviewed resumes, and held mock interviews.

The college and graduate school application process can be daunting, but you are not alone! I have gone through both processes, helped others on their journeys, and have personally received acceptances and scholarships from a wide variety of institutions—from large state schools and research institutions to small liberal arts colleges. I can help at any step of your journey, whether you are deciding upon schools, crafting your resume, brainstorming essay topics, or need some final proofreading. My passion is working with you to ensure your application lets all of your hard work and personality shine. My tutoring style is extremely collaborative, and due to the nature of the work and the individual approach I like to take with each student, I believe one-on-one sessions are best. When signing up for a personal statement session, you can expect me to bring a framework for your first draft for us to have a conversation about and decide upon a topic. If you already have a draft, you can expect me to complete a thorough review and walk through every edit I propose. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a session!

Career Development

Career Development

Having navigated career recruitment in investment banking and management consulting, followed by a jump-start consulting career in which I received 2 promotions in under 3 years, I have learned the keys to success in finance and corporate careers. I am highly versed in resume creation, career navigation, and corporate relationship building, with over 6 years of advisory experience. I have helped many undergraduate students and recent grads determine the best roles for their passions and skillsets, as well as assisted them as they approached corporate networking and interview prep. I specialize in technical and case interviews, with a personal repository of over 25 cases and hundreds of technical questions tested with 10+ students to date.
College Counseling

College Counseling

Having navigated the undergraduate- and graduate-level college application and decision processes and received hundreds of thousands of dollars of scholarship funding, I have an understanding of what makes an application successful and how to best prepare oneself for success in higher education. Over the past 7+ years, I have also helped others in their college processes, from identifying schools of interest and crafting applications to making the college decision that best suits the student academically, financially, and personally. I am available to advise on all aspects of the application (e.g., resumes, personal statements) and application process.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I am a graduate of a top 20 liberal arts university and current graduate student at the #1 school for public affairs with extensive personal and external experience with college application essays and personal statements. I have personally drafted over 25 effective personal statements and essays and have assisted others with application statements and achieving acceptances to dream schools for over 8 years. My forte is in guiding students in drafting application essays that allow the applicant's personality and ambitions to clearly shine through. I also graduated with a 3.8 GPA from a writing-intensive undergraduate program and have extensive grammatical and diction editing experience.
