You’re applying to the most selective business schools. Choose the best MBA Admissions Consultant.
You have the ambition. The drive. The substance. But at the highest level, MBA admissions is about distinction—and standing out takes more than just strong credentials.
As a former AdCom, I know exactly what makes candidates rise to the top at the world’s best MBA programs. I help you shape your story with clarity, strategy, and integrity—so your application isn’t just strong, it’s undeniable.
Partnering with a Former MBA AdCom and Top 10 MBA Admissions Consultant takes you from “almost” to “accepted.”
I’m Petia Whitmore. For the last 16 years, MBA Admissions has been my life and career.
My journey started as an eager GMAT test taker and MBA candidate ready to take on the test and then the world. As an MBA student, I dreamed of entrepreneurship, starting an empire, leading an enterprise. A few years later, I became Dean of MBA Admissions at Babson College, where my team worked with MBA candidates from every part of the world on their road to business school.
Fast forward again and after spending a couple of years at EAB, the world’s leading enrollment marketing firm, and helping them build an enrollment marketing program for graduate schools, I became Managing Director of The MBA Tour, a subsidiary of the Graduate Management Admissions Council. There, I worked with every top business school to help them reach the strongest MBA candidates - candidates like you!
When you work with me, you’re operating at the intersection of clarity, conviction, and real strategy.
When you’re applying to top MBA programs, you can’t afford blind spots. And you definitely can’t afford to drown in the endless noise surrounding MBA admissions — half of it recycled, much of it wrong. That’s where I come in.
I’m Petia Whitmore — former Dean of MBA Admissions and founder of My MBA Path. I’ve been the gatekeeper and the gate opener. I know what matters, what doesn’t, and how to tell the difference. Whether your application needs a better roadmap, a tune-up, or a total rebuild, I help you cut through the fog and move forward — fueled by insight, not overwhelm or worse, guesswork.
This work is personal to me. I care deeply about every candidate I take on, and — according to those who’ve worked with me — the level of effort and strategic thought I invest is one of a kind.
This isn’t about polish for polish’s sake. It’s about getting clear, getting sharp, and getting admitted.
In 2024, I was named Top 10 MBA Admissions Consultant worldwide for my ability to transform uncertainty into clarity and turn potential into a polished application.
In 2025, I was named Top 5 MBA Admissions Consultant worldwide with a perfect client satisfaction score.
As your chief facilitator on the way to successful business school admission, I bring a combination of experiences that is hard to match. I’m a former Dean of MBA Admissions and a former Managing Director of The MBA Tour. This means I have extensive, firsthand experience working with thousands of candidates from every corner of the world and with every leading MBA program in the United States and Europe.
As the founder of My MBA Path, I am a proud member of AIGAC - the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants, a highly selective group of MBA admissions experts who have been vetted for quality and integrity.
But what does all this mean for you?
A High-Touch, Personalized Experience – I don’t do one-size-fits-all consulting. I take the time—as many conversations as needed—to understand your story, strengths, and aspirations so we can build an application that is both strategic and deeply authentic.
A Liberating Approach to Your Story – I’ve spent years in executive leadership and admissions, and I know talent comes in many forms. I don’t believe in squeezing you into a narrow mold. Instead, I help you uncover the most compelling way to present your unique potential.
A Process That Feels Energizing, Not Draining – My candidates often tell me that not only did they not feel stressed, they actually looked forward to our meetings. Some even describe writing their essays as a joyful process. Why? Because when you have clarity, the work becomes exciting.
Strategic Positioning That Sets You Apart – Admissions isn’t about checking boxes; it’s about standing out. And no one understands what truly sets a candidate apart better than a former AdCom.
Expert-Level Feedback, Every Step of the Way – Essays, resumes, interviews—I provide precise, high-caliber insights that sharpen your application and give you the confidence to submit with no regrets.
I’ve created a unique consulting service that helps MBA candidates like you find and walk the path you feel you’re meant to through focused conversations, individualized feedback, and actionable advice.
