12 weeks of unlimited AI coachingI found a strong leadership moment in your profile — the budget crisis at Acme Corp. Let's dig deeper: what was the turning point?
Tell me about a time you felt truly out of your depth. "What happened?"
It was my first week as a PM at a fintech startup. The engineering lead quit, and I had to ship a feature I didn't understand. I spent 3 days just reading the codebase until 2am.
Eventually, I realized I didn't need to code it—I needed to unblock the junior devs. We shipped it, but I felt like a "fraud" the whole time.

The Builder
Built by someone who's been there.
"I didn't have a consultant. I didn't have a network. I had a system."
I was a first-gen college student with a below-average GPA. No management title. No network. I grinded 500 hours on the GMAT to compensate. Then I spent months crafting a narrative that turned my 'analyst' job into a strategic advantage. I got into Yale SOM with a scholarship. ChatMBA is the tool I wish I had.

Everything you need to know about ChatMBA
ChatMBA is for MBA applicants who can't afford $10k+ consulting but deserve the same quality of guidance. Specifically:
- →Applicants who don't see their own differentiation — You have interesting experiences, but you can't connect the dots between your background, interests, and ambitions into a compelling narrative
- →First-gen and non-traditional candidates — You don't have a network of MBA friends or alumni to tell you what "good" looks like
- →Multi-school applicants — You're applying to 5+ schools and can't afford to start from scratch every time
If you've ever thought "I don't know how to tell my story" or "I'm not sure what makes me different" — this is for you.
The same things a $10k consultant would give you:
- →Story discovery — We interview you to surface your best experiences, including ones you forgot you had
- →Narrative positioning — We help you figure out what makes you different and how to prove it
- →Gap analysis — We show you what's missing before the admissions committee does
- →Prompt strategy — We help you match your stories to what each school is actually asking
- →Critique and revision — We pressure-test your drafts and show you how to strengthen them
The difference: ChatMBA remembers everything, is available 24/7, and costs a fraction of the price.
ChatGPT doesn't know you. It gives generic advice because it has no context.
ChatMBA builds a complete picture of your background, your stories, and your goals — then uses that context to give you specific, personalized guidance. It's the difference between asking a stranger for advice and working with someone who's read your entire file.
ApplicantLab teaches you what good essays look like. That's valuable, but it can't do the hard part: turn your life into evidence.
ChatMBA does the hard part. It interviews you, extracts your stories, shows you what's missing, and helps you apply the same proof across multiple schools.
A great consultant helps you find your best stories and pressure-test your narrative. ChatMBA does the same thing — with three advantages:
- →Perfect memory — It never forgets a detail from your story bank
- →Always available — No scheduling, no waiting for email replies
- →Fraction of the cost — Consultant-quality guidance without the $10k+ price tag
It won't replace human judgment for everything (networking strategy is still on you), but it handles the most time-intensive consultant work.
No. And that's intentional.
ChatMBA will never generate a full essay draft. Here's why: full drafts encourage generic, AI-sounding writing that hides weak evidence under polished prose. Admissions committees can spot it.
Instead, we help you with:
- →Prompt analysis — What is the school really asking?
- →Outlines — What should each paragraph accomplish?
- →Claim-evidence mapping — What proof supports each claim?
- →Critique — Where is this weak, generic, or off-target?
- →Revision guidance — How do you make it specific, human, and credible?
You write the essay. We make sure it's built on solid proof.
You do. You just can't see them yet.
Most applicants undervalue their own experiences because they're too close to them. The project that felt "routine" to you might actually demonstrate exactly what a school is looking for. The challenge you overcame might be more impressive than you realize.
ChatMBA helps you see your experiences the way an admissions committee would — connecting dots between your background, interests, and ambitions that you might miss on your own. That's what great consultants do, and it's often the most valuable part of the process.
Your stories are universal. Your framing changes per school.
ChatMBA helps you:
- →Build your story bank once
- →See which stories fit which prompts across your entire portfolio
- →Create school-specific outlines without re-doing the discovery work
This is one of the biggest advantages over working alone — you're not starting from scratch for every application.
Yes. Paste in messy notes, rough drafts, or anything else you've written. ChatMBA will extract the underlying stories and help you turn them into reusable material.
No. No one can guarantee admission.
What we can do is dramatically improve the quality of what you submit — your evidence, your narrative clarity, and the alignment of your materials. Those are the things you can control.
The Bottom Line
What makes ChatMBA different from doing it alone.
Perfect Memory
Never forgets a story you've shared — recalls it across every school and session.
Always Available
No scheduling, no waiting. Iterate at 2am if you want.
Incredibly Accessible
Full application round for $149.99. Not $10k.
