Who We Are: The Full-Time mbaMission Team

Heidi Granner

Heidi Granner

Senior MBA Admissions Consultant/Senior Career Coach

Chicago Booth MBA and former Admissions Fellow with BCG consulting background and stellar client ratings on Poets&Quants and GMAT Club

How I Can Help You

With more than ten years of experience as a full-time MBA admissions consultant, I have coached applicants to gain more than 250 admissions to Harvard Business School, the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Wharton School, Chicago Booth, Northwestern Kellogg, MIT Sloan, and Columbia Business School. My extensive background in this arena enables me to help applicants understand exactly what each school looks for in the admissions process and how to complete their application with that in mind. My particular skill is working with people who feel they have a difficulty or issue with their application. I am passionate about assisting candidates in uncovering their values, passions, and accomplishments and teaching them to communicate these authentically and powerfully in their applications.

Why Choose Me

I proudly earned recognition as one of Poets&Quants’ Top Ten Admissions Consultants in 2023 and was also recognized for having a perfect client review score in 2021 and 2022. So you can have confidence that you would be working with someone well reviewed by others who were once in your shoes. I was trained in the MBA admissions process as a paid member of Chicago Booth’s admissions team, which gave me valuable insight into how that program makes its admissions decisions. In this selective Admissions Fellow role, I evaluated applications and conducted interviews, so I can now pass along what I learned from this opportunity in my work with you. The diversity of firsthand professional experience I gained at Boston Consulting Group and Citigroup, and as a director of strategy at Wonderful Company, has provided me with a broad perspective that helps me draw out applicants’ accomplishments and differentiators across industries. And as a result of my time in recruiting and as a career coach, I love to help candidates discover, refine, and communicate their career vision clearly in their application.
