Ethan Walsh
Haas admissions isn't just about grades and SAT scores — it's about demonstrating business curiosity and leadership potential. I help you build the profile that gets you in.
About Ethan
Haas at Berkeley is one of the most competitive undergrad business programs in the world, and I know exactly what they're looking for: intellectual curiosity, demonstrated business interest, and a clear sense of where you want to go. Not a vague 'I want to make money' story, but a specific vision.
I specialize in helping students applying to business programs at Haas, Ross, Stern, and Booth who know they want business but need help articulating why — and why now. I also work with students who want to transfer into these programs or who are building business-related extracurriculars from scratch. One session with me will completely change how you think about positioning yourself.

Student Reviews
Ethan's mock interview was incredibly realistic. He pushed back on everything I said and made me defend my choices with specifics. When I got to my actual Wharton interview, it felt easy.
I didn't know how to write about wanting to go into business without sounding shallow. Ethan helped me trace my interest back to a specific moment and build the story from there. It completely transformed my essay.
Ethan knew exactly what Wharton looks for. He helped me understand the program's specific values and tailor every essay to speak to them directly. Strategic and specific — exactly what I needed.
