At Gatehouse Admissions, we take pride in our team members’ caliber, coaching skills, and compassion.

Our Consultants earned MBAs from three of the most competitive business schools: Harvard Business School (HBS), the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. We believe that the key to effectively coaching someone through the application process for any MBA program—let alone a top-ranked one—lies in having successfully navigated it oneself.

As MBAs, we are driven, ambitious, and focused on reaching our singular goal: your acceptance to your target business school.

As coaches, we are passionate about helping others understand and ultimately realize their potential.

When you bring together a group of determined, sharp, and caring MBAs, you can do amazing things. (Trust us, you will see this for yourself once you arrive at business school.) What this means at Gatehouse is that you benefit not only from our having already walked the path you are just now beginning but also from our relentless and collaborative focus on ensuring that our processes, tools, and insights are the best in the industry.
