Dozie Ibekwe

Dozie transformed my business school applications. Before working with Dozie, I had strong doubts about whether I could make myself stand out. I considered myself a traditional applicant without a unique story to tell.

Dozie took a great deal of time and effort to understand my distinctive story and perspective. After understanding my background at a holistic level, Dozie and I drilled down on the story I had to tell with each anecdote. Dozie reviewed every single draft of mine, and after each of his reviews, my personal story really started to shine.

Dozie’s greatest talent was his ability to understand my story and guide me to present it in a compelling manner. I would absolutely recommend Dozie!

Dozie helped me prepare for my MIT early admission interview. As a senior student in college, Dozie’s help was very valuable in helping me set the right mindset and approach for the interview with the right perspective. Dozie’s prep questions were straight-forward but fair and definitely helped me to prepare well for my MIT interview. I was very excited when receiving MIT’s admission letter.

I worked with Dozie Ibekwe and his mentorship was game-changing throughout the MBA application process. As an applicant with a non-traditional background in education and law, I was worried about how to position my application and whether my story made sense to business schools. These worries were soon put to rest during my first meeting with Dozie. He has a unique ability to help candidates dig dipper into their stories and draw out gems that might have been dismissed. He helped me draw out experiences that later became my pitch in MBA essays and interviews. Also, he was pivotal in crafting my resume, refining my essays, and helping me come to a decision about which MBA program to enroll. I am grateful for his guidance and ultimately helping me think critically about my career goals and future impact post-MBA.
I highly recommend Dozie especially if you are a candidate with a non-business background.

As an international perspective with a non-traditional MBA background, I was worried my application/profile will be too weak to get into M7 schools. Working with Chiedozie changed my perspective!

Dozie took the time to understand my background, future goals, and application/profile concerns. He reviewed countless essay revisions and my applications to ensure my story/brand was properly communicated.

When I got my HBS and Wharton interviews, Dozie held multiple interview prep sessions and connected me with current students at both programs. He also followed up after both interviews and even reviewed my HBS debrief essay.

Thanks to Dozie’s help, I graduated from Wharton and transitioned to Consulting!

Dozie was a phenomenal coach and provided invaluable advice at all stages of my MBA application process. I decided to apply for an MBA quite late in the application cycle and I had little time outside of work to spend on the brainstorming and critical personal reflection needed to craft an effective essay and application. Dozie was instrumental at helping me to create an effective story and has a knack for pushing you to refine and iterate your narrative to the high standard needed to draw the attention of your target schools. With his help I felt confident that I was putting my best foot forward at all stages, despite the time pressure I was under.
