Stacy Blackman Consulting
United States
Esther received a joint Masters Degree in Business (MBA) and Public Health (MPH) at the Anderson School, UCLA. In addition to consulting for MBA applicants, Esther spearheads philanthropic and community endeavors. For her annual “Bundles of Happiness” project, Esther has secured over $900,000 of product donations from major companies, including Disney, the Dodgers, and CBS, for distribution to gravely-ill children throughout the West Coast. With her marketing savvy, Esther has a compelling way of communicating the strategic benefits of her charitable initiatives to top business leaders. Similar in scope is her Holiday Angels program, where she successfully retains 120 generous benefactors annually to fulfill wishes of terminally-ill patients. Esther’s finesse lies in her ability to position her programs in ways that uniquely resonate as a “win- win” to her audiences. Applying her marketing acumen to benefit thousands of ill children has been Esther’s passion for two decades. Esther’s other professional experiences include Senior Strategy and Marketing Consultant roles at an innovative medical device company and integrated healthcare institution. In those roles, Esther has created winning business plans, financial reports, strategic analyses, corporate position statements and sales-driven proposals.
The trailblazer in MBA admissions consulting is the team at Stacy Blackman Consulting (SBC). No other firm has demonstrated not only staying power for over two decades but also built a top-tier team of consultants with bios that would impress even the most discerning MBA applicant. Their real-world MBA admissions committee expertise enables SBC consultants to assess client applications with the seasoned insight of those who’ve served on the admissions teams at the world’s most competitive schools. The firm proudly boasts over two dozen former admissions committee members from every top MBA program, the highest number of any firm, as Poets&Quants highlighted in, Bragging Rights: This MBA Admissions Consulting Firm Boasts The Most Former M7 Adcoms. SBC’s online track record includes being ranked as the #1 MBA admissions firm on MBAinsight, ClearAdmit, CollegeConsensus, ExamStrategist, and BeattheGMAT.
The SBC All-In Service
The majority of our clients choose our All-In package because they understand that the competitive admissions process demands a stellar and strategic application at every level. Essays, interviews, school visits, recommendation letters, and resumes are all guided by an integrated strategy, managed through our All-In service by one dedicated and accountable consultant.
SBC’s All-In Service includes 8 modules:
1) The SBC System™ begins with meticulous matchmaking before we begin an engagement or accept payment.
2) Personal Assessment & Critical Reflection. Your primary consultant will work to understand you authentically along multiple dimensions and create a strategy reflecting what MBA programs are looking for. Your consultant will dig into the who, what, how and why that forms your story through our 360° Personal Orbit ™.
3) We’ll develop a winning personal MBA Application Strategy that answers clearly, “Why should I accept this applicant over the other ones who look equally qualified on paper?”
4) Personal branding is crucial for making your MBA application stand out, and admissions teams love a well-crafted story. Your consultant will help you develop a compelling and cohesive narrative that ties together every aspect of your application—resume, essays, recommendations, and more—tailored to meet each school’s unique expectations.
5) Your success is driven by a collaborative SBC team effort. Your primary consultant taps into a network of former admissions officers and experts for additional insights and you receive exclusive access to The Vault, a comprehensive resource center with decades of application materials.
6) Before submitting your MBA application, ensure it’s flawless with our Flight Test™, where a former admissions officer reviews your entire package with fresh eyes.
7) Take the stress out of interviewing with one-on-one prep with your primary consultant and group prep sessions led by former admissions officers.
8) Our support doesn’t stop once your application is submitted; we continue to assist you in navigating admissions decisions, waitlists, and deferral letters until you accept an offer.
Hourly First Services
Start with 2-3 hours of initial strategy work à la carte to test the waters, and then you can upgrade to an All-In package.

Like the headline says, I cannot recommend Esther with SBC enough. She helped me turn my average application into something actually valuable. I got into my top 3 grad programs and I heavily attributed it to her. She goes above and beyond the bare minimum. Not only did she help with editing my essays, but she helped re-vamp my resume, and helped me find contacts within the university to contact to form relationships with. I couldn’t be more grateful for the help she provided me.
