Consultant Bio

Jennifer began her career in entertainment at the William Morris Agency in both New York and Los Angeles. She leveraged her MBA from Stanford GSB to shift direction and focus on marketing. While at Creative Artists Agency, she worked with clients such as Harley-Davidson and Coca-Cola—companies renowned for their incredible brand loyalty—which ignited her passion for strong brand marketing.

Throughout her career, Jennifer honed her skills in branding, positioning, and storytelling while working for companies such as Warner Bros., Annenberg Foundation, Vubiquity (entertainment tech), and DocMagic (fintech). Now, she leverages those same skills to help her clients navigate the admissions process—with a focus on identifying their key differentiators and creating an application that powerfully expresses who they are, while making the process as organized and enjoyable—yes, enjoyable!—as possible.

Company Information

Gatehouse Admissions logo

Gatehouse Admissions was founded on a simple truth: getting accepted to Harvard, Stanford, and other top-tier business schools becomes more challenging each year. Candidates need a new level of expertise and commitment from their admissions consultant. Meet Gatehouse Admissions, the new standard in MBA admissions consulting. Via strong client partnerships and deep investment at every stage of the application process, Gatehouse Admissions specializes in helping determined candidates stand out.

Having helped hundreds of applicants gain admission to the world’s most competitive business schools, we at Gatehouse Admissions know that nothing about the admissions process is formulaic. Yet the services at many admissions consulting firms are. We focus on taking individuals in whom we see exceptional promise and tailoring the application experience to ensure that their candidacies are as compelling as possible.

We limit our client roster to a small number of high-caliber candidates who are targeting the most prestigious business schools. Yet even within these motivated applicant pools, Gatehouse Admissions is not for everyone. The strongest partnerships are those in which each participant contributes equally. We do not care if a client is a weaker writer, tends to be disorganized, struggles to interview effectively, or has never engaged in any real self-reflection. We know very well how to address and overcome these kinds of issues. Instead, we seek clients who are committed to working hard, open to feedback, and willing to learn — about both themselves and how to craft a compelling application.

If you are ready to bring your best effort to your application, we are ready to help.

    Jennifer was everything I could possibly have asked for in a consultant. Her expertise, patience, and outstanding communication skills made the process far easier and more efficient than it would have been trying to navigate it alone. Professionally, I was coming off of six years on active duty as an intelligence officer in the Marine Corps right into a role as a government affairs manager at an early-stage developer of nuclear fusion technology. I did my undergraduate degree at Yale (3.67 GPA), received a 329 GRE on my first go (170 Verbal, 159 Quant) and a 327 on my second go (166 Verbal, 161 Quant). Despite not having as high of a GRE score as is often recommended when applying to an M7 program, I ...
