Consultant Bio

Lawrence is a passionate mentor and coach with five years of experience advising students and applicants. He has an open and encouraging style but will give it to you “straight up”. As an empathetic listener, he is skilled at helping applicants connect the dots across their diverse experiences and develop compelling stories that come to life for admissions committees.

He has also worked at tech companies like Intuit and Electronic Arts. His diverse experience enables him to provide informed guidance to clients of all professional backgrounds.

Lawrence earned a BA in Economics and BS in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania and Wharton, as well as an MBA and MA in Design Innovation from Kellogg and Northwestern. At Penn, he was involved in Wharton Leadership Ventures, where he led outdoor expeditions to Machu Picchu and the Grand Tetons to coach peers on real-world leadership skills. At Kellogg, he was a dancer on the Groupwerk dance team, podcaster on the Innovation and Design club, and Ambassador with the Latin America club.

When he is not with his clients, Lawrence enjoys traveling to locations where he can surf, dive, and dance salsa.

Company Information

Avanti Prep has built a first-class reputation for the quality, commitment, depth, and attention to detail that we deliver, as well as for our expertise across MBA admissions, storytelling, coaching, and messaging. We realize that’s more or less what everyone on here says, so the best recommendation we can make is to read the testimonials below.

Those testimonials provide detailed insight into how past clients viewed their experiences with Avanti Prep — and in many cases how those experiences compared to applicants’ previous experiences applying on their own or with another firm. The testimonials are often very specific, creating greater transparency with respect to process, thoroughness, impact, and results.

Menu of Services and Associated Costs

Avanti Prep offers Workshops, Packages, Hourly Services, and à la carte Interview Prep, as well as Pre-Application Advisory and Career Services (details below).

Despite having one of the strongest reputations in the marketplace, our Hourly Services pricing ranks among the most affordable when measured against industry peers. On average, Avanti Prep clients save $43 to $123 *per hour* relative to similar marketplace offerings – for what we (and countless former clients) believe is a superior experience.

Our Interview Prep offering is similarly well regarded. The full 3-hour service includes an extended school-specific mock interview (~60 minutes) plus comprehensive feedback and response strategy (~120 minutes). Similarly priced offerings typically include only a 30- to 45-minute mock interview and a 30- to 45-minute feedback session.

We also offer discounted Pre-Application Advisory (for those planning to apply in the future) and Career Services (e.g., career guidance, resume and cover letter reviews). One of the greatest testaments to the quality we deliver and relationships we build is the fact that many of our former “application clients” reach out for Career Services once enrolled.
