Consultant Bio

At Harvard Business School, Lynn served on the board of the Harbus newspaper and as co-president of the Entertainment & Media Club. At Bowdoin College, Lynn studied international relations and Asian studies and had the opportunity to study abroad in Austria and Kenya. These experiences set Lynn on a path of curiosity and global engagement that continues through her work with a diverse range of clients.

When she was the managing editor of Fast Company and Inc., Lynn enjoyed helping colleagues identify their career goals and the skills they needed to achieve them. Now, she naturally helps her clients think beyond the classroom to the broader MBA experience. At Vanity Fair, Lynn was immersed in best-in-class storytelling, while at Epicurious, she learned how to package content for different audiences, which is an essential strategy with MBA applications. She served as the corporate marketing director at a start-up while it grew from just two dozen employees to a publicly traded company, learning the value of the stretch assignment and recognizing the worth of the MBA for leadership training. Lynn brings all these experiences to her client partnerships, empowering applicants to showcase their full potential.

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.

P&Q Consultant Reviews

  • Admitted To HBS & Wharton!

  • T7 Acceptance From Consulting & PE Background; 100% Interview Invite Success
    9 months ago
    I worked with Lynn to apply to HBS and Sloan R1 for the Class of 2027. Coming from a more traditional background (Ivy League undergraduate education and consulting + PE work experience) with lower quantitative stats (740 GMAT, 3.4 GPA in an engineering major) my main concern was crafting a compelling narrative to differentiate against a competitive applicant pool. I found Lynn extremely helpful throughout the application process. One thing that stood out was how she took the time to truly understand my experiences and goals upfront. This allowed her to provide thoughtful suggestions on how to best incorporate various stories into different components of the application, ensuring the end product was comprehensive and impactful. As a former editor, Lynn provided thorough feedback during the ...
