Consultant Bio

I have a longstanding passion for coaching and have served as an advisor in several different capacities for over ten years. I value relationship-building and authenticity and see myself as a mentor and advocate for my clients during the MBA application process. As a career switcher and professional marketer, I can help clients position their skills and experiences to create a cohesive story and personal brand for their application. As someone who has transitioned industries and functions, I am able to coach applicants through connecting their previous experiences and skills to their future goals and market themselves in a compelling manner to the adcom.

I have a BBA in Finance and a BA in Economics from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, and an MBA from NYU Stern.

Outside of work, I love experiencing new restaurants and cuisines, high intensity fitness classes, and traveling.

Company Information

My firm, Vantage Point MBA, is comprised of highly-talented perfectionists who are experienced in coaching and mentoring applicants to the top MBA programs in the world. We are alumni and former admissions directors from the top MBA programs and experienced MBA admissions consultants who previously worked in sectors such as banking, consulting, brand management, private equity, and technology. As such, we have been in your shoes! We know the MBA application process inside and out and can help you understand how to best position your unique background, experience, and goals in-line with what the top programs are looking for.

What makes our team different is that the fact that we work together to share knowledge, provide alternative perspectives, and ultimately ensure that our clients are receiving the benefit of our collective knowledge, experience, and educated opinions. After all, you can never know the background of the person who will ultimately read your app! Importantly, because we focus on providing high touch and personalized guidance, our consultants take a very limited number of clients each year. This is essential to truly get to know you and provide the highest level of mentoring and guidance as you seek entry to the most competitive and elite MBA programs.

P&Q Consultant Reviews

  • Highly Recommend Working With Malvika For MBA Applications!
    3 weeks ago
    I had a fantastic experience collaborating with Vantage Point. Navigating the MBA application process can often feel daunting, but their well-organized resources effectively simplify it, guiding you through each step with clarity. Malvika Nayak was a great partner to have by my side. From day one, she helped me sort through my ideas and really focus on what stories to tell. She didn’t hesitate to push me to dig deeper, and it’s clear she knows what makes an essay stand out. Definitely recommend investing in this; the support and advice I got were top-notch.

  • Best Decision I Made During The Application Process
    5 years ago
    I highly recommend Malvika and Vantage Point to anyone who is considering hiring an MBA admissions consultant. I spoke to 3 different companies through their free consultations. Of the three, Vantage Point was clearly willing to offer the most time and most personalized experience. It was also reassuring to be referred by a friend who had a successful experience with the company as well. After discussing my background, school selection, and strategy with Melody (one of the co-founders), I was assigned to work full-time with Malvika. This was largely because of my intention to transition careers, which Malvika had done in her past as well. She helped identify the experiences in my past that helped explain this transition to be the next logical step. In addition to ...
