Consultant Bio

I am an HBS graduate with a deep passion for helping others craft their story and achieve their goals. As a first-generation graduate who has lived around the world, I am committed to helping my clients translate their unique experiences for adcom. Having worked in academia, non-profit and private sectors, Narmeen is adept at identify the skills of non-traditional applicants that will differentiate them from others.

Before pursuing her MBA, Narmeen worked for several years in international development across South Asia, East Africa, Europe and North America. Post-MBA, Narmeen transitioned to management consulting where she focused on asset management. She is currently the Director of Strategic Operations at a growth-stage venture capital fund. As a savvy career switcher, Narmeen is an incredible resource for applicants who are looking to change industries or functions.

Narmeen has a Bachelors of Health Sciences from McMaster University, a Masters in International Health Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Narmeen is currently based in San Francisco. Outside of work, she enjoys yoga, hiking, and lots of time with family and friends.

P&Q Consultant Reviews

  • Thoughtful Insights!
    5 months ago
    Narmeen was incredibly insightful and supportive throughout my MBA application process—she guided me in shaping a clear, cohesive personal narrative that reflected my unique background as a non-traditional MBA candidate. Her thoughtful advice and understanding of the admissions process played a key role in my receiving a full scholarship offer and enabling me to pivot from a non-business background. I appreciated her practical insights, steady support, and ability to keep the process focused and manageable while keeping me on track. Vantage Point’s wider team also provided significant resources and value in terms of additional reviews and specific insights.

  • Got Into My Top Choice School!

I think Narmeen's most valuable service was our mock interviews - she really had a great perspective on the mindset of the interviewer, which I believe was one of the biggest reasons I was able to get into my top choice program.

  • Got Admitted! Great Consultant
    2 years ago
    Narmeen far exceeded my expectations for what an MBA admissions consultant could provide. She helped me get admitted into Tuck, my top choice program, by providing a structured approach and personalized advice. Narmeen is exceptional at outlining admissions essays based on the individual candidate's background. During the application, I had numerous ideas on the types of content that I wanted to present to admissions, but was unsure how to best organize everything.

For Tuck, she emphasized my community fit, inclusion focus, and winter sports interests. Additionally, Narmeen edits essays very quickly and efficiently and provides actionable advice on improvements with ...
