Besty led an amazing live Jam Session for our members on how to get into B-School. Here is Betsy's unique philosophy:

"Getting accepted by a business school you've always dreamed of does not require you to graduate as valedictorian of your university class. You don't have to earn perfect scores on your GMAT, nor must you start your own million-dollar business and win the Nobel peace prize. Rather, I believe that every candidate to business school owns an exceptional story, and that story is the key to your application."

Here's why Betsy rocks:

After graduating from Harvard Business School, Betsy worked on Wall Street for Goldman Sachs and then Bankers Trust (now Deutsche Bank). In the midst of both up and down markets, she learned the art and science of selling in a competitive environment. She later lived and worked in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam for a decade, alternately as a securities salesperson and as a financial journalist for Euromoney Institutional Investor.

After a lifetime abroad, once back in the U.S., she combined sales, marketing and writing/editing experience into positions in marketing and communications for both Barclays Global Investors and for Franklin Templeton Investments. She has been helping candidates in their applications to business school since she was in her second year at Harvard.

Betsy has coached and edited writers with a wide range of talents, from those with only a rough facility with English to veteran newspaper journalists. She also has been published in a wide range of journals, including the International Herald Tribune, AsiaMoney, Global Investor, Fast Company, Workforce Management and Online Investor, among others. She has studied French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Vietnamese, and currently volunteers at an ESL (English as a second language) program for new immigrants. Betsy is a graduate of Vassar College and is a lifetime member of the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents Club.
