Hi! I'm Dr. Loubna Bouamane, founder of The Admission Concierge and expert in the MBA/MS admissions field. I received my PhD from the University of Paris VII (France) and went on to study at Aston University (UK) and Emory University in the U.S. I have over 15 years experience in higher education. My professional path has led me to work in several business schools including Babson College and Harvard Business School. Prior to launching my company I was the director of admissions at the University of Miami's MBA program for close to 5 years.
As a director of admissions, I have read and reviewed thousands of MBA/MS applications, I interviewed applicants from over 40 countries and from all academic and professional backgrounds. I have selected each individual applicants who joined our programs and awarded scholarships based on very specific metrics most business schools share. I have been a featured speaker both domestically and internationally on the QS World MBA Tour and led webinars with GMAC.
Unlike other admission consulting firms led by former students, I have a deeper understanding of the ever changing world of business education: Business Schools adapt to the market needs and provide many options for students to take their careers to the next level. My role is to guide you through the many different options you might not have considered.
Whether you come from a solid business background and targeting a top 10 School, you gained a degree in a non-business field and looking to change career paths, or are an international or domestic student, I can provide you with the tools to select the programs that best suit your goals and help you put together a competitive application.
I will use my expertise as an admissions professional and insider look to guide you through the application process and increase your chances of joining the right program for you and maximize your scholarship award.
Working with Loubna was a dream come true. I was 100% determined to get into an elite MBA program and needed the help of a true professional. In applying to 5 Business schools ranked within the top 15, which all happened to be reach schools for me, Loubna helped me create an effective approach, strong narrative, and personalized brand for each individual school’s application process. Her command of every single detail of the admissions process, and personalized 1 on 1 approach, was exactly what I needed. Every single session was precise and productive, and she gained my trust and respect immediately. In applying to those 5 schools, I was offered admissions into 4 of them, including 2 with scholarships. I ultimately committed to a Top 5/M7 program at Northwestern Kellogg, and I couldn’t be happier with the results of working with her. I am forever thankful for the opportunity to have worked with Loubna and I highly recommend working with her as she provides highly personalized, 5-star service that will help you accomplish your admissions goals.
I contacted Loubna specifically because I needed someone who is well versed in both US and European educational systems and job markets. I applied to 5 schools using her services and received 3 admission offers, including INSEAD which I decided to go with. I thoughroughly enjoyed working with her, she is extremely knowledgeable and flexible when it comes to working with business professionals. I would absolutely recommend her!"
I contacted Loubna a year ahead of round-1 of HBS 2022 admissions; she was instrumental in helping me improve certain aspects of my profile (my GPA was average, and my extra-curricular activities were less than stellar.) She helped me develop a GMAT strategy to maximize my score and redeem my GPA. She also suggested a few volunteering opportunities that gave a new dimension to my application and perfectly aligned with my post MBA career goals. Working with her early in the process was the best decision I've made.
I reached out to Loubna a few months before the Round 2 deadline for Booth and was immediately impressed by her industry knowledge. She was able to work with me on a tight schedule to ensure we met our deadline, she was very responsive through the process. She is particularly good with narrative building. I wouldn't be able to tell me story effectively without her help. So happy I crossed path with her!"
"I come from an overrepresented minority with a typical finance background combined with a lower than average GPA/GMAT, Cornell was definitely a reach... Loubna was instrumental in helping me identify elements in my professional and academic path to set me apart. I trusted her every step of the way and delivered on every aspect of the application process."
“ When I found out I was waitlisted at MIT Sloan I reached out to Loubna to help me improve my application. She reviewed my application package and helped me identify weaknesses and inconsistencies. Although I spent months conducting research and reading online resources to craft my application I realized that nothing surpasses working with an admissions professional. She helped me strategize on the steps I needed to take to get admitted off the waitlist and the strategy proved successful, I received my letter of admission within a couple of weeks of submitting my supporting documents!”
“ I highly recommend working with Loubna, I initially started my application process on my own and soon felt overwhelmed with the "story building" around my essay. I’ve had several Skype sessions with Loubna to discuss my personal, academic and professional background. Based on our conversation Loubna helped me build a strong personal narrative. She’s extremely savvy when it comes to brand building! Best decision I’ve made.”
“ I contacted Loubna about a year before submitting my application for HBS 2+2 program, she was a great resource even before I signed up for her consultancy services. She guided me during an entire year on the steps I needed to take to strengthen my profile. When I was ready to start my application Loubna guided me every step of the way and was always available to address any questions or concerns, evening and weekends included. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized service from a professional that truly is well versed in the admission process. I’m so glad I’ve crossed her path!”
“J’ai contacté Loubna un peu a la dernière minute pour me guider dans le processus d’admission dans une université Américaine. Dès notre première conversation elle a su identifier mes point forts et points faibles puis me réorienter vers un Master qui me permettrai de réaliser mon projet professionel . Nous avons travaillé ensemble virtuellement via FaceTime une fois par semaine. Apres avoir établi une stratégie d’application puis nous avons travaillé ensemble sur la rédaction de mon « personal statement » ainsi que mon CV. Lorsque j’ai reçu une invitation à l’entretien d’admission, Loubna a organisé plusieurs sessions de coaching ou elle m’a mise en situation, je me suis presenté à l'entretien confiante grace à son soutien. Sans son aide je n’aurais pas pu naviguer le processus d’application. Je la recommande vivement ! »
