Military MBA Consulting Redefines Veteran MBA Admissions: The Only Firm Built by Military, For Military
Pioneer in Veteran-Focused MBA Admissions Announces Enhanced Platform with Video Essay Prep, Veterans Benefits Consulting, and Military-First Strategy
Middletown, Delaware–
Military MBA Consulting, the nation's first and only MBA admissions consulting firm founded specifically to serve military veterans and military spouses, is reinforcing its position as the authentic voice for military applicants seeking elite MBA programs. With a team comprised entirely of military veterans and military spouses, the firm combines deep institutional knowledge of military transition with proven admissions expertise.
Founded in 2019 as a direct response to a gap in the MBA admissions consulting market, Military MBA Consulting has spent five years building unparalleled expertise in translating military experience into compelling MBA applications. As larger consulting firms without veteran expertise enter the space, Military MBA Consulting is reaffirming its commitment to making world-class MBA admissions coaching accessible to military families.
Authenticity Built on Lived Experience
"We don't just understand military transition—we've lived it," said Emily Sawyer Kegerreis, CEO of Military MBA Consulting. "Every member of our team has served or is married to someone who served. We know the unique value proposition of military leadership, the challenges of articulating service to a civilian admissions audience, and exactly what top MBA programs are looking for when they review military applicants. That's something no competitor can replicate by launching a new service offering."
Military MBA Consulting's approach is grounded in the reality that military veterans and spouses face distinct challenges in the MBA admissions process:
Translating military leadership and service into business school language
Navigating residency requirements and geographic flexibility concerns
Leveraging military benefits (GI Bill, Yellow Ribbon, spouse preferences) strategically
Standing out among increasingly competitive military applicant pools
Comprehensive Platform for Military Applicants
Military MBA Consulting's enhanced platform includes:
Military-Specific Online Portal: Dedicated materials, resources, and essays specifically for military applicants, eliminating the need to interpret civilian-focused admissions content.
Video Essay Prep Platform: Specialized coaching for MBA video essays
One-on-One Coaching: Personalized guidance from military veterans who understand both business school expectations and military backgrounds.
Benefits Consultation with The Better Veteran: Complimentary guidance from military-benefit specialists to help clients understand and maximize their VA benefits, GI Bill options, and scholarship opportunities—ensuring full financial strategy alignment before MBA enrollment.
"Affordability has always been core to our mission," said Emily. "Military families are often managing relocation costs, educational debt, and career transitions. We designed our pricing to be accessible without compromising quality or expertise. You shouldn't have to choose between authentic veteran guidance and financial responsibility. Our partnership with The Better Veteran reflects that commitment, we're not just helping you get into business school, we're helping you pay for it strategically."
Proven Results: Five Years of M7 Admissions
Military MBA Consulting maintains a 95%+ acceptance rate at clients' top three school choices. Clients consistently earn admission to Harvard Business School, Stanford, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Kellogg, Duke Fuqua, Chicago Booth, UVA Darden, Dartmouth Tuck, NYU Stern, Columbia, Berkeley Haas, and more.
Here's what clients have to say:
"Emily is THE consultant for your MBA application. She took the veil off the sometimes confusing and overwhelming process and helped me tell my unique story in ways a civilian or educator could understand. I was accepted into my "reach" school, and I honestly could not have done it without her."
— Matt, US Navy SEAL, Wharton
“I cannot emphasize how critical MBA Military Consulting was to my MBA successes. As an applicant with a below-average GMAT/GRE and an average GPA, I had my work cut out for me. Emily worked with me to skillfully identify a coherent and strong personal narrative. Throughout the application process, Emily also gave me relevant advice for interviews and follow-on essays, as well as connecting me with other knowledgeable people to best set me up for success. I received acceptances to HBS, Tuck, Darden and Ross. Additionally, after decisions were released, Emily gave me sage perspective and continuous support, critical to help me navigate choosing the best school for me. This post-decision support was, for me, almost as impactful as any application help that I received. From one Veteran to another – you are truly missing out on maximizing your full potential by not working with Emily and her team.”
— Seth, USMC, HBS
"I was accepted into all six MBA programs I applied to, two of which were top 10. Emily expertly guided me through the entire MBA admissions process and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She understood how to bring out the best of every candidate and had very competitive pricing with tremendous value. She is the consultant who can transform your application."
— Jess, US Navy, NYU Stern
Pioneering a Niche, Defending an Authentic Advantage
Since 2019, Military MBA Consulting has become the go-to resource for veterans and military spouses pursuing MBAs at top schools, earning the firm recognition as one of Poets & Quants' top boutique MBA consulting firms. The firm's six-year track record of placing military applicants into leading MBA programs is unmatched.
While the firm welcomes increased attention to military applicant recruitment, it emphasizes that veteran-led expertise cannot be quickly replicated. Building deep relationships with admissions officers, understanding the nuances of service-to-leadership translation, and earning the trust of the veteran community require genuine lived experiences and networks built over a lifetime.
"We're not just another MBA admissions consulting firm with a military program," said Emily. "We're military spouses and veterans serving other veterans. Our success is built on the relationships we've cultivated with the military community over decades. That authenticity and trust matters."
