Yale School of Management, MBA Class of 2026 Graduate | 2023 MBALaunch On Demand Participant |
Forté Fellow | Forté MBA Ambassador
When Ramya Srinivasan committed to applying to business school, she planned to manage the entire process on her own. Hiring an admissions consultant was not an option, so she needed a program that offered structure, insight, and a sense of direction. MBALaunch On Demand became the resource that helped her move forward with purpose.
A Process She Could Navigate With Confidence
Ramya found that the program broke the application journey into steps she could follow without feeling overwhelmed. The guidance came from speakers with deep experience as admissions consultants or members of admissions committees. Their explanations helped her understand how to approach each part of the application with intention.
A Network That Helped Her Stay Engaged
Although the program is self paced, Ramya connected with other women through the forum. These conversations created a sense of shared progress. She and several peers checked in with one another, shared updates, and kept each other accountable. This support helped her stay focused during the more demanding parts of the process.
A Meaningful Reduction in Application Costs
One of the most valuable benefits for Ramya was access to application fee waivers for more than forty schools. Several of the programs she targeted were included in this list. The waivers lowered her overall costs and allowed her to apply to a wider range of schools without financial strain.
If you want a program that helps you move through the application process with structure and purpose, MBALaunch On Demand is a strong place to begin.”
A Path That Led to Yale SOM and a Career at McKinsey
Ramya completed her MBA at the Yale School of Management and moved into a full‑time role as an Associate at McKinsey & Company, where she had previously interned. Her experience in MBALaunch On Demand helped her stay organized and steady throughout the application process, which supported her progress toward this next stage in her career.
As a Forté alum, she continues to stay connected to women preparing for their own MBA journeys. She shares guidance, answers questions, and offers insight drawn from her lived experience as both an applicant and a graduate.
