Every application is a story worth telling well.
Bloom & Word works with MBA applicants to sharpen essays, resumes, and recommendation letters — turning scattered experience into a clear, honest narrative admissions committees remember.
Two crafts, one aim: help you write your way in.
Admissions Consulting
End-to-end guidance through the application process — positioning, timeline, and strategy tailored to what each program is actually looking for, from an admissions-side perspective.
Resume Review
Reworking your resume so it reads clearly to an admissions committee, not just a recruiter — sharpening how experience is framed and what gets emphasized.
Recommendation Letters
Guidance for both applicants and recommenders on building letters that add real, specific weight to an application rather than repeating the resume.
Essay Review
Line-by-line editing and structural feedback — sharpening the idea underneath a draft rather than smoothing it into something generic. Includes personal statements and supplemental essays.
A good essay isn’t a performance. It’s the clearest version of something true, said plainly.
Who you’re working with
Wharton-trained, admissions side
Trained within Wharton’s own admissions office, with over ten years in the industry — informing how applications actually get evaluated, not just how they’re written.
A track record at the top
Students have been admitted to Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Wharton, Chicago Booth, Kellogg, and other leading MBA programs.
Bilingual, by necessity
Fluent in English and Mandarin, working closely with international families across the US, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and beyond through every stage of the process.

Polishing
Hourly Check-ins
If a draft isn’t ready to be polished, you’ll hear why before any polishing work begins — you can then choose to have it worked on directly or revise it yourself first. Payment is due in full before work begins on each engagement.
Let’s talk about your application.
Every engagement starts with a short conversation about where you are, what you’re applying to, and what kind of help would actually move things forward.
