Kelsey Kephart

My admission career began at Columbia Business School where I spent three years on the admissions committee. In addition to reviewing applications and interviewing candidates, I oversaw the world-wide interview program, served as a waitlist manager, scholarship manager, and dual degree program lead for the Law, Medical, Dental, and Journalism schools.

Since my time at CBS, I have worked in finance, managing teams within hedge funds, global banks, and fintech firms. I’m currently the Head of Operations at Revere Partners, an oral health Venture Capital firm where I work across our investment committee, investors, portfolio company, and internal teams.

While I enjoy the fast pace and challenges of finance, nothing quite compares to the joy of being part of a young person’s journey to realize their dreams. I began working with MBA-hopeful clients in 2017 to rejoin the equally fast-paced and complex (perhaps more so!) industry of admissions. On the other side of the fence as a former admissions officer, working with MBA applicants has allowed me to work intimately with applicants, guiding them to build deeply personal and robust applications. As the first person in my family to attend college, I understand how education can open doors and transform lives. I love applying my skills and insights to ensure every line of my clients’ applications sound uniquely like them and speak to admissions committees at top business schools.

When I’m not helping clients, I enjoy SCUBA diving, rock climbing, and archery. I hold a BA from Barnard College.
