Eric Zielinski

Since 2020, I have been dedicated to helping applicants achieve their dreams of gaining admission to top MBA programs. My favorite part of admission consulting is receiving that exhilarating call from a client who has just been accepted into their dream school. I have guided dozens of candidates to prestigious institutions like Harvard Business School and Wharton. As a military veteran, I excel in assisting other veterans in translating their unique experiences into compelling application stories.

My passion for admission consulting is rooted in my own MBA journey. I earned my MBA from Wharton, where I collaborated with the admissions committee to evaluate veteran applications. This experience deepened my understanding of the admissions process and strengthened my commitment to helping others succeed.

Professionally, I serve as the COO of a European healthcare company, dividing my time between the U.S. and Europe. Before this role, I spent two years as a consultant at Bain and Company and worked as an investor for various buy-side firms. My pre-MBA career in the U.S. Army spanned over eight years, where I served as an officer and helicopter pilot across multiple regions, including Asia, the Middle East, Central America, and the Caribbean. My most rewarding role was as a medical evacuation pilot, saving lives during critical missions.

In my free time, I am passionate about growth-focused travel where I have the opportunity to learn and explore cultures different from my own—35 countries so far. These experiences enrich my life and enhance my ability to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds.
