Victor Chen

I have close to a decade of experience working with applicants, helping them develop their unique positioning and gain admission to top programs. Having received my BA in Economics from Colby College and MBA from Kellogg School of Management – securing full scholarships at both schools, I am acutely aware of how valuable quality education and career resources are. I relish helping others unlock their potential so that they, too, are able to benefit from all that premiere schools offer. I am also passionate about furthering diversity in education and business, as I am an alumnus of Posse Foundation, which empowers diverse groups of leaders who transform communities and the world, and Robert Toigo Foundation, which fosters career advancement and increased leadership presence of underrepresented talent in the financial services industry.

Outside of Square One Prep, I am a junior engagement manager at McKinsey, advising clients in healthcare, financial institutions, and private equity. My professional experiences span consulting and financial services. Previously, I was a consultant at AlixPartners, an investment banker at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and a strategic planner at BlackRock.

Born in China and raised in New York, I enjoy playing squash, skiing, and learning about behavioral economics. I love to explore cultures and have traveled to more than 20 countries. I am a native Mandarin and English speaker.
