Jayne Mulcahy offers a rare combination of MBA and JD admissions expertise, coupled with firsthand experience in top-tier consulting recruitment. Most recently, she evaluated thousands of applications as a member of the full-time MBA admissions team at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. She also partnered closely with the JD admissions team at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, helping build some of the program’s largest JD/MBA joint degree cohorts.

Jayne began her career in investment banking before transitioning into higher education, and later joined Charles River Associates, a global economic and strategy consulting firm, where she recruited graduate and PhD talent from top institutions across North America and Europe. She regularly led admissions workshops and helped consultants prepare compelling MBA, JD, and PhD applications.

With a BA and BS from Saint Louis University in History and Business Administration, and an MA in History from Arizona State University, Jayne brings academic depth and real-world insight to her coaching. She is especially passionate about supporting applicants from underrepresented backgrounds and helping them find their authentic voice.

Jayne said goodbye to Midwest winters when she moved to Arizona with her husband. Outside work, you’ll find her getting lost on hiking trails, reading historical fiction, and spending time with family and friends.
