Our Story – From Inside the Admissions Office to Your Side of the Table
Fortuna Admissions was founded in 2012 by two former admissions directors and a business education expert / serial entrepreneur who saw a gap in the industry – too many applicants navigating a high-stakes process without access to honest, accurate guidance. We created Fortuna to change that.
From our earliest days, our goal has been to provide an ethical, personalized, and deeply strategic approach to MBA admissions. We’ve walked the halls of the top business schools, led hundreds of admissions committees, and reviewed thousands of applications. Today, we bring that insider expertise directly to you – empowering applicants around the world to pursue their dreams with confidence and clarity.
What began as a small group of passionate admissions professionals has grown into a global team united by a common purpose: helping ambitious individuals unlock their potential and gain admission to the world’s most competitive MBA programs.
