Kelly Lundy

Hi, I’m Kelly Lundy, Columbia Business School MBA with a background in tech and entertainment.

I’m an MBA Admissions Counselor at Stratus.

Let’s Talk!  

Academic Background

  • University of California, Berkeley, BA in Film
  • Columbia Business School, MBA

Experience

Post-MBA

Since graduating from Columbia Business School (CBS), I have worked at Meta in program management and product strategy roles across the Trust and Safety teams, leveraging the tech startup experience I gained during my business school internships.

Pre-MBA

Before earning my MBA, I worked in entertainment, mainly developing scripted series at MTV, and in advertising as a project manager.

We’ll Work Well Together If…

  • You have a background or interest in entertainment or technology, or you are looking to navigate the path to an MBA from a nontraditional background.
  • You hope to find a creative outlet at business school. I was VP of direction for CBS Follies, and I wrote/directed/edited three videos during my tenure.
  • You are a former college athlete or outdoors enthusiast. I rowed for Berkeley and enjoy hiking, running, and cycling.

What My Clients Say About Working with Me

Kelly was instrumental in helping me get admitted to Stanford, which was my primary choice, and I wholeheartedly endorse her as a mentor to help you through the MBA application process. Never did I feel that she was not completely vested in improving the narrative or was growing frustrated with stagnation. She was extremely responsive and gracious with her time.

Kelly is clearly amazing at her job, but her kindness and positivity truly made the difference! She was always willing to answer questions and guide me in the right direction, and I credit her support and rational perspective as a key reason I was accepted to my dream school!!!

Columbia Business School MBA Class of 2025

I applied to only one school with no backup plan, and Kelly was my secret weapon. She helped me tailor every part of my application and interview to successfully resonate with my target school. This means that she not only knew everything there was to know about admissions for my target school but also how to work with me to perfect my messaging. She was also friendly, responsive, candid, and just nice to work with.

Kelly has a niche for delivering on her client’s needs with enthusiasm, care, and active communication, and I’ll always be grateful to her and the Stratus team for all the support and for believing in me!
I loved working with Kelly Lundy from Stratus! With her experience in the tech industry, she offered personalized advice and targeted feedback on how to craft my essays, sharpen my resume, and prepare for my interviews! She was so encouraging and supportive. Applying to MBA programs can be a stressful time, but Kelly made the process so seamless!

I ended up getting admitted to the M7 target school I interviewed for, and I know that Kelly’s interview guidance played a huge role. Beyond that, she is very friendly and has a strong sense of what an interviewer will and won’t want to hear. I highly recommend working with her!!

MBA Class of 2024

I could not have gotten into my top-choice school this fall without Kelly’s help. I 100% recommend her for anyone considering an MBA admissions consultant!

All in all, Kelly went above and beyond to help (she once reverted comments within an hour of me circulating, since I needed to submit my application that day) and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for some assistance with their MBA application.

Kelly is truly a marvelous mentor. She supports you and enables you to develop your own authentic narrative. She spends a lot of time to learn about you.
