MBA Mama Expands Into Full-Service Admissions Consulting

For Ambitious Women Navigating Motherhood and Business School

· CEO Posts

MBA Mama, the global platform supporting women who balance motherhood and career ambitions, has announced its official expansion into MBA admissions consulting, offering specialized services tailored to aspiring MBA candidates who are mothers or planning to start families during their graduate studies.

As MBA Mama recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary, the company is marking a new era of growth with founder Divinity Matovu planning to unveil a refreshed website, new blog content, updated tools and resources for prospective MBA women, and expanded service offerings on December 15, 2025. For candidates targeting Round 2 for the 2025–2026 application cycle, MBA Mama’s admissions consulting services are open and available now.

A Niche, First-of-its-Kind Approach to MBA Admissions

Unlike traditional admissions firms, MBA Mama’s approach is specifically designed for candidates who face unique considerations when pursuing an MBA while raising children or planning for motherhood. The new admissions consulting practice will offer a full suite of services, including:

  • Comprehensive application strategy, resume review and essay editing
  • Guidance on whether (and how) to disclose motherhood in applications, essays, and interviews
  • Family planning strategy for candidates considering pregnancy during the MBA program
  • School selection support tailored to candidates seeking family-friendly and supportive MBA environments
  • Post-admission concierge support, including:
    • Assistance finding and securing childcare
    • Relocation guidance for families
    • Family-friendly housing resources on/near campus
  • Career coaching for internships and post-MBA roles, with a focus on leadership pathways for working mothers
  • Tools, templates, and planning resources created specifically for MBA moms

“Motherhood is not a barrier for MBA candidates; it’s a strategic advantage,” said founder Divinity Matovu. “I created MBA Mama in 2015 because I was a newly single mom going through a divorce who wanted to attend a top 5 MBA program full-time. I saw no role models or resources for women like me. For 10 years, MBA Mama has championed the idea that women don’t need to choose between motherhood and an elite education. Our new consulting practice gives ambitious moms the personalized support, strategic guidance, and confidence they need to be successful during the MBA admissions process.”

Building on a Decade of Impact

Since its founding in 2015, MBA Mama has grown into a trusted global resource for aspiring and current MBA mothers by offering storytelling, mentorship, networking and community to thousands of women balancing diapers and deadlines.

The December relaunch will introduce a redesigned website with fresh, modern content plus:

  • Expanded Founder’s Blog and MBA Mom profiles
  • New digital resources and tools
  • Cute merch like t-shirts, hoodies, hats and coffee mugs
  • Enhanced community features like virtual and IRL meetups
  • An annual Spring Break retreat in Jamaica

Admissions Consulting Now Open

MBA Mama’s consulting packages which includes 1:1 admissions advising, strategic motherhood-disclosure coaching, and post-admit family support are now available. Services are open to clients worldwide and can be booked immediately at mbamama.com.
