Update: 2025-08-24
Description
In this episode, we sit down with Bethany Rolan (HBS ’22) to unpack her journey from small-town Texas to UT Austin, McKinsey, and ultimately Harvard Business School. Bethany shares how she discovered consulting, why she took the GMAT during finals week, and what made her pursue an MBA. She dives into her application strategy – including how she managed feedback, selected recommenders, and leaned into her unique background. We also explore her biggest takeaways from HBS – from classroom insights with Professor Ryan Buell to building lifelong friendships during the pandemic. Today, Bethany is focused on people and organizational performance at McKinsey, with an eye toward eventually “getting the ball” as an operator.
