MANAGEMENT TEAM

FOUNDERS

The founders of Clear Admit have used their extensive admissions experience to form the best admissions consulting team in the field.

ELIOT INGRAM, Co-Founder
Eliot Ingram has spent over eight years in the field of MBA admissions. In 1994, Mr. Ingram helped launch MBA Multi-App and Law Multi-App, which quickly became the leading software for applying to business schools and law schools. In his senior management role, Mr. Ingram built strong relationships with admissions officers at the top 50 business schools and top 50 law schools in the US. He also gained exposure to tens of thousands of MBA and law applicants which allowed him to develop a strong understanding of the admissions process from both sides of the marketplace.

Mr. Ingram left Multi-App in order to complete an MBA from the Wharton School. After graduating from Wharton in 1999, Mr. Ingram formed a consulting firm advising early stage technology companies on their marketing and business development strategies. In late 2001, Mr. Ingram co-founded Clear Admit with Graham Richmond. For the past six years at Clear Admit, Mr. Ingram’s combination of admissions expertise, marketing experience and editing skills has enabled him to help hundreds of applicants to gain admission to top MBA programs

Mr. Ingram holds a BA in Economics & Political Science from Swarthmore College and an MBA from the Wharton School.

GRAHAM RICHMOND, Co-Founder
Graham Richmond has spent over ten years in the field of MBA admissions. He began his career in the mid 1990’s with MCS Multi-App, an educational software startup offering application software products to business school applicants and admissions officers. In his role as Vice President of Marketing and Operations for the company, Mr. Richmond built industry alliances with organizations like Business Week and the Princeton Review, and assisted tens of thousands of MBA applicants.

Mr. Richmond left his post at MCS Multi-App to pursue an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. While there, he worked as a student admissions officer. In this capacity, he reviewed and rated hundreds of applications and attended weekly admissions committee decision meetings. Upon graduation from Wharton, he joined the Wharton Admissions Committee and helped to redesign the school’s admissions process while representing the program at conferences and forums in the United States and Europe.

After leaving the Wharton admissions office, Graham Richmond co-founded Clear Admit with Mr. Ingram. Clear Admit has since helped thousands of MBA applicants find success in the MBA admissions process - earning a reputation as the leader in the admissions consulting field. Mr. Richmond has subsequently been interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The Chronicle of Higher Education and Business Week and he has also been invited to moderate discussions on several MBA-admissions themed web sites.
