Ep 22. Magdala Díaz de Rávago - Tuck: Entrepreneur Baker to Bain Consulting

Today’s guest, Magdala Díaz de Rávago, just graduated from Tuck, and her story is full of grit, creativity, and heart.

Originally from Peru, Magdala built a custom cake business—and while she still bakes on the side for friends, she’s now heading into consulting at Bain. Her road to B-school wasn’t easy: 8 GMAT attempts, a pivot to the GRE, and even delaying her application by a year. But it all worked out—she found her people, and she brought her now-husband along for the ride (he’s graduating too!).

We talk about:
🎯 Her transition from bakery owner to Bain consultant
🧘 Running wellness retreats to support classmates
💪 Staying motivated through a tough admissions journey

Magdala’s story is a reminder that persistence, community, and a little sweetness can go a long way.

Let’s dive in! 🎓🍰
