This package is designed for college seniors and final-year students who want to secure their MBA seat before even starting their full-time career. Deferred MBA programs are unique, and together we’ll make sure your application reflects both your current strengths and your future potential. Here’s how we’ll work step by step: 1. Kickoff & Planning Session - We’ll dive into your academics, internships, leadership experiences, and long-term goals. From there, we’ll build a personalized roadmap to guide us through every deadline. 2. School Selection - We’ll identify the right deferred MBA programs for your aspirations, strengths, and potential career path. 3. Application Strategy - We’ll define what sets you apart at this early stage and connect those differentiators to a compelling vision for your future. 4. MBA Resume - We’ll transform your internships, projects, leadership roles, and campus involvement into a sharp, one-page resume that highlights both achievement and potential. 5. Recommender Selection - We’ll evaluate professors, managers, and mentors to choose recommenders who can highlight your strengths, and build a plan for engaging them effectively. 6. Recommender Preparation - We’ll co-create polished prep documents to ensure your recommenders can confidently write standout letters. 7. Essay Brainstorming - We’ll dig into your story—academics, internships, leadership, and personal experiences—to pull out themes and craft authentic narratives. 8. Essay Editing - We’ll refine your essays through multiple rounds of edits until they’re polished, powerful, and tailored to each school. 9. Activities, Awards & Interests - We’ll highlight extracurriculars, community engagement, and honors that give your application depth and dimension. 10. Final Review - We’ll review everything—essays, resume, short answers, and recommender strategy—so your full application is cohesive and compelling. 11. Interview Preparation - If you receive an interview invite, we’ll practice with mock interviews so you feel confident articulating both your experiences and your vision. In short—we’ll be a team from start to finish. I’ll keep us organized, provide candid feedback, and ensure your application reflects both who you are now and who you want to become. By the end, we’ll not only submit world-class applications—you’ll also walk away with deeper self-awareness, a stronger story, and the confidence of knowing you’re launching your future early.

Hi, I’m Claire — one of Leland’s fastest-growing coaches and a Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford. As a GSB + HBS deferred admit, I’ve helped 50+ applicants from all backgrounds earn 75+ admits across every M7 school — and many more. I bring insider perspective as a current MBA + MA in Education student, and professional experience from Bain, Silver Lake, Nike, and Eniac Ventures. I know how to position your story with authenticity and impact — and I don’t just help you brainstorm ideas, I teach you how to deliver them with confidence. I’m a storytelling nerd, an interview wizard, and a coach who knows how to help you win. Let’s turn your story into your superpower — and get you into your dream school.
