Description

This package is designed for motivated Master’s applicants who want to build a strong application foundation with expert support—without committing to a full, end-to-end engagement. Whether you're just starting your Master’s journey or looking to clarify your direction, this flexible option helps you focus on what matters most, right now. You’ll partner with a Leland coach to strategically tackle the parts of the process that will have the greatest impact. Your coach will help you prioritize your time, identify key areas of opportunity, and build momentum toward your target programs. Common coaching activities in this package include, but are not limited to: - Initial kickoff and planning session: Dive into your background, goals, and timeline to co-create a personalized game plan. - Profile evaluation: Get honest, strategic feedback on your strengths, gaps, and overall competitiveness for your target programs. - Program selection: Curate a list of Master’s programs that align with your academic interests, professional goals, and personal preferences. - Application strategy: Define the key differentiators in your story and map how they’ll come through across your materials. - Essay brainstorming & editing: Explore pivotal experiences and uncover strong thematic angles to anchor your narrative. - Resume review: Reframe your resume to highlight academic achievements, research, leadership, or professional experience—tailored to Master’s admissions. - Recommender strategy and prep: Select the best combination of recommenders and equip them with thoughtful prep documents. This package is ideal for applicants who want high-leverage support early in the process. It’s your launchpad to a compelling, well-positioned Master’s application that helps you stand out.

Adcom experience at USC, Stanford & UChicago as a former admissions staff

With years of experience supporting graduate students across top institutions, I specialize in guiding applicants through the Master’s and PhD admissions process with strategy, insight, and heart. I earned my undergraduate degree from UCLA and a Master’s in Higher Education from USC, and I've since worked with some of the nation’s most competitive programs including Stanford’s PhD in Biosciences, the University of Chicago’s PhD in Biophysical Sciences, and USC Marshall’s Master’s in Finance and Marketing. Whether you're applying to business, science, or interdisciplinary programs, I bring deep insider knowledge, a sharp understanding of what makes applications stand out, and a passion for helping each student find the right fit and tell their unique story.
