Simran’s MBA Qualifications
Simran has helped clients get into these schools:
For 10 years, the Harvard Business School MBA felt like a distant dream. I didn’t come from a target school, a brand-name firm, or a background admissions committees are used to saying “yes” to. No one from my undergrad, master’s, or organization had ever gone to HBS. Coming from an over-represented pool made it even harder. But I still got in. I did it by understanding what elite MBA programs actually look for and by crafting a story that stood out in a sea of similar profiles. Today, I coach applicants from non-traditional and over-represented backgrounds to do the same. I’ve walked this path myself. I’ll help you walk it smarter.

About Simran
I don't come from a typical cookie-cutter MBA pipeline. I went to a Tier-3 college in India that most people haven’t heard of. I worked in industries and companies where no one talked about Harvard, let alone planned for it. As an international applicant from an over-represented background, I knew the odds were stacked against me. I managed to get into Harvard Business School through intentional career choices and a clear story of impact. Along the way, I was incredibly lucky. People took time out of their lives to mentor me, review my applications, and believe in me when I didn’t fully believe in myself. I wouldn’t be where I am without them. Coaching on Leland is my way of giving that back. I do not "sell a dream" or maximize my profit. I do this because people once invested their time and resources in my success, and I want to do the same for others. If you don’t come from a flashy school, brand-name company, or “perfect” background, I get it. I’ve been there. And I want to help you see that your story, when told honestly and clearly, is enough.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I was lucky to have mentors over the last decade who helped me shape my career trajectory and my narrative. They propelled me like a rocket, providing insights on everything - even the small but crucial decisions, like whether to take the GMAT or GRE. Their personal experiences gave me a reference point I could consider, adapt, and follow for myself. I want to do the same for others (without asking for your inheritance in return) because what I received was given generously, with time, guidance, and belief!
