Ready For THIS Round: Pressure-Test and Polish
You've already done the hard part. The essays are drafted, the resume exists, your application is taking shape. What you want now is an expert eye to make all of it undeniable before it reaches a committee. With 20+ years in MBA admissions and three Poets & Quants Top 10 recognitions, I take what you've written and help you sharpen it to its strongest version. This is polish, not a rebuild. You bring your materials and we refine them together. We start with a working session where I read everything you have with fresh eyes, find where your story lands and where it doesn't, then spend our hours tightening it. Across our time together, we cover: - A full read and honest diagnostic of your existing essays, resume, and application - Line-by-line essay refinement across multiple rounds - Resume tightening for how admissions readers actually read - Recommender strategy, if you still need to brief yours - Interview preparation once invitations come It's built for someone applying this round who already has momentum and wants to cross the finish line at full strength.
What's included
Live sessions via Zoom for strategy and essay development with asynchronous review of drafts between sessions. Communication through the Leland platform as needed. My approach is dynamic, interactive, and compassionate. I wouldn't be working with you if I didn't have full confidence in your ability to succeed. This is a partnership, and I bring a whatever-it-takes commitment to getting you across the finish line.
- Essays and video statement plans sharpened to their strongest, most distinctive version
- A resume that reads the way admissions readers need it to
- A clear-eyed sense of where the application was soft, and the fixes made
- The confidence of submitting work that's been through an expert's hands
