Working with Krysta at Leland was, without a doubt, one (if not) the best decisions I made during my MSBA application journey. I came into the process genuinely thinking I had no chance at all, believing I was just another average applicant. Thanks to Krysta’s support, that changed entirely. Krysta has a rare and extraordinary talent for understanding not only the essay prompts but the true purpose and depth behind each question. She guided me in building essays that were not just well-written, but also transcendental, meaningful, and touching. Her ability to help me convey a strong, authentic message transformed my application from what I thought was ordinary into one that stood out, ultimately allowing me to gain acceptance into my top-choice programs. She is, in the purest sense of the word, a writing wizard. She sees the heart of a narrative and helps shape it into something powerful and unforgettable. Her insight, kindness, and dedication were key to turning my story into something worth reading and remembering. Krysta, I want you to know that being accepted into my top-choice school is something I will carry with me forever, and I will always be grateful to you for that. Your guidance changed my life in ways that words can barely express. Thank you for everything!

I had 2 sessions with Thang working on behavioral + product design questions. Thang was super helpful in giving direct applicable feedback, while also tying the explanations back into the overall process in an easy to understand way. Definitely recommend if you are looking to ace your interviews.

Greg is an outstanding MBA coach who played a crucial role in my application process. MBA applications are not an easy journey, but Greg was there to support me every step of the way. He is patient, incredibly helpful, and always willing to provide thoughtful feedback. From brainstorming ideas to refining essays, his guidance was invaluable. Greg also has deep knowledge on climate-related topics, which was especially beneficial. He made a challenging process manageable and even enjoyable. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert support for their MBA application!!

You can’t go wrong with Matt!! 1. Expertise: Matt has an impressive background, having worked at some of the best firms in finance. He’s rock-solid not only on technical questions but also on macro and industry trends, which added incredible depth to our mock sessions and discussions. His insights were practical and spot-on. 2. Behavioral Coaching: Matt’s understanding of psychology is unparalleled. He gave me strategies to leave a great impression during interviews and coffee chats, tailored to different levels of seniority. It was truly eye-opening and made a big difference in how I approach conversations. 3. Supportive: When I mentioned that I had a Superday coming up, Matt went above and beyond, adjusting his schedule to accommodate a late-night mock session. His dedication gave me invaluable confidence and made a huge impact on my preparation.

Great experience with Michael. He emphasizes both the hard- and soft-skills needed to land a consulting offer.

I worked with Bria on MIT interview prep, including Sloan's 2 pre-interview essays and mock interview. Working with her was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application process, especially for MIT Sloan. From the very first session, it was clear she wasn’t just offering generic advice—she truly understood me and my goals. Her feedback on my pre-interview essays was thoughtful and direct, helping me craft answers that felt authentic while clearly showing why an MBA was the next step for me. She challenged me to connect the dots in ways I hadn’t thought of, making my story not only stronger but also more meaningful. During mock interview, she pushed me to think critically about every potential question and to articulate my responses with confidence and clarity. When I walked into the actual interview, I felt completely prepared. In the end, EVERY single question I was asked by the adcom was something we had practiced together! Bria has a way of bringing out the best in you. Her insight, encouragement, and honesty were exactly what I needed for Sloan interview. I couldn’t have done it without her!

M and Jesse have been wonderful to work with throughout my MBA application journey. Their strategic approach, beginning with in-depth school research, has been instrumental in my preparation. While I come from a non-traditional background (Military/Defense), Jesse's expert guidance and ability to refine my application components have helped me craft a compelling narrative that showcases my unique strengths. With their experience and insightful feedback, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been accepted to London Business School, IE Business School, and Imperial College Business School. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Jesse and M to navigate the admissions process and present your best self.

Cami completely accelerated my IB recruiting process growth in just a few weeks. I went from knowing absolutely nothing about technicals to mastering them and learning more than I thought was humanly possible in such a short period of time. Thanks to her expert coaching, I landed an early IB Associate internship offer at Citi's NY office and felt confident I could have secured several more—from the interviews I earned because of her. Finding Cami as a coach was a game-changer for me and directly resulted in my recruiting success! She was also very kind and encouraging, and never judged me, which are some of the most important things I value in a coach. I would have paid Cami $400 per session and still spent the same number of sessions with her, because it was that worth it.

Working with Steven as my MBB coach was invaluable. While I explored several coaches, Steven's knowledge and approach stood out as truly exceptional. He has a deep understanding of the MBB interview process, particularly the personal experience stories, and was instrumental in helping me craft compelling and memorable narratives. Beyond the personal experience interview, Steven's grasp of the casing process was incredibly helpful. He provided insightful frameworks and strategies that allowed me to approach cases with a more structured and analytical mindset. Steven's feedback was always specific, actionable, and delivered with a balance of encouragement and directness. He ensured every session was maximized for effectiveness, leaving me feeling more prepared and confident. I wholeheartedly recommend Steven to anyone serious about pursuing a career in MBB consulting. I wish I had discovered his coaching earlier in my journey! Thanks to his guidance, I'm excited to begin my career at BCG.

Just finished a great session with Elise talking about interview strategies. She's incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with overall strategy as well as personal feedback. Couldn't recommend her enough.
