Working with Ben during the deferred MBA application process is definitely one of the best decisions I could have made. From the jump, Ben made every effort to understand my story, my goals and how all of that fit into a well-crafted narrative I could present in my application. He was incredibly supportive and was readily available to not only answer questions and talk through ideas but help set me on the right track. Ben's background speaks for itself, but he truly is a phenomenal writer so his feedback on all of my essays were incredibly thorough and insightful. He provided feedback and edits that helped me illuminate both my story and voice in a strategic but authentic way. I can say confidently that I would not have had a successful application process without his support and help!

She told me about many different types of questions, her mock was very similar to the original one, and that helped me to get in! Thank you!

Geri was such a kind, insightful, and caring coach. I am sincerely grateful for her support and mentorship–which helped me get into HBS 2+2! Look no further, Geri is your person. :)

Stacey is incredible, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She's incredibly knowledgeable, not just about how to create a well-rounded application, but also how to address the specific nuances that each school I applied to looked out for. Without her help, I don't think my application would've stood out, and I definitely wouldn't be in the position I am today. Most important for me, I felt like Stacey was always in my corner. She was supportive, responsive and pushed me to be better. She consistently went above and beyond to make me feel this, and I could tell it was genuine. If I went through this process again, I'd choose Stacey in a heartbeat.

Victoria is no doubt one of the best consultants you can come across. I remember looking at the 40+ people on Leland that do deferred MBA and ended up choosing Victoria and I have zero doubt that I made the best possible decision She is VERY talented, and her feedback on drafts was actionable, great, and when needed, critical. Feedback I've got from others in the past tended to be general or hard to work off of, but Victoria's feedback was amazing, even after multiple rounds of reviewing the same essays. I will definitely come back to Victoria in the future for any essay help, and I think anyone looking for MBA consulting would be making a great decision by choosing Victoria. Especially for deferred MBA consulting, she was very knowledge and it is clear that she has worked with and has had many admits for the top schools.

I had about six weeks to learn how to case to prep for my interview. He walked through important fundamentals, then moved into more advanced and nuanced things to focus on. He has very good attention to detail and helped push me over the edge in my interview.

Michael made the daunting application process incredibly digestible and straightforward. He's an excellent communicator, and his insights were always tailored, specific, and highly relevant to each part of the application. He brought clarity and confidence to every step. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Christina is an amazing coach who will work with you to make sure you are set up for success. She takes the time to understand your goals and works on an actionable plan to make sure you can achieve your dream job. She helped me improve my resume, refine my story, improve my interview answers, and overall has been a supportive coach throughout the process. I highly recommend her as a coach!

I almost didn’t apply to my dream school. I reached out to Laura after discovering that not only is she a seasoned product marketing executive, but also an incredible MBA and career coach. I thank GOD our paths crossed through Leland. By the time I found her, I had already written all of my essays, but something told me I needed her eyes on them. And wow… I’m so glad I listened to that nudge. Laura's feedback was crystal clear, deeply tactical, and full of wisdom, care, and experience. Sometimes coaching can feel light on value, but not with Laura. Every word, every suggestion, every conversation was productive. She pushed me to think deeper, write sharper, and show up as my whole self. And let’s talk about value: She’s worth 1000% of the cost. There was no “catch,” no fluff ,just honest, high-impact guidance that helped me tell my story with clarity and conviction. This morning, I received a call from Columbia Business School welcoming me to the EMBA Class of 2027. 🙏🏽 Laura, thank you for helping me walk boldly into this next chapter. I hope we stay friends forever!

Kate has been an incredible mentor throughout my Capital One interview preparation. She went above and beyond to help me understand the interview structure and expectations, and provided invaluable guidance in refining my behavioral stories. What stood out most was her communication style—she was always supportive, responsive, and made our coaching sessions highly efficient by preparing tailored "homework" in advance! I’m truly grateful for her mentorship and would highly recommend her to anyone preparing for PM/Consulting interviews.
