Daniel was instrumental in helping me case prep - he tailors the cases given to areas of improvement and gives concise, actionable feedback in a manner that is easily digestible. Daniel also goes above and beyond, providing advice and support both on and offline. Would 100% recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a mentor who really cares about your ambitions and growth.

Claire was an amazing coach and went above and beyond. She was extremely responsive, even with all her commitments, she still replied to my not-so-infrequent 2 am messages. She provided very honest feedback and wasn't just an admissions coach; she was also a bit of a therapist, telling me when I was overthinking things and offering unwavering support throughout the process. Her comments were to the point and actionable, and they truly took my application to the next level. Having her help me draft a clear action plan and stick to it was extremely helpful– she definitely kept me on my toes. Although I hesitated at first about getting a coach, looking back this was a great investment. Without Claire, my application wouldn't have been even 70% as good as it was with her guidance. I initially booked only three hours with her, but I quickly realized there was so much value in those sessions that I needed to book more time with her. While I haven't received my outcomes yet (I'll update this review as I hear back), I strongly recommend her as a coach to anyone considering deferred admissions.

Billy was extremely helpful as I prepared for my Meta PM interviews. It is clear that Billy is extremely knowledgable in the interview process and has extensive Product experience. Because of this, Billy was able to provide tailored feedback and opportunity areas to help me feel confident going into my interviews. I would highly recommend Billy as you prepare for your PM interviews.

Business school applications are incredibly taxing and confusing. I had no idea where to start before meeting Faisal. I made a very late decision to apply to business school in R2 back in November, and got on my first call with Faisal with only a vague idea of what I wanted to do and where I might want to go. Through Faisal's excellent project management, he helped me break down every week into (somewhat) digestible steps and made sure that I stayed on top of each of my deadlines. He also coached me with some needed tough love, pointing out which parts of my application upon which I needed to focus. Faisal also helped me to craft my story. One of the first activities that we did together was an MBA DNA, which forced me to reflect and state in my own words what I really wanted and why. This exercise absolutely was the cornerstone for every single essay that I wrote, both for the schools for which I was leveraging Faisal's support, as well as applications that I chose to do on my own. Fast forward a few short months later, and I am now in a spot that I never thought was possible when Faisal and I started working together; accepted to almost every single of the business schools to which I applied with almost $550k total in merit scholarships including multiple full rides to T10 schools. I can say without a doubt that I would not have reached the successes that I did in this application cycle without Faisal. I highly, highly recommend his services!

Krysta was a game changer in helping me organize my thoughts on my career and experiences so far into an essay. While I knew where I wanted to apply and generally how I wanted to sell myself, it was so helpful to have someone convey feedback and guidance on my essay direction and structure.

Our conversation was effortless and incredibly impactful. Angela has an extraordinary ability to see and bring out your essence through simple conversation. She has a gift for enabling greatness

I am truly indebted and thankful to Tim for his impactful and relentless guidance and iterations throughout the application process. He understood and empathized with my situation and restored my faith in myself. I'm glad that I found a mentor like Tim, and also grateful to the Leland team for always assisting me through the application process.

Justin helped me prepare for the Sloan interview. His feedback on my pre-interview essays strengthened my story and made it more engaging. I really enjoyed working with him and would definitely recommend him to others!

If your goal is HBS, the GSB, or any of the M7, you can’t go wrong with Andy. As a chronic over-researcher, I spoke with countless consultants, and it quickly became clear that Andy is in a league of his own. He has an outstanding track record of helping candidates break into HBS and the GSB. Andy has been doing this for years and has probably read more applications than many admissions officers themselves. He knows exactly what it takes to stand out—without ever losing the authenticity that resonates with the adcom. He’s a master storyteller who teaches you how to craft a narrative that cuts through the noise of thousands of other applications. I worked with Andy on a comprehensive package of schools, and it was immediately clear how well he understands what each school is looking for. I never imagined I’d get into both HBS and the GSB, especially given how differently they evaluate candidates—but that’s exactly what happened. Andy knows how to tailor your story so it speaks directly to each program’s values and culture. I read the other reviews before working with Andy, and they did not lie! Go with Andy!

I had an incredible experience working with Geri during my MBA reapplication journey!! I couldn't recommend her enough :) As a reapplicant, I had to change my approach and working with Geri this time around was worth every minute! From the very first meeting, she was always so quick to reply, provided detailed feedback, and genuine dedication to my success. What truly set her apart was how she helped me dig deep as I worked through my essays—this wasn’t just about revisions, it was about reflecting on my story, refining my goals, and presenting my true value in the most compelling way possible. One of the things I absolutely loved was how she started our very first call by having me fill out a discovery doc. This gave her an in-depth understanding of my journey, motivations, and aspirations, making every session super productive and tailored to my unique needs. She asked thoughtful questions that not only improved my application but also gave me a fresh perspective on my own path. And let me tell you, she was SO motivating! :) Whenever I felt overwhelmed or uncertain, she was right there with the encouragement I needed to push forward. Her positivity and belief in me were incredibly uplifting and kept me focused on my goal. Thanks to her expert guidance and unwavering support, I got into my DREAM school—Wharton! I truly believe her expertise and motivating energy were absolutely essential in helping me craft an application that stood out. Working with Geri was one of the best decisions I made, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for not just a consultant, but a coach who will empower you to reach your fullest potential. You are awesome, Geri!!! :)
