Tanner guided me through every part of my NYU application—refining my CV, building a coherent narrative, sharpening my essay, and preparing me for the interview. He understands the admissions process at a deep level and knows exactly how to shape an application without ever forcing a generic mold. As an unconventional applicant, working with him gave me clarity, structure, and direction. I applied only to one program and received an offer. Strong recommendation.

M. and I prepared in advance and had one-hour feedback discussion together. M. helped me see my impact from a new angle and translate it clearly on my CV. Clear and practical feedback. I highly recommend M. for MBA applications and resume optimization.

Ash has a good understanding of what graduate schools are looking for and offers helpful suggestions.

I was scared to start my admission essays as someone with no mentors, so having Ariel's help throughout the process has made me so much more confident in my material. She helped me brainstorm personal statement topics and figure out the most powerful narrative I could craft. She is very prompt and the person to rely on when wanting your drafts proofread. Ariel's feedback on my essays helped me improve them to the best of my abilities, and now I feel much better about applying to schools. I couldn't have done it without her!

Felt like he was really invested in working with me, and it was helpful as he pushed my thinking to come up with the best version of my essays, which is huge

Karla is hands down the best MBA coach on Leland. She is incredibly intelligent, genuinely helpful, and makes sure you feel supported from the very beginning. She guided me through so many unknowns and set realistic expectations throughout the entire process. I highly, highly recommend working with Karla for your MBA coaching needs!

Working with Anoma was one of the best decisions I made during my Knight Hennessy application process. She is not just a coach. She is part editor, part strategist, and part therapist in the best possible way. She has a unique ability to draw out meaningful stories, ask thoughtful questions, and help you articulate experiences you did not even realize were powerful. What stood out most was how deeply she cares. She treats her clients with genuine attentiveness and compassion, and it is clear that she is fully invested in your success. Even when I was rushing to pull things together at the last minute, she remained a steady and encouraging presence. She was a real cheerleader who kept reminding me that I could do it, and her confidence in me helped me find confidence in myself. Beyond her skill and insight, she brings warmth, patience, and a thoughtful eye for detail that elevates every draft. She helps you find your own voice and express it with clarity and authenticity. I am truly grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone applying to Knight Hennessy, GSB, or any competitive fellowship. She is amazing!

I had only an intro call with Pedro within that one call, he gave me perfect clarity on what I should do in my career pathway to eventually be able to get into the Stanford MBA. He was brutally honest, extremely caring, genuine, and easy to get along with. I highly recommend Pedro!!
