I attended Rusty’s session on “Landing an M7 MBA Acceptance with a Non-Traditional Background’ on the Leland platform. I wanted to learn more about non-traditional backgrounds, being a female applicant of younger age and with a double major that might not fit the routine backgrounds of IB, consultants, and tech. I joined the webinar a bit late but found Rusty to be an excellent presenter and gained useful nuggets of information that will help me as I think through my applications and essays. It was a thoughtful presentation and I appreciate Rusty providing this information to applicants.

As a non-traditional MBA applicant, I was initially concerned that all my efforts would be overlooked in favor of candidates with banking or consulting backgrounds. However, attending Rusty's info session on non-traditional applicants completely changed my perspective. I learned that my unique background is not a hindrance but actually a strength. I'm incredibly grateful to Rusty for this eye-opening insight and the renewed confidence I now feel.

Rusty was well prepared and balanced sharing the information that he had prepared with answering questions from the attendees. He did a good job generalizing questions that were too specific for the group setting. Overall, a thoughtful presentation that will help anyone as they consider their business school applications.

Recently attended Rusty session on Landing an M7 MBA Acceptance with a Non-Traditional Background. Immensely grateful to him and Leland for providing so much info for free. It was super useful to hear more about how we can think about the MBA application journey through Rusty's own experience as a backdrop. Definitely feel like some concerns about applying to an elite MBA program were assuaged.

Insightful!!!

Genuinely one of the most amazing mentors I have gotten the chance to have. Michael has this ability to structure thoughts and express them in a cohesive yet captivating style that I'd have to spend years replicating. Few people have both the right seasoning and right ingredients but oh man can Michael cook. Could not have asked for someone better to work with

I received coaching from Asha when I was trying to lateral from a bulge bracket IB to a boutique IB. I was truly impressed with how knowledgeable Asha is. I felt that a true improvement with each session. She conducted mock interviews with me, helped enhance my deal walk-throughs, and quizzed me on my knowledge. Even on behavioral questions, Asha improved how I worded my answers. I successfully received the new job offer!
