As one of my initial pieces towards my MBA application process, Ben provided extremely detailed insights during his class on what people usually (or at least me) struggle with the most: essays! I came out of the class a bit refreshed and with lots of ideas. Highly recommend!

I reached out to Erik a few days to application deadlines. At that point, I was demoralized by my GMAT score and was also struggling with communicating my experiences, motivations and goals. Erik was very supportive and encouraging. He helped me see and communicate my values, perspectives and strengths, which I had previously taken for granted. He has a broad and global view and understood my background and the context of my work experiences. Through probing questions and insightful comments, he helped me tell my story. Erik has a keen attention to detail. He was able to identify defining moments from my experiences from our conversations. He helped me communicate my experiences, values, and goals via compelling essays. He also helped me rework my resume to a standard MBA resume that clearly showed my achievements. Despite the holiday season, he was very responsive and available to address my questions while providing constant encouragement that helped me push through. He gave me more time than I had paid for, and with his support, I was able to submit strong applications to my dream schools. His genuine commitment to my success and optimism were evident throughout the process. Regardless of the outcome, working with Erik has enabled me to gain deeper insights into my motivations and to see value in my experiences and perspectives. I highly recommend Erik’s coaching services and his Getting Started: Stanford and HBS webinar.

i mainly worked on Stanford package with Victoria. I spent 2 hours to finish the majority of what matters essay and why stanford. and then spent another 2 hours for other essays (like short answer essay) and check the application profile. She does a good job at making essay more cohesive, contributing ideas on why gsb. Victoria provided a discount to book her with 2 courses together. The price is extremely good considering the content and quality she provided!

i booked 2 coaching sessions with Dallin. One for guidance on my HBS essay what's more, and one for my wharton package (mainly reapplicant essay, but also use the remaining time to review two main essays.) i would say Dallin is quite helpful. He helped me create a vivid narrative connecting dots to tell my story. And he is quite efficient. Also, i am from China. i suggested that we used zoom since it could provide CC (caption) which would be easier for me to follow. I did not feel pressure when I talked about my stories with him.

I accidentally stumbled upon Cian's profile on Leland and it was a very happy accident! Cian is kind and more than that, he wants you to achieve the goals you have for yourself more than you do. He wants you to succeed. Stellar coach and very meticulous with essays. Couldn't recommend enough.

Roberto is one of those incredible and really natural coaches who gets to the core right off the bat. I loved how he was able to help me figure out what I actually wanted through coaching by laying it out for me. I also am immensely grateful to Roberto for really bringing in a perspective that was very unique to my application. He helped me take a step back and have a lens to look at my weaknesses nourish them and lean into my strengths. I loved how he is truly supportive and wants you to succeed. I felt I had Roberto on my team and his thoughtfulness was a crucial part of my application. Roberto was generous with his advice and also went out of his way to share some of his own personal experiences to help me as I was framing my narrative. I definitely am happy to have gotten to know and work with Roberto and will continue to do so and I highly recommend him on your applications and career trajectories.

Mario was skillful, knowledgeable, and always came with great insights. His frameworks for helping me think through my application were a huge help for top programs.

I had a session with Annie to gain some direction as I approach my deferred MBA applications. Annie helped provide amazing guidance on application materials, timelines, and resources. I'm really glad I was able to have this conversation with a fellow first-gen who can understand the obscurity of MBA applications. Thanks, Annie!
