As a STEM major wanting to pivot to the legal field, I remember sitting down to write my personal statements and blanking over and over again. That is when I reached out to Craig on LeLand. We set up an intro call, and I knew immediately that his insight would get me into an amazing law school. For the next few months, Craig helped me create a strong portfolio highlighting how my unique background and interests make me a competitive candidate for the top law schools in the nation. Ultimately, his patience, guidance, and support led me to receive an offer of admission from Columbia Law School and the University of Toronto. Overall, Craig was a pleasure to work with. His schedule was extremely flexible—always being a phone call or a message away when I had a quick question or needed to discuss topics at a greater length. I can confidently say that Craig's help is the reason I have a T-14 admission offer, and will forever be grateful for the time I spent working with him.

Alex is super helpful in helping craft your story, and great at answering any questions about the process along the way. Admitted to both schools we worked on together (Kellogg & Fuqua) with strong scholarship offers.

Emily was the perfect coach for my application process. After reading all sorts of forums and talking with other coaching services my head was filled with all sorts of contradicting information and target schools. I also came in with some nuance to my situation, but she helped me navigate and understand exactly how to put my progression on to paper. She was honest yet caring in how she delivered feedback. Quickly delivered multiple rounds of feedback on essays, even in inconvenient times. The mock interview was also very helpful as it prepared me for all sorts of behavioral questions you don't see in regular job interviews and made me think about my answers before going in to interviews. Would recommend Emily to anyone I knew going through the process.

From my first meeting with Geri, she was so kind, approachable, knowledgeable, and supportive. Geri really took the time to listen to what I wanted out of my deferred MBA process, and she set up a clear path for me to succeed in my applications. With Geri's help, I was able to craft compelling essays that felt genuine and thoughtful, which I wouldn't have been able to do alone. Geri was beyond patient for the five months we worked together, and she knows so much about every M7 school. Geri not only helped me get into one of my top choice schools, but she helped me learn so many valuable lessons about myself. Geri turned an incredibly intimidating, arduous process into a navigable, stress-free endeavor. I would recommend Geri every single time for anyone!!!

Brennen is sharp and incredibly talented in his craft of storytelling, with a wealth of experience and knowledge in MBA applications and interviews. Working with Brennen gave me clarity on my story and confidence in my voice, to create a crisp and convincing application. It is rare to find people who are deeply invested in your success and your story, and Brennen is truly one such rare gem. Thanks to him, I secured admission to deferred MBA programs at HBS and Sloan and recommend him to the highest degree!

I worked with Yvette from February on MBA applications and couldn't recommend her more. What stood out to me about her was: - her ability to really get a grasp of my personal story and guide me through a structured reflective process where I eventually arrived at conclusions about my motivations and qualities that I could infuse into my essays - no BS attitude. She would push back on some ideas during the revision process which ultimately elevated my writing. - constant support and flexibility. i was in school while applying to these programs, and often would need to add new sessions on short-notice, and i found her to be accommodating. she was also a great source of confidence during times where i doubted that my profile would be competitive for the schools i was applying to. her interview prep made me feel well-prepared as it simulated an almost exact replica of what i would experience in the actual interviews. overall, I couldn't recommend her more!

Andy P was an incredible MBA coach who played a huge role in helping me get into Wharton through the Moelis Advance Access Program. He took the time to understand my background and helped me shape a strong, authentic story. One thing I appreciated most was that he was brutally honest about what he thought of my profile and chances. It was not always easy to hear, but it pushed me to improve and made a big difference in the long run. The unlimited revisions and talking time you pay for is 100 percent worth it. I needed the help and attention to detail across every part of my profile, and Andy delivered. His clear and focused feedback gave me the confidence I needed throughout the entire process.

Highly recommend working with Geri. She is an absolute pro and is so lovely to work with. She is so organized, responsive and concise with clear actionable guidance. Thank you so much Geri!

Machmud was wonderful in helping me prep for interviews and strategies for applying to big law positions. He was great at giving me feedback and helping me emphasize my strengths, and was always incredibly responsive + helpful. He encouraged me to stay positive with my goals and I probably wouldn't have been so confident in both the process and interviews otherwise, which led me to get multiple offers even as a KJD and sign at a firm I'm very excited about! His knowledge and attitude were incredibly helpful in the process and will definitely make an impact on your interviewing and confidence.

Highly recommend booking coaching sessions with Michael! He's not only well versed in the application process for competitive fellowships like Schwarzman Scholars, but he's also genuinely invested in your growth and success. Super flexible with timing and your needs, it was my first time getting coaching services and I had an overall great experience. I ended up being accepted as a Schwarzman Scholar with his guidance!
