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.

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!!! :)

From our first intro call, I knew Geri was the right person to work with. She possesses a remarkable talent for understanding your background and identifying key narrative threads to stitch together. Throughout the process, Geri wore many hats —coach, therapist, and mentor. Her responsiveness and expertise provided me with both confidence and exceptional preparation. 10/10 would work with Geri again!

Ian went above and beyond during my MBA journey. He was very responsive and an excellent sounding board. Definitely recommend!

Working with Maya has been wonderful, she gives thoughtful advice and makes sure your interview responses are introspective, honest, and framing your true self. I loved working with her and she truly makes her self available to meet your schedule to make sure you get the help you need. Make sure to hit up Maya for all your interview prep and school prep needs!

Bria was instrumental in my journey to getting accepted at Sloan! She developed a personalized interview prep plan that helped me refine my story and tailor it specifically for MIT. Her insights were key in helping me connect with the interviewer and make a strong impression. Beyond the prep, she genuinely believed in me and consistently supported me, especially when things didn’t go as planned. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone applying to Sloan or any other top program! Thank you, Bria!

I had spoken to multiple coaches, but Vica stood out from the first call. She’s honest, strategic, and incredibly thoughtful in her feedback. She pushed me to think deeper about my story and guided me in framing it in a way that felt authentic but also aligned with what each school values. If you’re lucky enough to work with her, take full advantage. You won’t regret it.
