Anna supported me from the very first brainstorming session all the way through the final version of my essays. She was thoughtful, encouraging, and always available when I needed guidance. I’d absolutely recommend Anna to anyone applying to HBS.

From the beginning Ariel was very communicative, clear, and helpful. Not only did Ariel help edit my statements, but provided expert guidance throughout the whole process. I think what really makes Ariel stand out from other law school coaches on Leland is her genuine approach. Ariel was encouraging and took time to fully understand my statements, situation, and overall goals. I feel a lot more confident applying now with Ariel's support. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a coach who listens and works with you to reach your law school aspirations!! 10/10

Shane asked the questions I hadn’t been asked in the entire year I’ve spent working on applications, attending seminars, and even working with a personal consultant. He is nonjudgmental, patient, refreshingly honest, and he thoughtfully draws on his own impressive experiences in a way that genuinely helps you shape your own story. I came into the session thinking I had already heard everything there was to know about the MBA application process, but Shane pushed me to think differently (especially from an admissions perspective) while remaining incredibly relatable. The conversation felt less like a formal advising session and more like your really successful, sharp friend giving you gems. I left the call feeling re-energized and excited to keep pushing forward.

I started my MBA application journey (4 schools) around ~1 month prior to the first R1 school deadline. Despite the accelerated timeline, Alyssa helped me stay organized with a schedule and was incredibly supportive and responsive the entire way. I believe Alyssa's feedback for my essays and resume truly brought them to the next level to help me tell a comprehensive, multi-dimensional story.

Mary helped me get into my dream school, Columbia University! Mary and I have been working together since my sophomore year and she has treated me with nothing but kindness, understanding, and diligence. Her skills are truly unmatched and you cannot find a better person to go to for college applications. Even while traveling, Mary made her schedule flexible so I could match the time differences and meet deadlines. I am so glad I started working with her early on because she pushed me to challenge myself academically and in other ways that made my application competitive. Even during stressful times in senior fall, Mary guided me to choose my ED school and helped me get in! I am forever grateful and couldn’t recommend her as a counselor enough!
