Vic was exactly who I needed. She didn’t just run a mock and say “good job”—she listened, stopped me when I rambled, and showed me how to make each answer clear and to the point. We practiced timing, follow-ups, and how to end strong. I’m not a native English speaker, and she helped me use simple language without losing my message. Before the interview I felt calm because we’d already seen every angle. I got an offer from CBS. If you want honest feedback and real practice—not fluff—work with Vic.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Jasmine. From day one, she took the time to understand my background, goals, and aspirations, and helped me translate that into a powerful application narrative. Jasmine struck the perfect balance of support and encouragement while also pushing me to dig deeper to craft a truly unique applicant story. What stood out most was Jasmine’s incredible storytelling ability, which helped me bring out my authentic voice across all applications. From recommendation strategy packets and application brainstorming, to every essay and interview prep session, each step of the process was guided by her clear expertise and her empathetic, dedicated commitment to my success. I found the MBA application process daunting at first, but Jasmine broke down each goal step by step, and I always felt like I had a trusted partner in my corner throughout the journey. The results spoke for themselves. I was admitted to Stanford, Northwestern, and Michigan (the only 3 schools I applied to!). Beyond the outcomes, though, I walk away from this process with greater clarity about my leadership journey and long-term goals. Since you're reading this and also in search of an MBA coach to support your journey, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Jasmine; I'm confident she’ll bring out the best in you too.

Matthew is fantastic -- he’s supportive, sharp, and genuinely invested in your success! From the start, he took time to understand my background and goals, and consistently went above and beyond in helping me identify resources, highlight my strengths, aim high. His support and expertise have made a huge difference in my preparation and overall confidence going into the process: I got into my dream Oxford program and secured 50k+ in scholarships! He is deeply knowledgeable about the MBA application process (from how to shape your story to funding) and speaks from experience, but more than that, he works incredibly hard to make sure you are set up for success given your unique circumstances and ambitions. He is incredibly thoughtful and supportive way beyond what is typically expected of MBA coaching! I can’t recommend him highly enough!

M is straightforward and iterates quickly. MBA admissions isn't as straightforward as I'd like but she keeps it honest and calibrates my expectations

Throughout the entire application process, Tim was exactly what I needed him to be. He responded quickly to my (numerous) requests for help and was very proactive about helping me to be successful. I would recommend him wholeheartedly for any services he offers. You won't be disappointed!

Abigail was able to help me with my resume for business school. She was quick to help, ask questions and make the proper recommendations necessary. I would gladly use her again in the future.

Working with Claire was a great experience - when one of my initial coaches became too busy and backed out, she stepped up and was able to take over quickly and effectively. From there, working with her was great - fast iterations on essays and great advice, as well as providing perspectives and takes that would help me differentiate myself from other candidates & boiler-plate essays. Would highly recommend getting Claire's help, and she went above & beyond what was necessary to make me feel as supported as possible!

Steve was extremely responsive, even within a tight timeline, and consistently thoughtful with his feedback on both my essays + MBA resume. His comments were both detailed and constructive, and he brought fresh perspectives and actionable suggestions that meaningfully strengthened my application. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dedicated and insightful support during the application process.

Thanks to him, I could write powerful essays. He tried to understand my story first and came up with better edits, considering context and stories.

Having attended a few free Leland sessions, I was actually planning to go with a different coach, but I decided to coach with Claire because I saw that she would be someone who would 1) keep me honest with whatever timeline I set, 2) provide encouragement to keep pushing through the process, 3) and give honest feedback. And she certainly delivered! Claire was very responsive to my messages; tailored in her approach, e.g., we put together a coaching package for what I was looking for; and provided direct, directional, and insightful comments on essays to help me make the next draft meaningfully better. I particularly appreciated her check-in messages and words of encouragement. On top of this, she was really efficient with her reviews and helped me stretch my coaching time to get everything across the finish line. In short, Claire is great.
