Not only is Michael very responsive and approachable, he is also supportive of your vision and goals and will help you take ownership of your application journey!

I started working with Allie about a month before Round 1 deadlines, and she was super helpful in pulling the last pieces of my application together. She has tons of Wharton knowledge and really helped me flesh out ideas that tied into my overall story. Great communication, quick turnarounds, and really thoughtful feedback—I couldn’t recommend her more!

Alex is an exceptional coach. Her insight and feedback on my MBA application essays was invaluable. She always responded quickly and thoughtfully, and her direction was a great balance of high-level messaging and detailed refinement. Every review with her left me with great direction, and by the end I could submit my application feeling confident that I had conveyed what I wanted to. I would strongly recommend working with Alex on your applications.

My son used Maura to review his application before sending it; he had already driven much of the process himself and needed a final review. She had very insightful comments about how admissions officers would view certain answers and a good overview of feedback on his essays and which ones to focus on the most before submitting. She met with him personally and he said afterwards he found it very valuable.

From the beginning, Debby really makes sure you know exactly what you need to achieve your goals. In my opinion, the greatest thing is that she really facilitated how I wanted to present myself; this way, my application was authentic and remained true to who I really am, and I think this played a big role in achieving success. I really recommend her!

Bryan was instrumental in helping me gain admission to my top-choice graduate school, and I’m incredibly grateful for his support. He guided me through the entire process, reviewing my résumé, personal statement, and the letter of recommendation from my reference. Bryan was honest about the areas I needed to improve, walking me through each one and, in some cases, breaking things down in a way that was both simple and easy to understand. If you're looking to put your best foot forward in your graduate school application, you won’t regret working with Bryan. He brings real experience in the field and uses his knowledge to strengthen both you and your application. Thank you again, Bryan, for the time, effort, and dedication you invested in me and my future!

As a graduate student candidate multiple years removed from admissions game and weak admissions profile, I knew I needed help from someone like Joseph to apply with my best foot forward. Joseph was highly resourceful, professional and timely at every step of the way and I was able to gain admissions at several top programs. I knew how to shape my application and Joseph provided guidance for getting off the waitlist and addressing any lingering weaknesses that could toss my application into the rejected pile. I am starting at USC in the upcoming fall semester. Thanks Joseph!

There are mountains. MOUNTAINS of advice on how to game B School applications. This isn’t Ben. Ben will have you climb a different mountain: distill what is uniquely you. The benefit of that exercise extends far beyond any application. He’ll then help you communicate yourself, powerfully. He’s qualified because he’s one of the most effective communicators I’ve met. All in all, I expected my Leland experience to be transactional, but necessary. I didn’t expect my coach to be intensely interested in me, I didn’t expect to know myself better, and I didn’t expect to come away from it all with a permanent shot of confidence. Boy was I surprised. So if any of that sounds interesting and you want to put together a potent, genuine application with somebody that has your back at every step, Ben is your guy.

I started working with Ellen towards the end of my first application cycle and had no idea where to begin as I started the reapplication process. Ellen took her time to answer all my questions and guided me through the process of improving my application. Additionally, Ellen mentored me as I prepared for the CASPER exam and interviews. She was always there to remind me that I could do it and that I would be able to get into my dream school. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to support them. She is the best!

I worked with Briana for the Wharton TBD. She was helpful and communicated effectively in sharing what was needed to excel.
