Geri was such a kind, insightful, and caring coach. I am sincerely grateful for her support and mentorship–which helped me get into HBS 2+2! Look no further, Geri is your person. :)

Stacey is incredible, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She's incredibly knowledgeable, not just about how to create a well-rounded application, but also how to address the specific nuances that each school I applied to looked out for. Without her help, I don't think my application would've stood out, and I definitely wouldn't be in the position I am today. Most important for me, I felt like Stacey was always in my corner. She was supportive, responsive and pushed me to be better. She consistently went above and beyond to make me feel this, and I could tell it was genuine. If I went through this process again, I'd choose Stacey in a heartbeat.

Victoria is no doubt one of the best consultants you can come across. I remember looking at the 40+ people on Leland that do deferred MBA and ended up choosing Victoria and I have zero doubt that I made the best possible decision She is VERY talented, and her feedback on drafts was actionable, great, and when needed, critical. Feedback I've got from others in the past tended to be general or hard to work off of, but Victoria's feedback was amazing, even after multiple rounds of reviewing the same essays. I will definitely come back to Victoria in the future for any essay help, and I think anyone looking for MBA consulting would be making a great decision by choosing Victoria. Especially for deferred MBA consulting, she was very knowledge and it is clear that she has worked with and has had many admits for the top schools.

Michael made the daunting application process incredibly digestible and straightforward. He's an excellent communicator, and his insights were always tailored, specific, and highly relevant to each part of the application. He brought clarity and confidence to every step. I couldn’t recommend him more.

I met Indrani through one of her training courses "How to Write Outstanding Law School Application Essays" and am so grateful I did! Indrani worked with me from start to finish on finding a package that made sense for me and was a crutch for me throughout the process when I doubted myself. She was always available and such a quick responder. I decided to take an alternate route and apply to law school with just a JD-Next Exam and I am happy to say I was accepted to several schools with scholarship money. Her patience throughout the essay writing process was tremendous and she did not stop until we both felt the essays were where they should be, always providing valuable input. I would choose to work with Indrani and happily recommend her to anyone I know. So worth the investment and she is truly with you every step of the way from applying, reviewing every single piece of information put into your application, to waitlist strategy, and beyond. She provided me such piece of mind, especially being a first-gen student who felt overwhelmed by the process!

I almost didn’t apply to my dream school. I reached out to Laura after discovering that not only is she a seasoned product marketing executive, but also an incredible MBA and career coach. I thank GOD our paths crossed through Leland. By the time I found her, I had already written all of my essays, but something told me I needed her eyes on them. And wow… I’m so glad I listened to that nudge. Laura's feedback was crystal clear, deeply tactical, and full of wisdom, care, and experience. Sometimes coaching can feel light on value, but not with Laura. Every word, every suggestion, every conversation was productive. She pushed me to think deeper, write sharper, and show up as my whole self. And let’s talk about value: She’s worth 1000% of the cost. There was no “catch,” no fluff ,just honest, high-impact guidance that helped me tell my story with clarity and conviction. This morning, I received a call from Columbia Business School welcoming me to the EMBA Class of 2027. 🙏🏽 Laura, thank you for helping me walk boldly into this next chapter. I hope we stay friends forever!

As a DMBA applicant who decided to apply to four programs relatively last minute, I was quite overwhelmed by the process. Claire’s value emerged from providing a third-party point of view on my essay editing, word count revising, and providing context from her processes ahead of my scheduled interviews. Claire was patient, empathetic, and approachable in her style.

This session was extremely informative and offered many tips that I had not heard in similar sessions.

Bria was an absolutely amazing coach! Made it feel like I was the only one on her schedule, while I'm sure she had plenty of other clients, businesses, and students to be working with at the same time. We met in person and she quickly figured out my interview style, encouraging me to STAND rather than sit in interviews (it worked!). She gave helpful deadlines for me to build interview notecards, essay edits and the data visualization. She also helped me get comfortable in uncomfortable situations (making ME choose the answer to questions I'd ask, then she'd give me her advice). AND super affordable compared to other coaches on this platform. Worth every penny!

I highly recommend Greg for anyone looking to pursue an MBA or MBA dual degree, and for those looking to go back to grad school to pursue a sustainability-related degree. Greg not only is knowledgeable about all of the technicalities of the application progress and has a strong sense of what schools are looking for in applications, he is also a very skilled editor - I felt that he improved my writing without ever erasing my voice and always brought me back to my core story. He also held me accountable: he dependably kept me on task and made sure I met my self-imposed and hard deadlines, while also being flexible and helping me to regroup when I was behind. I was admitted to both of the two programs I applied to (one MBA and one dual MBA/MPA), one with a significant scholarship, and I believe that the strength of my applications was largely thanks to Greg's support.
