I am confident that, had I not had Sathvika as my mentor throughout the MBA Application process, I would not have secured my spot as a Kellogg Future Leaders (deferred MBA program for Kellogg School of Management). I set my sights on securing a spot in a deferred MBA program at the beginning of my senior year of college. And, around the same time, I serendipitously started my mentorship journey with Sathvika. Even though Sathvika applied to MBA programs through the traditional route, her skills transferred effortlessly, and she was an unmatched mentor as I went through the deferred enrollment MBA application process. She helped me with my strategy in choosing which programs to apply for, heavily edited my essays to make me shine brighter through the stories I'd chosen to share in my application, and helped me with my recommender strategy. And, once I made it to the interview stage, she made sure I continued to dominate the process with key knowledge and tips that went beyond what you can find online or even from other mentors. And trust me; I scoured every source I could, and no advice came anywhere close to the quality and pertinence of Sathvika's. Her golden insights made me stand out and, in the end, allowed me to secure a spot at Kellogg School of Management. I feel incredibly lucky that Sathvika was my mentor throughout this process; she's a gem, and anyone would be quite fortunate to have her in their corner when applying for an MBA program. She knows her stuff, she keeps it real, and she'll make sure you achieve your dream school with flying colors.

I can’t recommend Jonny enough as a coach. He was integral in helping me get a job offer from my current employer.

Jonny’s approach combines his broad and deep knowledge of coaching with a personal warmth making him excellent in all areas. I have full confidence that he would contribute so much to Leland.

Vaish is a great mentor and friend to have. As an incoming freshman at UT Austin, Vaish helped me decide what career field and pathway would best suit me. Equipping me with the knowledge about the fields of Finance and MIS, she has helped me pick a major and narrow my focus. She is great resource for anyone as she is very outspoken and approachable. Her advice and support not only as a mentor but also as a friend as allowed me to excel in my interests and reach my dreams. I would highly recommend Vaish as a coach for anyone!

I am so grateful to have Vaish as my older sister and mentor.
