Best thing we did was hire Amelia to help with essays. She was great asking the right questions to help with write the essays. as well as revisions. Got everything back in a timely fashion. So glad we got her help.

Cryus provided a lot of extremely useful feedback for my mock interview. He spends a lot of time to organize the feedback into detailed notes for reference. I have learned a lot from the mock interview we did for HBS!

Arielle went over my application in detail and asked a lot of insightful questions based on my past experiences. She has also provided great feedback on my interview performance which I'm sure will be quite helpful in the HBS interview!

Working with Sowa was an absolute joy and privilege. Beyond being a truly exceptional essay and storytelling coach, she was a really needed support system for me through an admittedly challenging application cycle. I came to Sowa for 3 different schools + the Consortium application (In total: 2 comprehensive packages, with hourly services for quality checking 2 other nearly completed applications and essays). Admissions and Writing Coaching As an admissions and writing coach, Sowa helped me in multiple capacities, from initial brainstorming to distilling the key points of my narrative to really helping my story come to life eloquently on a page. She’s a strong storytelling coach and always encouraged me to really dig deep during more vulnerable essays, such as Stanford’s “What Matters to You, and Why?.” It wasn’t easy, but Sowa had a talent for helping me simplify really quite dense and complicated themes to get to the root of my story. For my resume, she offered tactical and strategic guidance in helping me overall shape and quantify my experiences. Her interview prep was also the real deal. I found how realistic our mock interview was to be extremely helpful come an actual interview. She recorded mine and coached me through my answer response content and actual interview presence. Additionally, I appreciated her all around coaching style. She’s approachable, candid yet constructive, and encouraging. Her simultaneous flexibility and accountability is exactly what I needed to make it to the finish line. Beyond Coaching Beyond coaching, I really appreciated Sowa’s “human-ness.” Not only is she an objectively inspiring human being, but I always knew that she genuinely cared about me and my success through the entire duration that we worked together. She was an incredible support system, especially when I almost stumbled to get to the finish line when a close family death unexpectedly occurred within the final weeks of my application. Without her push, I probably would have delayed my last application to the next cycle. But she made me feel confident in all of the work we had consistently put in together until that point, and I’ll be forever grateful for it. At the time of writing this, I’ve been accepted to one school, am interviewing with a second school (my top choice), and waiting to hear back about interview invitations from the last school. Regardless of the outcomes, I truly feel that by working with Sowa, I was able to put my best foot forward in submitting strong applications. I highly recommend hiring this amazing human!

best coach ever working with！Great choice for mba/deferred mba application！

I had the pleasure of working with Drake in the past two months for my deferred MBA application. He was always friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to ask challenging questions to help me clarify and navigate questions I had. Drake is the best coach you can find on Leland!

Wonderful coach with excellent skills and knowledge

Arielle was absolutely incredible in helping me prepare for my HBS interview. She is clearly knowledgeable about the interview process and what HBS is looking for in candidates. We did two mock interviews, which were entirely different (one focusing on leadership and the other on career goals). Our preparation has made me feel confident about my upcoming interview. I cannot recommend Arielle highly enough!

I reached out to Jeremy for help with my essays for Wharton and MIT. Jeremy's feedback was the cherry on top that my essays required. He's also a great guy who's willing to go the extra mile to put you at ease during the application season. He helped me elevate my essays, stay calm, and submit my application with confidence. I'm at Wharton now, thanks in no small part to his help!

I chose to work with Thomas about one month and a half ago to work on prepping for interview, and getting the nerve out of my brain. Thomas gave me advice on resume, right mentality for job search, tricks to stay organized, and also solid mock interview experiences. I landed my first intern offer with Peloton, and I look forward to more opportunities to come!
