Doing an MBA was a dream of mine since I was a young kid. Growing up in the 2000/2010s I idolized Silicon Valley founders like Larry Page and Sergey Brin. With Ben’s incredible mentorship, I was able to land Kellogg’s deferred MBA, one of my dream programs! For anyone looking to find their story and figure out how to put their best foot forward, I can’t recommend Ben enough. Ben was able to help me articulate my experiences and future aspirations in ways that I wouldn’t have been able to myself. I truly believe that Ben is a 1-of-1 coach, as a GSB alumni and accomplished professional he brings unique insights that will help you get closer to your goals! I wanted to share my LinkedIn post here as well where I announced my Kellogg acceptance and gave a shout-out to Ben: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7346577281475145730-v9vF?utm_medium=ios_app&rcm=ACoAAD384CsB2sZML23opHJDinVN3QdFSUaQYf8&utm_source=social_share_send&utm_campaign=copy_link

I got a full scholarship and admission to Booth with Tim's help. He is hands down the booth expert. Without him I would not have gotten into Booth. He was very supportive and really detailed in the feedback he had on my essays.

Anna was super kind and insightful during the whole mock interview process. She takes great notes, gives detail advice and encourages me to become better versions of myself. I'm really grateful to meet her on Leland.

Arjun was a tremendous help as I worked through my essay revisions and interview preparation. His insights were always clear and on-point, giving me practical steps to improve quickly. He’s approachable, responsive, and ensures that every piece of feedback is easy to follow. I truly valued his guidance and steady support, which made a real difference in my readiness and confidence. Highly recommended for anyone looking for honest and effective mentorship! I got into my target program with $$.

Jake was incredibly helpful throughout my essay revisions and interview preparation process. His feedback was always direct, actionable, and easy to understand, which helped me quickly strengthen my work. Jake made sure I always knew what to focus on next. Thanks to his guidance and prompt responses, I felt much more confident and prepared. Got into my target MBA program with $$.

It was an absolute joy to work with Matt. MBA applications can be a taxing and confusing process, and Matt was instrumental in helping me get through multiple applications on a tight timeline. He provided invaluable feedback throughout the week leading up to each deadline, especially on my essays, where he did deep dives into each draft to help me craft authentic stories that truly showcased who I am. From the very beginning, I could tell that Matt knew what resonated with each program and what admissions teams were looking for. Beyond essays and application strategy, I was incredibly grateful that he answered even my smallest questions and offered thoughtful guidance on specific situations. On top of all this, he was extremely accommodating and flexible in finding time to support me despite having a busy schedule. Matt is a phenomenal coach and will be an invaluable support system for any applicant!

I got more than my money's worth from my time with James (and still plan to utilize him before interviews in a month and a half). He's responsive, knowledgeable, endearing, and incredibly sharp. Happy to have found someone whose style aligns so well with my own.

Ian was absolutely spectacular when it came to asking the important questions that allowed you to better understand your own story, and your thematic principles which then allow you to shine in your applications. I appreciate his assistance so much, and allowed me to get into my desired MBA program!

He gave really helpful and detailed casing advice, such a pleasure to work with Nikhil!

I reached out to Cesar for a last-minute mock interview and related support. He was very accommodating with my timeline and very helpful in preparation for my interview. The actual interview was conducted much like how he did the mock one, so his support was incredibly useful. Would highly recommend him!
