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.

Kiera was super helpful and knowledgeable with casing! I loved that she was extremely practical and logical when it came to feedback, giving actionable items to work on after each session. The cases she picked were also really useful and applicable. Her coaching definitely helped me receive an offer from Bain and I would highly recommend her. She's great for people with solid casing experience but looking to reach the next level.

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.

Did a lot of prep on my own (case books & practice cases). Started working with Steven one I knew the basics of both portions of the McKinsey case. Steven was great helping me frame my PEI responses to be excellent and took my casing from good to great. I thought our 3 sessions together helped me be perfectly confident for my first and final round interviews. The price point is perfect for candidates who have done a lot of preparation on their own and are looking for 1-3 sessions to polish and test run their skills before the big interview day!

Highly recommend Justin if you want to prepare effectively under time pressure. Justin was incredibly efficient and thoughtful. In a short time, he put together a document that helped me quickly grasp key business knowledge, provided excellent resources, and gave me clear strategies for structuring my answers. His patience and sharp feedback eased my stress and boosted my confidence, not just for this interview, but for interviewing in general. Thanks to his support, I got the internship!

Working with Margo was an incredible experience and one I will always be grateful for. From the very start, her responsiveness and lightning-fast turnaround made me feel supported and never alone throughout a process that can be overwhelming and emotionally exhausting. Knowing she was always there gave me a sense of calm and the confidence that I desperately needed. What made our work together so special was how collaborative it felt. Margo helped me brainstorm, reflect, and dig deep to tell my story in a way that felt honest and authentic, which resonated with admissions committees. She didn’t just provide thoughtful feedback; she helped me find my voice. She pushed me when I needed it and guided me toward writing essays I am extremely proud of. From start to finish, my experience was exceptional. I began this process feeling discouraged as a reapplicant, but Margo helped me set clear goals and craft strong, polished materials that finally unlocked the future I had dreamed of for so long. Because of her support, I was accepted to schools I never imagined I had a real chance at. I could not have done this without Margo, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who is not only incredibly skilled but also genuinely invested in the people she works with.

James was a super supportive and encouraging coach! He's very down-to-earth, relatable, and easy to talk to. He was really helpful with developing my PEI stories. His recommendations for developing a stronger story through small tweaks and independent preparation made a significant difference.

Patrick has been a game-changer in my entrepreneurial journey. His ability to combine big-picture strategy with practical, actionable advice has helped me navigate critical decisions with confidence. In particular, his guidance around hiring and developing a high-performing team has been transformative - from refining my recruitment process to building a culture that fosters growth and accountability. Patrick doesn’t just give you answers; he equips you with the tools and frameworks to make better decisions as a leader. I’m grateful for his support and highly recommend him to any founder looking to scale with clarity and purpose.
