I started working with Krysta initially because of her experience with secondary applications for medical school. I was quickly impressed with the quality of her work, as well as her turn around time. She worked as quick as you worked. After I started receiving interviews from med schools, I decided to continue working with her for interview prep and was even more impressed. She has much knowledge and experience with both traditional interviews and MMI. Proud to say that every school I interviewed at, I received an acceptance and she played a big factor in my success. If you are looking for a coach that is quick, knowledgeable, and experienced, look no further.

Working with Floriane has been a great experience! She listened to my thoughts and experiences, and help me craft together a theme and narrative that allowed me to shine in my applications. She provided very thorough support on my primary and secondaries, and even did multiple rounds of interview prep with me right before my interviews. I felt confidence in my application because of her. With her help and guidance, even with my lower MCAT score, I was able to get 16 interviews and 11 acceptances to schools including the University of Chicago, USC Keck, Boston University, Tulane, Tufts, Kaiser Permanente, Stony Brook, and more! Thank you so much, Floriane!!

I worked with Erik to close specific gaps towards the tail end of my MBB case prep. He was incredibly helpful and responsive, and went the extra mile to identify appropriate cases and provide detailed feedback and tips geared to my level of preparation. He was a key champion of my success and I felt very supported throughout the entire process!

I worked with Karthik during the end stages of my case prep, but even then he helped me to solidify my fundamentals and improve my approach to frameworking and chart clearing. Karthik was also very responsive and adaptive to my requests and needs, and ran a wide variety of cases with me.

Andrew was absolutely critical in the last mile of my case prep journey as a mid-career applicant. He was frank and detailed with his feedback and recommendations, and under his coaching I was able to close key gaps in my skillset and secure an offer. I would highly recommend Andrew's coaching for candidates looking to get from good to great - he is unlike any other coaches I've worked with before.

Working with Joy has been an impactful experience. After being waitlisted at UNC, Vanderbilt, and Darden, I found Joy and she took the time to truly understand my situation and guide me forward. Joy pushed me to rewrite my essays for the next application cycle, helping me refine them so they clearly reflect who I am. Her feedback was detailed, thoughtful, and focused on both clarity and authenticity. Joy continues to support me beyond our formal sessions. Even after my time with her officially ended, She has stayed invested in my journey checking in regularly and offering guidance as I navigate my options. She’s currently helping me think through how to choose between offers totaling $220K in scholarships. I’m really grateful for her feedback, frankliness, and genuine care. I would highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a coach who goes above and beyond.​​​

I worked with Jan in my early days of case and behavioural prep - he helped to level up my casing significantly and deepen my sector-specific knowledge over several months. Jan ran a mix of real/adapted and mock cases with a detailed evaluation rubric that helped me identify and work on my weaknesses. He was also readily available and highly responsive to clarifying questions. I felt very supported during the entire process!

As an alumnus, Matthew is well aware of the type of candidates Oxford MBA is looking for. He can raise a series of questions based on your essay package and finally help you make revisions. When I was waiting for the interview after submitting my application, he also shared some reading materials related to my career goals with me. After being admitted by Oxford, he also gave me a short chat to share his advice on school selection. In summary, I'm happy to work with him. :-)

I had a great experience working with Gun. He analyzed everything very thoroughly and gave me clear, helpful feedback. He was extremely professional and clearly very invested in helping me improve. I really appreciated his attention to detail and the way he explained things step by step. I would definitely recommend working with him.

Kerry is, in my view, the best coach on the Leland platform and likely among the very best MBA admissions coaches anywhere. Leland is a stronger platform because she’s on it. I have a brother who works at Leland, so over the course of several years I repeatedly asked which coach I should use. The answer was always the same: Kerry. What makes Kerry exceptional is that she brings both deep admissions expertise and a rare talent for personal branding. As a former HBS admissions officer, she understands the process at the highest level. But just as importantly, she knows how to help applicants uncover and articulate what makes them compelling. I went into the application process feeling like I didn’t have anything particularly interesting to say, and Kerry helped me identify stories and perspectives from my own background that I never would have recognized as meaningful or distinctive on my own. When it came time for final edits, Kerry went above and beyond. She worked tirelessly reviewing my essays and giving me real-time feedback through countless iterations right up against deadlines. I genuinely can’t imagine having gone through this process with anyone else. Even if working with Kerry had cost three times as much, it still would have been worth it. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
