Hi there, my name is Seema! I'm currently a second year MBA student at Columbia Business School, and I'll be joining McKinsey as an Associate after graduation. Leveraging my own experience applying to several schools and attending CBS, I have assisted applicants with resume reviews, essay brainstorming and editing, interview prep, and overall application strategy.

Hi all! I am currently a student at Northwestern's MMM Program, pursuing a dual-degree that combines an MBA from Kellogg School of Management with an MS in Design Innovation from the Segal Design Institute. Prior to my studies, I worked as a strategy consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where I gained extensive experience in various industries and functional areas, including marketing, sales, pricing, and sustainability. At BCG, I contributed to a wide range of projects, ranging from operational improvements for a parcel logistics company to new product development for fleet decarbonization. With my strong background in strategy and design, I am well-equipped to help aspiring MBA candidates navigate the application process and achieve their goals. Reach out to me to discuss how I can support you on your MBA and career journey!

The choice to pursue an MBA is a significant investment of time and resources, and it deserves a thoughtful approach. I'll partner with you on any and all parts of your process. I'm a Ross MBA (University of Michigan) with admissions committee experience at Ross. I've spent the last 15 years successfully coaching MBA applicants through the admissions process with my own firm (MBA Pathfinders) and with top-rated consulting firms (Stacy Blackman and mbaMission), and have helped clients earn admission to HBS, GSB, Wharton, Booth, Ross, Kellogg, Fuqua, Columbia, Haas, Stern, Darden, Tuck, Johnson, Darden, INSEAD, and many others. I've collaborated with a range of candidates, and have had great success with those from more traditional backgrounds seeking a way to stand out among a sea of qualified peers, as well as those from non-traditional backgrounds who need guidance articulating how their talents and aspirations will fit into an MBA class. If you're looking for a seasoned, professional coach who's seen it all and can help guide you through the whole process, let's work together!

I recently graduated with MBA from INSEAD. I was invited for the interviews from INSEAD and HBS despite being in an over-represented demographic. As a non-traditional applicant myself, I completely understand your weaknesses and strengths. I found it essential and extremely helpful to get relevant feedback from experts while building a strong narrative in an extremely competitive pool. And I would like to give back to prospective students who are in my shoes to share my experiences and lessons learnt, and provide the right guidance for you to succeed. As a coach, I will help you to reflect your true personality and character as authentically as possible while crafting a strong foundation for your essays and overall application strategy. I not only help my clients coach on applications and school selection but also keep in touch with them through their journey of completing their MBA, help make right career decisions, and share my life experiences with them. With prior clients I have typically focused on: - Writing a standout essay that reflects your personality as a whole considering with what the school is looking for - Adapting your resume to the appropriate MBA school audience - Choosing the right references and how to initiate conversation with them for strong references

Hi, I'm Natalie. I went to Stanford GSB, and also received offers and full scholarships from MIT, Columbia, and NYU. While my roots are in Finance, I dove into entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing post-graduation, having founded and sold one company, and took another from Series A to Series C, expanding to 5 new markets and generating multi-million dollars of sales in 4 years. Coaching-wise, I've had the privilege of guiding candidates to successful admissions at top schools like Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Chicago Booth. One individual's testimonial encapsulates the impact of our engagement: "I connected with Natalie during a pivotal time in my career in 2019, when I was applying for my MBA and contemplating a shift from my five-year tenure as an investment associate to a more strategic role. Natalie's willingness to share her own career journey was invaluable. Her insights extended well past the professional realm, guiding me through her experiences during her MBA journey and beyond, helping me clarify my career direction and reevaluate what truly mattered in my life. Natalie's mentorship was exceptional, offering a wealth of practical advice for my career. Her support and guidance have played a significant role in shaping my educational and professional journey. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a mentor and advisor, particularly for those seeking career growth and direction." Beyond MBA coaching, I provide comprehensive career guidance, drawing from my diverse experiences. If you're looking for practical advice and a mentor who understands the twists and turns of various career paths, let's connect and navigate your journey together.

I’m a Harvard Business School graduate who got in on sheer grit — no family connections, no employer sponsorship, and definitely no 760 GMAT. In fact, I took the test eight times and ended up with a 690. I wasn’t the obvious admit. I didn’t come from a mega fund. I wasn’t a check the box candidate. But I understood the formula — and once you understand how HBS and the GSB really make decisions, your chances of admission increase exponentially. There’s a strategy to this process that most applicants — and even many coaches — miss. I’ve lived it. I’ve helped others do it. And I only work with people who are truly serious about winning. This is not a volume game. It's about positioning, storytelling, and playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. If you want someone who can tell you the truth, help you find your edge, and drive real outcomes, I’m your coach.

Hi, I’m Claire — one of Leland’s fastest-growing coaches and a Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford. As a GSB + HBS deferred admit, I’ve helped 50+ applicants from all backgrounds earn 75+ admits across every M7 school — and many more. I bring insider perspective as a current MBA + MA in Education student, and professional experience from Bain, Silver Lake, Nike, and Eniac Ventures. I know how to position your story with authenticity and impact — and I don’t just help you brainstorm ideas, I teach you how to deliver them with confidence. I’m a storytelling nerd, an interview wizard, and a coach who knows how to help you win. Let’s turn your story into your superpower — and get you into your dream school.

As someone from a non-traditional background, I have a deep understanding of how to leverage unique experiences and highlight transferable skills that align with the goals of top MBA programs. I specialize in synthesizing diverse aspects of an applicant's story into a cohesive, compelling narrative that demonstrates their potential for success in business school and beyond. With a commitment to honesty and transparency, I provide constructive feedback that helps applicants refine their applications while staying true to their authentic selves.
