Online MBA Admissions Coaches

Current MBA Student at Booth, MLT/ SEO MBA Prep Program

As an IESE Business School and Imperial College London alumni (scoring in Top 10% of my classes, respectively), my MBA coaching journey began in 2020 after my experience at Harvard Business School’s Summer Venture in Management program, where I coached ambitious undergrads through their Deferred MBA Programs, securing admits from: MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, HBS 2+2, and Moelis Advance Access for Wharton. Since 2020, I have cultivated an MBA/MiM/Master coaching toolkit that encompasses: goals-first, logic-first, culture-fit first sense of executive and corporate storytelling for the M7 universities in the United States and for the top executive programs in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and greater-Asia. Now, I coach a selective clientele all over the world, with recent success stories involving international admits to UChicago Booth (with 60% scholarship), most notably. Over the past two years, I have learned the inner workings of every top program, helping a roster of 15+ (and counting) clients gain admission into their dream schools.

Over 10 years in graduate admissions, I bring a wealth of experience in admissions and recruitment to help you navigate the MBA application process. As the former Director of Masters Admissions and Recruitment at Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business, I have conducted evaluative interviews and reviewed 300-400 applications per cycle, giving me deep insights into what top programs and adcoms are looking for. I have successfully coached clients, helping them craft compelling applications and secure spots at their dream schools. Let's work together to develop a personalized strategy that highlights your unique strengths and maximizes your chances of success. Reach out to start your journey today!

I am a professional with over 20 years of experience in industry and admissions. I have an MBA (Darden) and PhD (Michigan State). I enjoy coaching individuals regarding their higher education goals.

Welcome! I’m a second-year MBA student at Harvard Business School and founder of a startup reimagining manufacturing. Before HBS, I led complex, high-impact product programs at Tesla and Rivian — building at the intersection of technology and sustainability. I didn’t come from a target school or a traditional background; I got here by learning fast, delivering results, and telling my story with clarity and purpose. Now, I help others do the same. Whether you’re preparing for top MBA interviews or figuring out your next career move, I bring sharp, honest feedback, real-world insight, and a clear strategy to help you stand out and succeed.

With an MBA from Columbia Business School, where I served as both a student and alumni interviewer, I bring firsthand insights into the admissions process. As a former Head Admissions Consultant at Veritas Prep, I have over a decade of experience guiding 62 clients to success in their MBA applications. My background in strategic roles at Gartner and American Express, combined with my consulting experience at Deloitte, equips me with a unique perspective to help you craft a compelling application. Let's work together to highlight your strengths and secure your spot at a top business school. Reach out to start your journey today!

I have personally been admitted to several M7 and T15 MBA programs, including Chicago Booth, Columbia Business School ($130K fellowship), and Cornell Johnson ($70K fellowship). Additionally, I am a recipient of some of the most prestigious and competitive graduate fellowships in the world, such as the Schwarzman Scholars program at Tsinghua University with only a 3% acceptance rate annually. Since then, I have advised 20+ traditional and non-traditional applicants to top business schools globally, including Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, The Wharton School, Columbia, Kellogg, Booth, MIT Sloan, INSEAD, London Business School, Haas, Cornell Johnson, and Dartmouth Tuck, etc. I have developed a success framework and templates that can guide you through the MBA application process and maximize your chances. Let's work together to craft a standout application that highlights your unique story. Reach out to start your journey towards your dream MBA program!

🎉 Dozens of candidates I've worked with have got into Stanford GSB, Harvard, Wharton & the rest of M7 🎉 ⏳ Fair, honest pricing: 4-5 hours for one school, 8-12 for 3+ is almost always sufficient⏳ 💰 Check out my packages for discounts, or ask me for 50% off your 1st hour 💰 My story: I was 23. My GMAT was an uneven 710: 99th percentile verbal, 55th(!) non-verbal. My major was English literature. I was at a non-MBB consulting firm with zero US brand recognition. I had less than 3 years of work experience. I couldn't afford an admissions consultant. And yet... I got in. How? Because I'm an expert-level storyteller. And telling your story is >50% of your application. A bad story can kill an otherwise-great application. A GREAT story can make up for a mediocre GMAT, so-so work experience, etc. Beyond your qualifications and institutions, you have several short- and long-form essay/answer prompts, plus 2 letters of reference. Together, these present you with an opportunity to craft a COMPELLING, HOLISTIC narrative for why you belong at the business school of your dreams. What got me over the line and won the heart of my AdCom reviewer was that I treated these answers not as distinct opportunities to shine, but a tapestry through which I wove a singular, compelling narrative thread. On Leland, I help others achieve the same. I am confident that any life, no matter how mundane-feeling, carries a powerful growth story. I will help you tell that story in a way that feels authentic and inspiring, making your offer a no-brainer to AdCom. I work with candidates for any school, and have a range of approaches based on your specific needs & working style. I particularly love to support international applicants - the US has a very specific, slightly opaque culture and set of values that I've had the privilege of adopting, through the lens of both a Brit (where I grew up) and a Russian (where I was born). No need to message ahead - my calendar is up to date. Schedule an intro call anytime!
