Great MBA Coach
Dione was a fantastic MBA coach! I had two years of consulting experience and applied in Round 3. She helped me with both my essays and interview preparation. Throughout the process, Dione was responsive, supportive, and thoughtful, and she provided valuable feedback and advice that strengthened my application. I'm grateful for her guidance, and I'm excited to share that I was admitted to both Columbia Business School and Chicago Booth with merit-based scholarships. I highly recommend working with Dione!

Got Into Booth and Kellogg PTMBA with Scholarship
Kerry helped me strengthen my essays and resume and guided me throughout the application process. I was admitted to both Booth and Kellogg’s part-time MBA programs and received a $40,000 scholarship from Booth, which is especially rare for a part-time MBA. Her guidance made a real difference.

David Changed my Life [Kellogg Acceptance, Haas Admit]
David is an absolute gem who has significantly altered the trajectory of my professional life. I screened several coaches before choosing him, even at a much higher price point, and knew right away that he genuinely feels compelled to help people, which shot through others' disconnected optimism. I could trust my gut with David in a way that was far more important in my application process than any pedigree or word salad another coach had to offer. I could tell he actually wanted to get to know who I was, which enabled us to dig deep to discover my potential and align it with what actually works for these programs. I came to him 2-3 weeks before the deadlines for top deferred MBA programs, completely desperate and unconfident because my background made no sense at first (profile: over-represented majority, attended multiple undergrads, faced severe mental health challenges, had no experience at known companies, no full-time job lined up, and test scores barely on the threshold). Under an incredible time crunch, he helped me craft the many, many sides of my life I had no way of seeing on my own that demonstrated my growth through college, portraying me as a high-potential candidate with many unique attributes to offer these schools. All I saw was someone who was desperately trying to graduate, and I could not see a single thread through any of it. As it turns out, all of the experiences I belittled in my mind were exactly the things that David would drill down on to really uncover the truth about - my core narratives that made me desirable to these programs. I would never have been able to do it without someone who genuinely cared to learn about me. To my absolute amazement, I received my first interview invite from Columbia. David then, once again, trained me into an absolute interview weapon - arming me with skills and a genuine understanding of my stories and fit for these programs that I completely lacked before working with him, gaining confidence from him, and becoming more comfortable in my own skin. I am ultimately walking away committed to Kellogg, along with an acceptance to Haas, and I could not be more grateful.

Invaluable Stanford GSB Interview Support
I had a mock interview with Dione ahead of my Stanford GSB interview, and I was very grateful that she was willing to help at such short notice. She immediately put me at ease and shared thoughtful, practical advice that proved very useful in helping me convert my Stanford GSB interview, as well as subsequent interviews at other schools. As a Stanford GSB alum, it was clear that she had a deep understanding of the school and knew exactly how to support someone hoping to gain admission. Thank you for the support, Dione!

Simply the best
Felt incredibly supported and guided throughout the entire process. From recommendation prep packets, to essay brainstorming and revising, to interview prep, Andy was truly there every step of the way. He provided constructive feedback, which may have been difficult to hear at times (but was much needed) and was consistently the greatest cheerleader and coach anyone could ask for. No matter what my question or concern was, Andy was always available to answer and discuss. Even when, initially, I didn't think I had a fascinating story to tell, Andy worked to help me discover a powerful narrative that was true to me. Can't recommend him enough!!!

Amazing storyteller and thoughtful coach
Vica was wonderful to work with throughout the deferred MBA process!!! She is incredibly kind, an amazing storyteller, and wasn’t afraid to push back when she thought an essay or idea could be stronger. Her feedback helped me build a much stronger personal narrative, and all that pushing got me into Wharton (with a below average GMAT) My only suggestion would be to offer a larger coaching package for applicants applying to four or more schools, as I found myself wanting more time than the current package included. Overall, I had a great experience and would happily recommend working with her!

Claire is your Golden Ticket to business school
Claire was particularly talented at drawing out my personal story, and I credit the workshops and materials she created to help me craft an authentic and competitive application. I couldn't have accomplished my Deferred MBA goals without Claire, and I highly recommend her to anyone considering business school.

A true gem on Leland & one of the best investments I made this year!
Jeremy is an incredible coach, and I can't recommend him highly enough. One thing that truly sets him apart is his use of targeted drills. I've worked with many coaches throughout my consulting recruiting journey, and I've never seen anyone incorporate drills as effectively as Jeremy does. They were incredibly powerful in helping me improve specific skills, and he has a real talent for identifying exactly what you need to work on and designing exercises that genuinely move the needle. Jeremy played a tremendous role in my success throughout the recruiting journey. He didn't just help me prepare for interviews, he made sure I was consistently improving with every session. His coaching is thoughtful, structured, and highly personalized. On top of being an exceptional coach, Jeremy is an amazing person. He's incredibly kind, easygoing, and supportive. He truly feels like a teammate who's invested in your success. He regularly checks in on your progress, celebrates your wins, and is always there to help when you need it. Working with Jeremy was genuinely refreshing, and I'm grateful to have had him as part of my journey. If you're looking for a coach who will push you to improve while supporting you every step of the way, Jeremy is an outstanding choice!

A game-changer for Bain final round
Andrew is one of the best coaches I've ever had the opportunity to work with. He not only helped me dramatically improve my case interview skills and better understand what final-round interviewers are actually looking for, but he also coached me mentally, making sure I had the right mindset and confidence throughout the process. Simply recommending Andrew doesn't fully capture the value he provides. If you have the budget to invest in one coach, he should be your first choice. I've worked with more than 30 coaches in this industry, and Andrew is the only one who consistently offered unlimited feedback and genuinely invested in my success. He was a true teammate. His dedication, expertise, and willingness to go above and beyond made a huge difference in my journey. Andrew was truly a blessing throughout my consulting recruiting journey, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Clear plan, honest feedback, great support
Sophie was such a supportive and helpful case coach. From our first session she set up a really clear structure and plan for what we'd work on, but she was also super flexible when things came up or my priorities shifted. What I appreciated most was her honest feedback. She never sugarcoated things, but she always delivered it in a way that felt encouraging and gave me something concrete to work on. She genuinely cared about how things went for me and was in my corner the whole time. Highly recommend working with her!
