Chip is a very experienced, approachable, and transparent coach, all of which is very important when giving feedback for such particular essays. He really helped me tackle the essays I was not quite being able to outline and to discard whatever didn't add value, resulting in a very strong storyline. I am honestly very happy with the result I have achieved thanks to his help and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help approaching the essays.

I recommend working with Michael without hesitation. Even though I had only one week to put together my entire application for Schwarzman Scholars, he enthusiastically offered to work with me and made himself as available as possible that entire week, including in the final hour before the deadline. Michael was a fantastic sounding board and has a deployable framework for how to craft the essays. He then was prompt at providing written feedback on my CV, essays, and short answers -- always getting back to me with edits less than 24 hours before sending him a draft. The most impressive thing about Michael is you can tell his heart is fully into this role. He is a Coach on Leland because he is truly passionate about helping young people achieve their full potential -- this is something that proved to be invaluable, and I now see Michael as a mentor because of it. Jump at the chance to work with him, you won't regret it!

Mike was incredibly helpful during my Schwarzman Scholars application process. He guided me from brainstorming ideas to refining my writing, offering invaluable support that significantly improved my application. Overall, a great experience working with him!

Highly recommend booking time with Jake. His writing, editing, and business skills are superior and he has the background to prove it. Excellent at communication and truly cares about helping others succeed. You can trust that he will work with you to accomplish any goal that you have while exceeding expectations.

I highly recommend working with Justin! He was quick to get me in for some last-minute interview prep and gave great constructive feedback based on his own experiences. He answered all of my questions and ensured that I got the most out of our session. He is very personable and makes you feel comfortable. I will definitely reach out to him for future needs!!

Had a really quality experience working with Michael on my application, which made all the difference in maintaining confidence throughout the process. He's super friendly, responsive (which itself is impressive given how many things he works on at once), and always provides detailed and measured feedback on literally anything you ask (nothing is a silly question), and that is the best type of support any person applying for highly competitive degrees could want. Michael is really knowledgeable and provides a great service tailored towards each client's needs, and he's really good at asking thoughtful questions that are super helpful for shaping your application. Could not recommend Michael more highly - with his guidance, you're guaranteed to receive so much value.

I had an incredibly positive experience working with Michael on my graduate school application. From our very first interaction, I was impressed by his genuine interest in helping and his efforts into understanding my goals. Michael has a unique talent for helping you uncover and articulate your personal narrative in a way that truly stands out. His feedback on my essays was both insightful and encouraging, pushing me to refine my ideas while building my confidence. What really set Michael apart was his responsiveness and dedication - he was always available to answer questions and provide support, making the often stressful application process feel much more manageable. His firsthand experience with competitive programs like Schwarzman Scholars proved invaluable, offering me insider perspectives I couldn't have gained elsewhere. I would highly recommend working with Michael, his help made me learn more about myself and my goals. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking to put their best foot forward in graduate school applications.

I am extremely happy to have chosen to work with Vica. When I was looking into consultants to work with, what struck me about Vica was her authenticity and knowledge. Her knowledge helps unravel the blackbox that is the admisssions process. Outside of that, she is also gifted at helping you pull out stories and themes that can represent a compelling, but authentic version of yourself. She will push you to write your best work and only then works her editing magic, which really is magic. I highly recommend her.
