Saleem’s College Qualifications
30+ people coached for College
Saleem has helped clients get into these schools:
Applied to and was admitted to several UC and Ivy League schools during my undergraduate application process in 2019. I ultimately attended a local state school due to receiving a full scholarship and wanting to live locally. Before graduating from my undergraduate university, I again received admission to top graduate programs at schools such as UPenn, MIT, and Yale. I have had experience coaching/tutoring friends and family for years and love helping others through the platform Leland has built! Feel free to reach out with questions or for an intro call anytime. I also coach for deferred MBA admissions and management consulting on Leland. Have worked with dozens of admits into HSW, other ivies, top public schools, and top international schools.
