After almost 2 years on Leland and dozens of happy, successfully admitted clients, I can confirm that we don't need to spend dozens of hours together (and you don't need to spend thousands of dollars!) to get ALL of your applications done for your top 3-5 schools. How many we finalize will really depend on your working style and pace of progress between sessions, but the plan is relatively straightforward: Session 1: Brainstorm your story / hone in on your career goals / finalize list of schools / agree recommender strategy [Async 30min to review your resume] Session 2: Review first drafts for school #1's longer essays, + resume Sessions ~3-5: Iteratively refine + finalize full application draft (including notes to recommenders, to be sent out as soon as we have your story ~70% nailed) Sessions 5-X: Get through 2-4 more applications! Each additional school will require less + less of my time, since you'll be building up a bank of well-articulated answers, stories, ideas, and approaches.
At least three full b-school applications you feel 100% confident submitting, on time
A solid "bank" of stories and well-crafted answers for future school applications
An MBA-ready resume
Confidence in your own candidacy and energy for the rest of the process!
Coaching delivered via live sessions and .
Typically 60min sessions, plus ~10-15min reviews of any drafts/docs you send over at least 24hours before each scheduled session (I don't charge extra for that). Alternatively, I can do "full async reviews" (30-40min, charged) where I leave detailed line edits/comments, allowing you to turn around another version between calls. On calls, we'll go through my major feedback points + plan/rephrase sections together as needed. Can also do a session at the start to discuss/compare different narrative arcs before you start writing.
24-hour cancellation policy. If either party needs to cancel or reschedule a session within 24 hours of its planned start time, that session is taken off / added to the total remaining balance. 24-hour document turnaround. Please share any documents, conversations, questions etc you want me to review at least 24-hours BEFORE our next scheduled session.

English @Cambridge + MBA @Stanford = Storytelling Expert | < 10h packages!
🎉 Dozens candidates I've worked with have got into Stanford GSB, Wharton & the rest of M7 🎉 ⏳ Fair, honest pricing: 4-6 hours for one school, 8-12 for 3+ is typically 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!
