Hi, I'm Maria! I just finished my MBA / MS Sustainability degree at Stanford and am still up to date on all the ins and outs of the application process and the qualities that top business schools seek in their students. I got into both Stanford and Wharton MBA programs on my first try as a non-traditional, international applicant. I worked with one of the most seasoned MBA coaches (25+ years experience) in the industry to craft my application - I know what it takes to build a killer MBA / dual-degree app. Before becoming a Leland coach, I worked with two coachees who both got into their dream programs (MIT and INSEAD). I also helped 4 GSB/HBS admits negotiate $200k+ in financial aid. At the GSB, I worked as an Admissions Ambassador, held countless coffee chats with prospective applicants, led sessions at the GSB admit weekends, and interacted with 100+ MBA applicants from all over the world. I find it especially rewarding to help non-traditional / international students / climate-oriented folks stand out to gain admission to competitive MBA and scholarship programs. Whether you need help on big-picture essay framing, interview prep, general application strategy or nitty-gritty details, I'm excited to work with you!

Congratulations on applying to MBA programs! I was recently in the same boat. I applied to MBA programs in the fall of 2023 and was admitted to Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and Kellogg School of Management with a full-tuition scholarship. Luckily, now I am at the fun part where I get to decide where I want to spend my next two years. I am a strong communicator, love writing, and am a pro at crafting a unique story that fully encapsulates who you are. I am known for providing detailed feedback on resumes, essays, and keeping the trains on the track (just ask my friends about my many spreadsheets). Together, we will build an end-to-end project plan that allows you to feel in control throughout what is a very open-ended process. Additionally, I am also here for those tougher questions, such as "What schools should I even apply to?" Let's work together to get you into your dream MBA program!

I have in depth experience in coaching and mentoring, specifically in the MBA admissions space. I've gone through the process myself with huge success, I've coached prospective students through private coaching, as part of corporate coaching programs, and in support of the HBS admissions process. The reason I think I stand out and have found success as a coach is because I work hard to gain a true understanding of the applicant; to understand their motivations, values, drivers, strengths, and weaknesses. All of that is critical to craft a strong application for elite schools, but maybe more importantly it is critical to provide you the best support that I can. I will be better suited tailor my coaching to your needs, ensure you stay motivated and on track throughout the process, and unlock important insights to make your application stand out.

I'm a Stanford GSB graduate with a background in management, innovation, and digital transformation. As a seasoned professional I went to GSB mid-career and successfully pivoted from Oil&Gas to Tech (changing all three: industry, location and the role). After graduating, I've coached 6 applicants to Stanford GSB and 4 of them got in. My main focus is helping with GSB essays (1 and 2) and the application review, and I've also had experience providing guidance on application strategy and prepping for the interviews.

I'm Shruti, an experienced coach with a passion for helping individuals accelerate their careers in the business world. With a background in life sciences and business development, I bring a unique perspective to the application process. As an MBA myself, I understand the distinctive things schools look for when screening applications. At Haas, I served on the admissions committee and continue to do interviews for full time applicants to this day. Over the past few years, I have successfully coached several individuals, guiding them through the MBA admissions journey and helping them secure spots at top-tier programs. My expertise lies in crafting compelling application strategies, refining essays, and preparing for interviews. If you're ready to take the next step towards your MBA dreams, let's connect and create a personalized plan for your success.

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA graduate of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management and a current 4th year medical student, I bring a healthcare-centric perspective to the MBA admissions process. Additionally, I'm only a few months removed from being a student admissions interviewer at Kellogg and also spent a year on the admissions committee at my medical school. Thus, I have useful experience on both sides of the admissions process. My goal is to be the go-to coach for those who want to use an MBA to work in the vast world of healthcare. Describing healthcare experience in interviews and essays can be challenging, as it requires translating complex industry knowledge into language that resonates with a broad audience, including MBA admissions committees. I'm confident I can help you do just that. I've reviewed dozens of MBA applications and coached many healthcare-focused candidates. I feel well-prepared to help you leverage your medical background—or if career switching, to express your interest in healthcare—to stand out in your MBA applications. Let's work together to make your application truly exceptional—reach out to get started!

I am a current student of the Kellogg School of Management, with previous work experience within management consulting and in two high growth startups in NYC . I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor of science in Finance and received my masters degree in Information Systems and Operations Management. After school, I spent some time at management consulting firm Guidehouse Consulting before I transitioned to a Series B Unicorn food tech startup called Gorillas - the fastest European startup to ever reach a $1B valuation. I led the growth function at Gorillas for one year until I was offered the opportunity to lead North American expansion for micro-mobility startup Zoomo. At Zoomo I led our expansion into new markets, including launching our first Canadian operations. As an applicant from an over-represented demographic with a sub-optimal GMAT score and a lack of "prestigious" work experience I was able to navigate the application process and successfully land multiple top business school admits. As a coach, I plan to teach you the tips and tricks necessary to be successful in the ultra-competitive business school admissions cycle. I had immense success with gaining admission to a number of M7 and Top 10 schools including Kellogg, Yale, and Dartmouth Tuck. Areas I feel I can particularly bring value in coaching include: MBA Coaching: - Crafting a compelling and cohesive story (theme) for your application even with an untraditional work background or sub-optimal GMAT / GRE score. - Helping you stand out to the admissions committee as an over-represented applicant - Writing compelling and effective essays - 6+ month out application plan with a detailed breakdown of your application journey schedule - Preparing for interviews (Mock Interviews) - School and recommender selection advice

- Recent admits to top MBA programs such as Columbia Business School, MIT Sloan, UChicago Booth, NYU Stern, and Yale SOM all with large fellowships and some full-tuition scholarships - Obtained a 750 on the GMAT (98% percentile) - Passionate about helping others reflect and grow from their experiences to obtain business school admits
