Have you used every available resource and are still unable to achieve your desired score? Have you been studying for a while but haven't seen any progress? I can relate to how you are feeling. I've been there before. I began preparing for the GMAT in 2014. I got a 250 on my first try despite not knowing where or how to begin. Years went by with no guidance or mentorship. Something clicked in 2020, and I finally discovered what worked. I went from a 250 to a 780! No, it didn't take me six years to figure it out. In fact, I had been studying on and off for quite some time. I was hopeless and convinced that I was not good or smart enough. Believe me, I understand how you feel. Since then, I've worked with hundreds of students to help them conquer their GMAT test anxiety. There are numerous factors involved in this. It's a shift in perspective. My most recent students raised their scores by more than 400 points. Let me assist you in achieving your goal score so you can concentrate on your applications. I'm excited to collaborate with you!

These all apply to me. Hi! I'm Dalal ๐๐ผ I am currently pursuing my MBA and MS at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. I was humbled to receive multiple full-ride offers to Ivy League and M7 programs. I was born in Kuwait, grew up in France, and have lived in the United States since 2010. Prior to pursuing my MBA, I founded a career coaching start-up that assisted over 5,000 students worldwide in telling their unique stories. After graduation, I hope to continue to have an impact on others by pursuing a career in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Enough about me; let's talk about you! I understand that applying to business school can be an overwhelming and intimidating process. So, where do you even begin? Working together, I can help answer the most frequently asked questions by applicants. What are the best MBA programs? Which schools are best suited to your personality and career objectives? How can you distinguish your application from the crowd? I've helped dozens of students gain admission to top MBA programs, and I'd love to help you too! My coaching style is direct, efficient, and empathetic. Following each session, we'll each have a few tasks to complete that will directly prepare us for the next one. You will not feel alone on this journey. I will assist you in finding the best program for your goals and needs, as well as increasing your chances of admission to top MBA programs. No matter where you are in your MBA journey, we can collaborate to create a customized plan of action for you. I'm excited to be a part of your success story! ------ ------ *A piece I authored on how to ace the MBA interview: https://library.joinleland.com/applicant-hub/mba-interview-checklist
