Leland is a marketplace that connects higher ed applicants with pre-vetted admissions coaches who fit their budget, background, and goals within 48 hours. We believe that where you go to school is one of the most important decisions you make in your entire life. Yet today, millions of applicants navigate the process completely alone. This is largely due to college counselors and admissions consultants being tough to find, evaluate, trust and afford. We are building out the largest network of admissions coaches from top tier schools, all offering admissions help at different price points. We're starting with MBAs, but will eventually expand to other higher-ed application processes. We exist to unlock education. If education is important to you, we'd love to talk.
