“Really loved the coach wasn’t kidding when he talked about being hands-on. He gave me access to opportunities I had no clue existed (and neither did my CC counselors). He delivered on his word and got me through into top schools, plus some key additions to my resume. Appreciate you, Sean!”

"I was approaching my path to an Ivy like an math problem, but I couldn’t just rely on numbers and achievements. Sean helped me explain the why behind my work and connect the dots in a way that made sense to both me and the admission officers. It felt a bit like magic."

I was stressing hard about my apps. Everyone applying had perfect stats and impressive internships, and I just had my weird projects and side gigs. Coach Sean told me that was my edge. He helped me turn my activities into a full narrative about creative marketing and consumer psych. Forever grateful for his guidance and patience!”

“When I started working with Sean, I had strong stats but a generic application. He helped me uncover the real story behind my interest in econ, connecting my community organizing work and research wins to UChicago's interdisciplinary approach. I appreciated how he was able to tie everything together into a ‘wow’ story.”

“I’m ecstatic to have been accepted to Brown and a few other top 10’s with The Leeway’s coaching all the way through. With Sean, I felt like I was getting an interior design of all the jumbled pieces of my life, into a perfect package. I highly, highly recommend The Leeway to anyone chasing their dream school!”

"Applying to grad school felt intimidating, especially for such a competitive program. Sean and his method helped me organize my experiences in research and data science into a compelling package. I walked in unsure, but I ran out with offers from multiple top programs in my hand."

"Working with The Leeway was like building an app from scratch, the app being my entire portfolio. Every draft got cleaner, more efficient, and way closer to what schools actually wanted. Sean has this way of knowing exactly what needs to be done, so I never felt too stressed out. I’m thankful that I got to work with him.”

“Coach Sean pushed me to tell actual stories instead of listing achievements. The essay ended up personal but still connected to my major. He also gave me game-changing supplement tips I never would've thought of. When I got my Cornell acceptance and scholarship, I reread my essay and realized, yeah, that's me.”

“Just can't imagine getting into all these schools without Sean’s help. He helped me turn a side project into an application highlight, and showed me how to connect different parts of my story in ways I never would have thought of. Having someone who actually understood what the schools wanted made the whole process way less overwhelming.”

"Applying to the top vet school in the world felt scary, but I just had to make it happen since it’s been a lifelong dream. With The Leeway, I learned how to highlight both my passion for animals and the hard work I put behind it. Now I’m on my way to Davis with strong research and internship experience."

“Before working with Sean I did not know how to explain my experiences in a way that American colleges would understand. He taught me how to frame my story without losing what makes it mine. The hours were long and he pushed me hard, but when Haas said yes I knew every late session was worth it. I wouldn’t have gotten here without him.”

“Working with The Leeway was literally a game-changer. I came in thinking my apps were decent, but Sean helped me dig way deeper into my story. We cut the fluff, made every sentence hit, and somehow kept it so me. When I hit submit, I actually felt proud. Now I’m headed to Stanford (!!) and honestly couldn’t have done it without this process.”

"When I started my apps, I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to begin. The Leeway helped me figure out what really mattered in my story and how to share it in a way that still rang true to me. It wasn’t easy, but in the end I submitted something I was proud of... and it got me into Columbia!"

“I had a lot of doubters when I said I’d transfer out to an Ivy from a CC as a CS major. I had doubts too, but Sean’s clear direction and endless resources paved paths for me. He even got me into a summer internship for a series B startup that completely changed how I think about programming.”

“As a Korean international student, I felt confused and rushed about the med school process. After trying a few other private counselors, I set up a session with The Leeway and immediately felt the upgrade. The level of expertise and detail was by far top level across all my applications. I would strongly recommend him to other international students.”
