“Really loved how 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 counselors). He delivered on his word and got me through into T1s, plus unique ECs that transformed my background. Appreciate you, Sean!”

“I was stressing hard on my apps. Everyone around me applying seemed so impressive, and I just had my odd projects and side gigs. Coach Sean told me that was my edge. He helped me turn my interests into a full narrative about creative marketing and consumer psych. Forever grateful for his guidance and patience.”

“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 got a makeover of all the jumbled pieces of my life, into a perfect package. I highly, highly recommend The Leeway to anyone chasing their dream school.”

"When I started at community college, I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start as an international student. The Leeway system was solid. It highlighted what really mattered in my background and built 15+ ECs on top of it. It In the end I submitted something I was really proud of... and it got me into Columbia."

“Early on, I believed my achievements looked solid on paper, but didn’t really say much about who I was behind it all. I had different semi-relevant experiences, but struggled to connect it all. Coach helped me nail down the mission behind it all, which was the secret sauce. I also appreciated him adjusting his strategy for each of my school picks.”

"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 and I worked to paint a holistic picture of me that said much more than just my achievement list. My essays ended up personal but still connected to the university’s values. He also paved the way for creating social impact vs. random volunteer hours I had prior. When I got my admit letters, I reread my apps and realized, yeah, that's the real 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: scary, yes, but I just had to make it happen since it’s been my 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, padded with research and internships from top institutions, and continuing to work with Sean on my path here.”

“Before working with The Leeway I was very lost in the transfer system. Sean taught me how to frame my story, expanded my portfolio by 10x, step by step, and kept me accountable through it all. The hours were long, but when Haas said yes I knew every late-night session was worth it. My dream school would’ve remained a dream without him.”

“The program was 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 kept it “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.”

“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 an international student from Korea, I felt lost trying to navigate the med school process here. Before working with Sean, I had already talked with other private counselors, but most of the advice felt too obvious. What stood out to me about The Leeway was how much detail and thought went into every part of my application. He understood both the bigger picture and the small details.”
