The Leeway
Difference

My work isn’t just about refining college apps. It’s about shaping confident, thoughtful, and resilient students, so they can emerge as scholars, leaders, and changemakers in college and beyond. To do this, I partner 1:1 with students at every step of our journey together. Unlike other college consulting firms, I will never outsource or substitute my responsibility for the applicant’s success.

01. One-on-One Coaching, Start to Finish.



In the age of AI, it’s not enough for college essays to just sound human. They should feel human. Every application created through The Leeway reflects each student's unique story — both their ambitions and challenges — integrated into a cohesive theme that aligns seamlessly with their dream school’s values. This process unlocks core strategic advantages that can’t be replicated anywhere else.

02. Authentic Stories, Winning Statements.

My students achieve a 97% acceptance rate to top schools. That’s a 7x higher rate of success than the industry average. Unlike mass-market services, I work with a limited pool of elite applicants each year to ensure every application receives intensive, hands-on coaching that results in The Leeway’s record of success.

03. Unmatched Results, Guaranteed.


Meet your coach, Sean:

Over the past decade, I've guided 200+ students to their dream schools and career paths. As founder of The Leeway, I leverage insider knowledge of higher education and corporate sectors, narrative expertise, and complete mastery of admissions strategy to deliver success for my clients. My individualized approach builds authentic relationships with each applicant to highlight their most compelling qualities, impressing even the most selective admission officers and hiring managers.

Signature Programs



I. College Prep Accelerator

The strongest applicants are those who strategically plan ahead. In a year-round partnership, I work with ambitious students to master the three pillars of a top-tier application: academic excellence, standout extracurriculars, and real-world leadership. Together, we will build the foundations of an “Ivy-ready” profile, well before college application season begins.

Offered for high school students in grades 9 through 12. Spots limited to 10 students every year.

II. 360° Admissions Coaching

Competition for elite colleges has never been fiercer. Even the most accomplished students cannot stand out unless they weave their achievements into a cohesive narrative highlighting their “why.” I guide students in discovering and expressing their voices in every aspect of the perfect candidate, crafting applications with powerful emotional appeal.

Offered for high school seniors, prospective transfer students, and graduate school applicants (Master’s, PhD). Spots limited to 10 students each app cycle.

III. 90-Day Career Launch

Your first career move shapes the trajectory of everything that follows. With prior leadership experience in tech, consulting, and finance, I provide guidance in resume optimization, interview mastery, strategic job search, and long-term career planning. The outcome: a purpose-driven career path to secure your dream role in as little as 90 days.

Offered for current college students and recent graduates. Spots limited to 5 candidates per year.

Space is limited for each application season
