I was one of the participants of the bootcamp last year and wanted to let you know that I was admitted! I seriously would not have been able to do it without your team, so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with you!

We loved this bootcamp - it was so helpful! Our daughter was admitted for this fall and the bootcamp made a huge difference with her essays!

I attended with my daughter, Sam, and she was admitted to BYU and can't wait to start in the fall. I have already recommended the bootcamp to new applicants I know. Thank you so much for all of your effort!

My son and I attended the boot camp last summer, he applied last fall, and he was admitted in February for this coming fall. The essay coaching absolutely made a huge difference for him-his grades and test scores were definitely below average for BYU— and I recommend your program to anyone wanting to improve their BYU application. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should sign up for the bootcamp?

Anyone serious about getting into BYU. We do everything we can to get you as prepared as possible to navigate this competitive application process.  

What if I’m not applying this year? 

The earlier you are, the more time you have to prepare. The number one mistake that applicants make is not giving themselves enough time to strengthen their application. This bootcamp is a great way to avoid that and make sure you're starting off on the right foot.

What will I learn?

This bootcamp is designed to fully equip you for applications to BYU. By the end of the five sessions, you will: 
- have a clear idea of the best narrative and app strategy for your background and goals.
- know who to select for your recommenders and have completed a polished recommender prep doc.
- have an outline for your essays and have started drafting them
- ... and more! 

The curriculum also includes custom assignments and personalized interactive activities for maximum impact. BYU applications are competitive, but this bootcamp will give you the tools you need to stand out.

Can I also receive 1:1 personal coaching for my BYU application?

Yes! You can work with a vetted expert college admissions coach who has agreed to provide help for your BYU application 100% free in conjunction with a coaching package for the Common App essay (note that two Common App essay prompts are the same as BYU's essay prompts). If you'd like to receive 1:1 personal coaching to shape your narrative and refine your application, click the link on the right to chat with a Leland team member and get set up with a coach.

How is this bootcamp free for all participants?
