I worked with Square one Prep for my MBA applications. I was referred to Square One by one of my friends who spoke very highly of their team and services. I talked to 4-5 consultants before deciding to work with Square One Prep. My primary reason for picking them was the fact that I worked not only with one person, but an entire team of people each with their specialized skillset. My initial call with Kathryn alone helped me realise a lot of mistakes that I was making while planning my applications as well as made me think about multiple factors, that I had previously skipped, when it came to deciding where to apply and why. My consultant was Rahul Kalita. It was great working with him. He made sure we worked on each aspect of the application in detail and was always available to answer any questions that I had. Applying for schools while working full time is especially difficult and the entire team was extremely accommodating of my needs. Rahul made sure he understood all my strengths and weaknesses and helped me prepare my application accordingly. His help on the Recommendation Packages was also beneficial as it made life easier for my recommenders; they didn’t have to think twice before committing their time for my applications. The step-by-step approach comes in very handy. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with the Square One Team. I am very grateful to the entire team. I have an offer from all the colleges that I applied to and am now in the process of deciding where to go.
