I highly recommend Square One Prep as a resource for anyone applying to business school. My key goals during the application process were to remain true to and portray an authentic picture of myself in my applications. I communicated this upfront with Kathryn and was immediately impressed by her desire to help me achieve this goal. She answered all of my initial questions—even the most pressing ones—and was accessible throughout the process, including to hop on a call during the work day with less than an hour notice! Furthermore, my work with Kelsey W, Horatiu, and Kelsey K was essential to cultivating my authentic narrative and gaining the confidence necessary to succeed in writing essays and performing at interviews. Throughout the process, Kelsey W was and will continue to be a mentor who challenges me to perform my best!
I started the application process with little hope for admission—then I found Square One. I now move on from the business school application process with not only acceptances to all of my dream schools, but more importantly, a deeper understanding of self and clearer picture of what I’d like to do in the future. This is all thanks to the unparalleled commitment to excellence that all my advisors at Square One Prep demonstrated throughout my application process.
