Of all of the choices I’ve made professionally in the last 5 years, working with SOP feels like the best decision I’ve made for my future success.
I wasn’t 100% sure that I wanted to go to business school, and I wanted to focus on going to a school that would be a good culture fit. Kathryn helped me narrow my options to a list I was really excited about and recommended a school I hadn’t previously considered specifically for the culture fit – and now I’ve been admitted to that school as my top choice!
As an applicant with a non-traditional professional background, the SOP team’s guidance was invaluable in helping me highlight my experience in ways that an admissions committee could understand. I absolutely loved working with my advisor, Catherine, and felt that she got to know me well enough throughout the process that she could push me to deliver my best work. Catherine’s support on developing a career narrative, selecting essay topics, and preparing for interviews made me feel much more confident about the aspects of the admissions process I was nervous about.
From the unexpected merit scholarships that I was awarded to the peace of mind that came from having SOP’s support along the way, the investment in working with SOP more than paid for itself. Strongly recommend to anyone applying to business school!
