I started the application season completely blind to how the process worked. Coming from the military, I also had very limited knowledge of what business schools were looking for and what goals were reasonable. My advisor, Catherine, was SO helpful, going above and beyond and answering every small question I had. I felt supported and guided throughout the admissions cycle. I worked with Square One in Round 2 on one school comprehensively. I took all that I created – the resume, LORs, career narrative/goals essay, introspection work, and interview prep -and applied to other schools, securing offers from Booth, Columbia, Ross, Tuck, and Yale (got large scholarships from three). I then applied to Sloan on my own Round 3 with the tools/products that Square One equipped me with and got an offer! It would have been impossible without them. I am attending Sloan in the fall and couldn’t be more grateful for Square One!
