Working with Kathryn, Amalia, Wendy and Kelsey has been invaluable towards getting into the schools that I did. Despite having less than average GMAT score and less than average years of work experience, I was able to build a really strong application thanks to the SOP team. Throughout this process, they not only helped me strengthen my brand but also challenged me to set realistic goals/aims in my essays which had been crucial to explaining to the adcoms why I wanted an MBA now. Most importantly, the way they were able to tie my story together by taking into account my background, unique circumstance and previous experiences to make me stand out as a candidate is what enabled me to overcome my less desirable stats. to achieve the outcomes that I did. Specifically, I really appreciated the time and effort they put into my application from the 1-hr initial consultation that Kathryn had with me from the very beginning to the quick responses that I would receive for many of my very detailed questions throughout this entire process.
I would highly recommend working with the SOP team to anyone looking to pursue an MBA, specifically at schools that you may believe are out of reach for you!
