When I began thinking about my post-military career, I contacted a recent HBS grad about pursuing business school. He recommended I immediately research Square One Prep call Kathryn, as SOP was instrumental in his success. After a 2-hour call with Kathryn, I was sold on working with Square One Prep, and it was a game-changer in my MBA application journey. From the very first call, Kathryn took the time to understand my unique background and thoughtfully paired me with the best team to support my goals. Her dedication to each individual applicant and her expertise were evident in every conversation, and her personalized approach gave me confidence in the stressful process. The team we chose was nothing short of exceptional.
Anna, my advisor, was a constant source of motivation and reassurance. Her deep knowledge and easy-going nature made the process feel both manageable and enjoyable. Horatiu helped me refine my goals and craft a compelling story that aligned perfectly with my passions. Kelsey and Pat ensured I stayed on track and met every milestone. Together, they created a structured, collaborative environment where I felt supported and confident throughout the process. If I ever had a question (and I had plenty), Anna and the team were always just an email or call away.
I’m thrilled to share that I was admitted to the Tepper School of Business, and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible team at SOP. If you’re serious about your MBA aspirations, I highly recommend reaching out to Kathryn and her team, you won’t find a more dedicated and capable group to guide you through the process!
