Working with Square1Prep was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA journey. At the beginning of the process, I really had no idea where to apply or how to approach the applications strategically. Square1Prep guided me in identifying the right programs to target and pushed me to reflect deeply on my motivations for pursuing an MBA (something every applicant will absolutely need to articulate). Through that process, I was able to refine my “why MBA” and craft a clear and compelling narrative that connected my goals and past experiences.
As decisions started coming in, I was waitlisted at several programs. This is where Square1Prep’s support was invaluable. They helped me build a thoughtful and actionable waitlist strategy, connected me with current students, and kept me focused and optimistic. In the end, I not only got off the waitlists but also received a scholarship to my top choice program.
Throughout the entire process, it never felt like I was just a client. Square1Prep genuinely cared about my success and was fully invested in helping me reach my goals. I highly recommend their services to anyone pursuing an MBA because the application process is far more than just a strong GMAT score and a few AI-generated essays.
