Square One Prep was an exceptional partner throughout my entire business school application journey. Amalia and Kathryn were deeply involved from the very beginning, helping me thoughtfully frame my experiences and interests and guiding me to define the lens through which I wanted to approach the application process. Horatiu helped me refine a career narrative that felt true to myself and resonated with schools.
They didn’t write my applications for me. Instead, they asked the right questions, pushed me to think deeply about the story I wanted to tell, and helped me iterate in a way that was both authentic and compelling, and something I could confidently speak to in interviews. Their support was truly comprehensive, spanning career positioning, essays, and interview preparation.
Amalia took the time to understand my working style and adapted seamlessly to it, while holding me to a high standard that consistently brought out my best work. With the Square One team’s support, I was admitted to every school I applied to (GSB, HBS, Wharton, and Columbia). I cannot recommend Square One highly enough.
