Admission to a top MBA was the dream I spent the last few years working towards. The process, however, is challenging to navigate and can be overwhelming at times. Even more so, it is essential to have someone who competently supports you through this intense period.
I have felt in the best hands with Square One Prep throughout the whole process. It began with the free consultation with Kathryn and continued throughout the entire process, including the development of a career narrative and later the reiteration of numerous essays together. Especially for the essays, I was incredibly grateful to work together with Kelsey. Having someone else look at you from an outside perspective helps bring out potential that you might not even notice yourself. Moreover, Kelsey has a gift for beautiful phrasing that helps to make your story read nicely. Moreover, she managed me and always made sure we were on time with everything – it is easy to fall behind in such a time-intensive process with outside responsibilities not waiting.
It was an intense and highly important process. I was incredibly fortunate to have Square One Prep on my side during this time, and if I were to do it all over again, I would choose to work with Kathryn and Kelsey again. Thank you so much for helping me get admitted to my dream MBA program!
