I started working with Lara a month and a half before the deadlines, while I was still due to write my GMAT.
Lara truly stands out,
– She brought out the best in me
– Held me to a high standard and made me produce work that I was proud of irrespective of the result. She did not give up when I was stubborn about inaccurate points, and work really hard alongside me even when I was being “difficult” in a traditional sense. She is also blazing fast with her responses.
– Open to ideas, being challenged and taking risks together
– Mega helpful for interview prep, I did not use any external consultants for the interview
– Genuinely cares about long-term growth beyond applications. I became a better communicator and more reflective person in the process.
She’s amazing, I’d trust her on helping me on topics beyond college apps.
Kelsey worked as a sounding board to us, she is amazing as well!
Square One has a unique but very structured and thought through approach. By the time you end up writing the application you are well prepared for the interview.
