I am incredibly happy and motivated by the news!!
Kathryn, I sincerely wanted to thank you for your support, guidance, and encouragement throughout this entire process. I am so glad that you were the one advising me, you truly knew how to bring out the best in me within my applications, which was essential in my admission. Thank you for always being sincerely and constructively honest with me.
Horatiu, thank you very much for providing the clarity I needed to define my professional goals and aspirations. Your insights didn’t just help me get admitted, they actually helped me find the path I truly want to follow.
Thank you both so much!
Now on to my review: When I started my MBA application process, I had consultations with other very famous online firms, but it wasn’t until a friend (who is also at HBS) recommended SOP that I found the right fit. From my free consultation with Kathryn, I immediately felt a huge difference; unlike other companies, everything here felt much more personal and tailored. This gave me the confidence I needed because I knew that reaching HBS required a level of detail that could bring every nuance of my life, career, and personality to light. SOP has a dedicated team for every stage of the application, and working with Kathryn was incredible. Her feedback was extremely constructive, but she went far beyond just the application itself.
She advised me with her point of view through professional decisions that could have impacted my candidacy, truly caring about making the pre-MBA experience smoother, more transformative, and less stressful. Even regardless of being admitted to HBS, Sloan, and Tuck, I feel my experience with SOP helped me evolve and prepared me for the challenges ahead. I started this journey thinking HBS was a very long shot, but SOP gave me the confidence to own my story and face my interviews like a champ!! I highly recommend them to anyone aiming for the top.
