Partner with us to ensure your next destination is business school.We’ve helped 1,300 clients since 2009. 90% succeeded and 38% secured unsolicited scholarships (avg.: $101,000 as of February 2025). Our focus isn’t client volume or revenue; it’s you.
Our clients come from all types of professions – from financial services, product management, and consulting to entrepreneurship, non-profit, and family businesses. They come from all parts of the world; 57% are from outside the US. They’re all imperfect, as there’s no such thing as a perfect applicant. And they’re all unique, with compelling stories to tell. So are you, even though you may
question that right now.
Are we doing what all the other firms in the industry are doing? Yes. What’s different is our team and approach.
If you work with us, prepare to work harder and spend more time on your applications than you will if you work with any other firm, because of the rigor and hands-on care we bring to partnerships. We understand that could be all you need to read to decide that we aren’t the right partner for you. If so, no worries. We wish you well with your applications.
For those of you still reading, know that our rigor and care are just a natural part of the bespoke experience your 4-person Square One team will give you. You’ll build applications that secure offers, while developing confidence and clarity that transcends them. With three services – Premium, Premium Need-based, and Premium Essential – we hope one meets your needs and budget. We’re excited to get to know, challenge, and guide you!
To learn if we're the right firm for you, and you for us (as we are selective about who we guide), request a free consult. You'll begin to see how we're different beyond what we say above, because our founder is who will reply, and typically within minutes. Yes, she’s busy, but you matter. So she won’t require you to pass some criteria to give you time. During your call, she won’t try to sell Square One to you. She'll try to get to know you and tell you the truth about your candidacy, based on Square One’s empirical data, team knowledge, and discussions with current admissions officers. She won’t tell you what you want to hear; she’ll tell you what you need to hear. That could align with what you hope she says, or it could make you want to throw your phone. But what’s important is that you will be able to trust that she is being honest with you.

Hi Srishti, thanks for sharing your profile in detail.
A 670 GMAT is a solid score, especially for MiM programs, but competitiveness will vary by school. For LBS, the MiM class average GMAT is usually higher (often in the low-700s), so while it’s not impossible, it would be a reach school unless the rest of your application—essays, recommendations, and leadership story—really stands out. LSE tends to be more holistic and less GMAT-centric, so you likely have a reasonable chance, particularly given your strong academics in school and your entrepreneurial exposure. NUS MiM is also achievable, especially since they value international profiles and practical experience.
Your entrepreneurial background is actually a strong differentiator. Working with a family business from your first year, expanding operations, and setting up independent units shows initiative, ownership, and real-world impact—qualities MiM programs value highly. Make sure your application clearly quantifies results (revenue growth, scale, employees, processes improved).
Given your profile, you should also consider:
HEC Paris MiM
ESSEC
ESCP Europe
IE Business School
Imperial College Business School
Rotterdam School of Management
SMU (Singapore Management University)
These schools place strong emphasis on leadership potential, internships, and international outlook rather than just test scores.
One suggestion: if time allows, a GMAT retake to push closer to 700 could significantly strengthen your chances at LBS and top European schools—but it’s not mandatory if your story is compelling.
Your long-term goal of building a business is very clear, and you should connect this to how an MiM will help you professionalize and scale ventures—similar to how structured planning and market understanding are essential when evaluating opportunities like Affordable Housing in Gurgaon, where success depends on research, execution, and long-term vision.
Overall, you have a competitive and differentiated profile. Focus on strong essays, impactful recommendations, and a clear narrative, and you should be in a good position for several top MiM programs.
All the best with your applications.
