Product Square One Prep Premium Service
Consultant Allison Nelson
Strengths:
Team that really cares about you- they push you to be better.
I cannot recommend Square One Prep enough!!!
I was coming from a non-traditional healthcare background, and like many applicants, I had doubts about how competitive my profile really was. But Kathryn, Allison, and Horatiu never wavered — they believed in me even when I was unsure, and they helped me bring clarity, structure, and confidence to my story.
Kathryn and Allison pushed me to refine my narrative, think critically about my goals, and elevate my applications with intention and precision. They were willing to work around my late shifts at the hospital and were always available for a quick phone call. They truly cared about getting to know you to help discover your story. Horatiu was instrumental in helping me develop a thoughtful career narrative that felt both ambitious and deeply personal. He empowered my voice and helped me connect the dots between my past experiences and future aspirations.
With their support, I was admitted to six top MBA programs, including Kellogg, Columbia, and Stern, and received generous scholarships. What stood out most was how hands-on and tailored the process was. This was not cookie-cutter consulting — it was a true partnership that helped me become a stronger, more self-aware applicant.
If you’re looking for a team that challenges you, believes in your potential, and brings out your best, Square One Prep is that team. I’m so grateful to all of you!
