It has been a dream for me attend business school and I knew I had a very high risk appetite going in: applying to only m7 schools. No one in my family had gotten their MBA from a top business school and I wanted to ensure that I put my best foot forward. A friend of a friend had recommended Square One Prep, so I decided to book a free consultation with Kathryn. The meeting lasted well over the allotted time and it felt like such a natural conversation where she was trying to get to know me: my goals, my hobbies, what drives me, what my passions are, and why I wanted to pursue an MBA at this time. I got to know more about how thorough and personalized Square One’s process was as well. I then was able to have conversations with a couple different consultants and decided to work with Catherine. She is incredibly diligent, empathetic, and a wonderful person to work with! She has a quick turn around time for edits on deliverables, kept me accountable for resume, LOR, career narrative, and essay deadlines, and truly created a safe space for me to be vulnerable and share my voice through my writing. I was incredibly impressed by how involved the team was with each step of the application process, not once did I feel overwhelmed or like I was going through this process alone. Catherine and the Square One team were my biggest cheerleaders even after I submitted my apps R1 and helped me prep for interviews, pre-interview assignments, and cheered me on throughout all my acceptances. I got into MIT Sloan(with $$), U Chicago Booth, Kellogg(with $$), and Columbia because of the Square One team and I cannot thank them enough for their support throughout.
