Unparalleled service that changed my life — you can't go wrong

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Allison and the Square One Prep team are in a league of their own. Choosing them was one of the best decisions ever, not just for the application process, but my career overall.

I joined Square One Prep as an unsuccessful reapplicant at top MBA programs. Past rejections made me realize that I needed professional guidance and Kathryn, who leads the team, quickly offered a call and did a free detailed ding analysis which helped me understand why I struggled. She also explained why she believed in me in a very personalized way, and after talking close to 4 hours over several calls, I started to believe again. This was all BEFORE I actually chose Square One and paid anything.

I picked Allison as my main consultant, she is a gem and I would recommend her to anyone. Allison is kind, empathetic and sharp as a razor. We went through countless calls and e-mails, and once she got to know me better, she was able to suggest stories before I could recall them myself. I could also learn much on my own thanks to Square One’s in-house portal with essay samples and other useful materials.

Altogether, I received support from a whole group of experts with Allison being my stellar guide, Horatiu in charge of career narrative, Pat providing logistical support and Kathryn overseeing the process. Yes, with Square One Prep, you get a whole group of top-notch experts. And they are all very understanding about your profile, personality and time availability.
Under Allison's guidance, I felt at peace that my application is as strong as it can be. And it paid off royally. I was accepted to the top program in my selection (and a couple others), which I honestly still can’t believe 😊I can only say — even if you’re in doubt, give Square One a shot!
Overall, not only I got to my dream program, but the consulting experience was way better than I imagined. No one felt out of place, no one was selling me stuff I don’t want, and no one was fake. Just quiet confidence of people you’d like to have a beer with. Enrolling with Allison and Square One changed my life and that's why I’m happy to share it here.
