Square One Prep was far and away the best decision I made during my business school application process. I first reached out to Kathryn at the strong recommendation of two friends who had both been admitted to top schools. This, however, was before I was sure I even wanted to attend business school. The fact that I wasn't sure about applying did not stop her from spending a great deal of time with me walking through my background, the potential strengths and weaknesses of my application, and how we could potentially craft my story. Once we agreed to work together a few months later, nothing changed. The entire process was one in which she was always available (almost immediate e-mail response was typical) and willing to offer her blunt, yet much needed feedback. She knew when to really push you to dig deeper in crafting your essays and her help with interview preparation was invaluable. I was extremely impressed with how easy she made a difficult process feel due to her organization and encouragement. You could tell that she truly cared about helping you achieve your goals and that she would not let you rest until you put forth the best application possible. I am happy to say that I received admission to both Wharton and Columbia! The support and guidance she offered were critical in making that happen.

Experience during the program

Wharton has met every need, goal, and expectation. The student body is extremely diverse, the course opportunities are plentiful, and the alumni network is strong. Having a large student body has been one of the beneficial aspects as you are in classes and clubs with people of all different backgrounds. The opportunity to learn from all of them has been extremely rewarding. I have also thoroughly impressed by the quality of speakers that are brought in to speak with Wharton students. The career services department is extremely helpful and focused on finding you the best job possible. Wouldn't change anything.
