Thank you SOP!

Since I signed up with Square One, I have received great support and partnership in my MBA application journey! I started working with the team within two months of R1 deadlines, and the whole team, Kathryn, Allison, Cristina and Horatiu, crafted a workable timeline, consistently held me accountable for all of my applications as well as pushed me to challenge myself in terms of content for my application materials. As a result, we put together five applications in this short time period!

I have appreciated Allison's direct communication method and her honest feedback. I valued her and Kathryn's honest approach about why you are applying, finding meaningful anecdotes to discuss on applications, as well as helping me figure out any unexpected changes along the way. There were times during the application, for example one of my video essays, where I thought my video was good enough, but Allison and Cristina pushed me to keep working and submit my best work product. The interview process can also be emotionally draining and fatiguing but Allison encouraged me to stay positive.

I am happy that I chose SOP as in retrospect, there were so many moving pieces over the course of many months. It truly felt like a marathon and I could not have achieved my outcome without the consistent push and support from the SOP team! I am happy to have gotten into many of the schools I applied to and some with very generous scholarships!
