Structured approach, candid feedback, impressive turn-around time

In my first "supposedly" 30-minute free consultancy meeting, the founder, Kathryn spent 1.5 hours discussing every "raw material" I had such as work experience, leadership activities, and goals. That's why I chose SOP over the top 5 companies that have the highest numbers of reviews on GMAT Club that I have talked with.

Then I work with Allison on my application and interviews, Horatiu on my career narratives, and Kathryn on school selection, and final essay drafts.

I think the service of SOP is top-notch for 3 reasons.
1. Structured approach.
- Kathryn and Allison helped me to build the school list that fits my risk appetite and then proposed a clear timeline to complete all the applications
- I got detailed guidelines for every part of my application, with tons of examples from other admitted students

2. Candid and helpful feedback
- In everything from career narratives, resumes, and LOR to essays, Allison and Horatiu pushed me over my comfort zone and achieved the best of what I could do.
- Horatiu gave me a clear view of how I should build my career story, which I definitely could not build by myself. He had practice industry experience along with high-admission consulting for many students
- Allison is an excellent writer who spent a lot of time brainstorming topics with me, gave me prompts to write the idea more clearly, and helped me to fine-tune my points in beautiful ways.

3. Impressive turn-around time
- Allison gives me feedback in 12-36 hours, most of the time, even on holidays. This high-intensity support really helped me to complete all the materials I need.

Results:
- I worked with SOP at 3 schools and got admission to all of them: Judge, Yale SOM, and Kellogg. Even my manager did not think I could get into M7
- With the materials on hand, I applied to other schools and got admission from Ross with a full ride of $170K.
