I wanted to study education policy, so I applied concurrently to graduate schools of education and public policy.

 

Many consultants only work with MBA applicants, but Round One was willing to support me regardless of my field of study.

 

In my case, my circumstances varied depending on the timing:

 

While on parental leave → I could not leave the house during the day, so I wanted to receive consulting support from home late at night (Japan time).

 

After returning to work → My job became very busy, and it was difficult even to schedule Skype sessions at fixed times, so I asked that I be able to send materials by email and have them reviewed in advance.

 

I had requests like these, and all of them were handled with great flexibility. I believe that this level of flexibility—made possible by a fully online model—is one of Round One’s greatest strengths.

 

For essays, I drafted them myself while receiving extensive support using proprietary worksheets, and then had them carefully reviewed.

 

For someone like me, who wanted to write essays in my own words but did not know where to begin, this approach was ideal. The result was well-structured English writing that still felt authentically like my own.

 

In addition to essays with a wide variety of prompts, there were many other requirements, including recommendation letters, writing samples, and interviews. Round One provided thorough support for all of these tasks.

 

Without Steve’s support, admission would not have been possible. I am deeply grateful.
