Success despite low GMAT

Thanks to Mr. Round’s warm support and polished essay guidance, I was able to gain admission to multiple schools, including MIT, despite having a GMAT score that was far below my original target.

Strategic Counseling

I received prompt and reassuring support as part of the Strategic Guidance, including school selection, choosing recommenders, and editing emails to admissions offices.
I was also given detailed support for post-admission procedures, which was extremely helpful.

Essay Counseling

The essay counseling was both efficient and strategic. While building on my own ideas, Mr. Round helped create highly competitive content, which I found invaluable.
By pursuing efficiency in essay preparation while maintaining strong competitiveness, I was able to maximize the time available for studying.
I clearly remember how reassured I felt when I shared my anxiety—“Will my essays really be strong enough to pass?”—and Mr. Round responded, “There’s absolutely no problem. Your unique strengths are clearly coming through in these areas, so be confident.”
When I decided to add additional schools unexpectedly at the beginning of the year, extra time was secured for me, which was tremendously helpful.
I believe this approach is especially well suited for those who prefer to entrust a certain degree of decision-making to a professional rather than debating every minor detail in depth.

Interview Training

I utilized all three types of training: Type A, B, and C.
The Type A training with Mr. Round and Emma included scored feedback, which allowed me to objectively assess my performance. Because areas for improvement were clearly identified, this was extremely useful for building a solid foundation.
Type B training helped me refine finer points such as phrasing and expression.
By preparing killer questions through Type C training, I was able to approach interviews with confidence.

Private client video seminars

The original essay and interview guidance videos created by Mr. Round, which are available online, comprehensively cover key points and were extremely helpful.

A deep sense of gratitude

I am deeply grateful for Mr. Round’s professional work. Thank you very much.
