A busy schedule

After passing my company’s internal sponsorship selection in March 2018, I continued preparing amid a busy schedule involving work and family commitments. Thanks to Round One’s support, I was ultimately admitted to my target school, the Tepper School of Business.

A convincing meeting

I had heard from a friend that Round One was excellent, so around July I contacted Mr. Round, met with him while he was visiting Japan, and decided to sign up. The services I received are listed below.

 

  • Application strategy and overall timeline planning
  • Résumé development support
  • Essay development support
  • Application form review
  • Interview training

Comprehensive and flexible support

Although my company had assigned another Japanese counselor to me, what clearly set Round One apart was the comprehensive nature of its support—including overall schedule design and ongoing schedule management. Because they appear to limit the number of clients they accept, I felt that they truly paid close attention to each individual applicant, which was extremely reassuring.

 

I also greatly appreciated the flexible support provided for matters such as drafting communications to admissions offices, reviewing entire application forms, and converting interview practice scripts into more natural spoken English. Mr. Round’s personality is exceptional as well, and even during what can be a highly stressful application process, I always felt calm and comfortable communicating with him.

 

I am deeply grateful for Round One’s support. Thank you very much.
