I would like to highlight below what I see as the key strengths of Round One for applicants who are looking for an essay counselor.
At Round One, the counselors are exclusively Mr. and Ms. Round. Mr. Round is widely regarded as one of the most trusted counselors in the Japanese MBA admissions industry and was previously considered part of the industry’s “top tier.” Ms. Round, who reviewed my essays directly, also brings extensive experience and a strong track record as a counselor, and she provided an exceptionally high-quality level of service.
At Round One, counseling time slots are fixed, which allows you to build a reliable schedule and work with confidence toward application deadlines. I used an early weekday morning slot, and in hindsight, this was far better than late nights with unpredictable work hours or weekends filled with prep schools and information sessions. When necessary, I was also able to quickly check essay direction via Skype before heading to work.
I was working under an extremely tight schedule, completing essays for approximately ten schools in just two months. Even under these conditions, Round One reliably reviewed and edited a large volume of assignments every week, which gave me great peace of mind. Even when my drafts contained critical issues, they were always identified and corrected. The overall quality of the service was consistently very high.
