Collin Brady

Consultant Bio

Collin Brady has a breadth of experience in healthcare private equity, venture capital, M&A, strategy and management consulting. He is currently a Director of Strategy, M&A, and Ventures within strategy at a major healthtech company in Cambridge. He was previously the Deland Fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Harvard Medical School) where he was selected from over 100 applications including MDs, MBAs, MPHs, etc.

Collin has earned his MBA from Kellogg, Master’s degree in engineering from MIT, and BS in Aerospace Engineering and BS in Economics from Penn State. Collin chose to attend Kellogg because of its accelerated one year program, which was important to him after completing his Master’s degree from MIT.

Collin has been with Square One since 2015, helping applicants earn acceptance to top tier MBA programs. He strongly believes that unearthing a strong narrative is imperative for applicants, especially those who are from overrepresented and technical backgrounds. He enjoys working with clients to identify emotionally captivating themes that will connect with their future career goals and the schools to which they are applying. He believes that the relationship between applicant and consultant should be fluid and 24/7 throughout the entire process even after the final application is submitted.

Collin is also a published author, including a white paper for NASA which is still available on the NASA.gov website.

When Collin is not working with his clients, he is golfing or spending time with his two very large Bengal cats, Colt and Penny and dogs, Goose and Leroy.

Company Information

Square One Prep has partnered with 1200 clients since 2009. 90% have succeeded; 35% have secured unsolicited scholarships (avg.: $91,000 as of April 2022) due to the quality of their applications.

Our clients come from all types of professions – from financial services, product management, engineering, operations, and consulting to professional sports, entrepreneurship, non-profit, family businesses, and teaching. They come from all parts of the world; 54% are from outside the US. They’re all imperfect, as there’s no such thing as a perfect applicant. And they’re all unique, with compelling stories to tell. So are you, even though you may question that right now. With an unmatched team and approach, we’ll guide you through the increasingly competitive application process and make the time you spend on applications transformative so you grow in ways that benefit you far beyond getting offers. Hard to imagine, right? Trust us. Take a deep breath and relax.

Top business schools teach that diverse teams create the most impactful solutions. Our diverse team ensures our clients craft the most impactful applications. In addition to being the most diverse among admissions firms, our team is the most rigorous and hands-on.

We are selective about who we guide, as our focus isn’t revenue; it’s you.

Roadmap To Your Apps

With comprehensive guidance, we offer two service levels: PREMIUM (P) and PREMIUM NEED-BASED (PNB). Whether you choose P or PNB, your team will have 30-80 years of diverse, expert experience.

With PNB service, your team is:
– An Advisor (a top MBA with proven coaching and writing skills)
– A Career Narrative Expert (a current/former MBA Career Management professional)
– A Former MBA Admissions Officer (no further description necessary)
– An Editor (a writing professional with a creative writing MFA)
– A Partnership Manager (an MBA with operations and client relations expertise)

With P service, your team is everyone above, plus:
– A Current MBA Admissions Officer (yes, you read that right)
– Square One’s Founder (to amplify your relentlessly supportive SOP team)

You may choose a standard advisor (has 1-4 years advising experience) or a senior advisor (has 5+ years advising experience). Some of our advisors do this fulltime, some are entrepreneurs, and some have traditional 40hr/wk careers. Some clients want their advisor to be dedicated to this fulltime while others value their advisor having a wider spectrum of present-day expertise than admissions. None of our advisors work with more than 6 clients at a time. Most work with only 1-2. Again, our focus isn’t volume; it’s you.

There is one more asset on your team when you work with us: our portal. It includes your customized, dynamic, day-by-day schedule, which is always in real-time, reflects your bigger objective (not just the schools you’re building with us), shows your actual pace, captures everything you must do or have done
as it regards your application effort, and includes embedded samples of everything imaginable as well as school data to help you. We give you transparency while guiding you proactively.
