Kyle Hutton

Consultant Bio

I have had a life filled with courage, compassion and connection and bring these traits to my client partnerships to build trust with my clients as I help them uncover their purpose in life. By enabling deep
introspection and honesty, I guide my clients to craft applications that connect with admission committees.

I attended Howard University for my undergraduate studies, where I graduated as Valedictorian of the School of Business. I began my career at McKinsey & Company as a management consultant and transitioned to the Gerson Lehrman Group as a middle-market private equity due diligence consultant. Seeking a career pivot into the technology sector, I attended Harvard Business School where I served as a representative on the Harvard Graduate Council and in a leadership role within the African American Students’ Union. Today, I work at Google in a Strategy and Operations role for the Ads Go-To-Market business.

I am from the beautiful twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago and strongly encourage everyone to participate in our Carnival celebration at least once in their lifetime. I have travelled to 55+ countries, love experimenting in the kitchen, and enjoy scuba-diving. As an advisor, I bring my attentive ear, direct probing, and island spirit into my partnerships with each client.

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.

OUR COVERAGE:
Assessment of your candidacy
School selection
Career narrative strategy
Resume development
Essay topic selection and essay development
Recommender selection, letter of recommendation (LOR) package development, LOR construction
Online application
Interview preparation (includes pre- and post-interview essays/videos)
