Our Reviews

Hiral helped me find my voice and tell my story. She was always there for me, answering my questions, giving me advice, and cheering me on. Because of her amazing work, I was able to get into my dream school, Northeastern University. Initially, I didn’t want to apply to the school because I never thought I’d get in. If it wasn’t for Hiral’s diligent edits on my application it would not have been strong enough for a competitive university such as Northeastern. I am forever grateful for her help and recommend this consulting group to everyone. 

Avani was extremely supportive and helpful throughout my entire application process. She provided such comprehensive and thoughtful guidance with each step, including essay writing and interview prep. She, without a doubt, made my application stronger!

I don’t normally give out reviews, but Sahil was an incredible help! Sahil took great care to review every single one of my application materials and was always willing to answer any questions I had. As someone whose parents didn’t go to college in this country, it was really great to have someone familiar with the application process with me every step of the way.
