Interview – How Facebook Intern spent her first year in Grad School

I pinch myself from time to time to make sure that this isn’t a dream. Because CMU has always been my dream as far as I can remember and Scholar Strategy helped me achieve that dream. After talking to around 10 counselors in Delhi, a friend recommended Scholar Strategy to me. I was completely clueless and misguided. Nistha brought me on the right track and was straightforward to me about my chances. I believe in the saying ‘The more I practice, the luckier I get’ and so does Nistha. If y… Read more

The best thing about the SOP reviewing was the to-the-point feedback and I am really thankful to Nistha for her excellent advice and reviews. Also, the SOP preparation call along with the mastermind sessions were really good and helpful. Learned a lot from Nistha’s experience and guidance.

The honesty with which the SoPs were reviewed was refreshing. The best part was, I was still writing each word of the SoP on my own, with the best possible feedback I could have gotten. It’s the way its supposed to be. Also, the insight Nistha offered to help me in selecting the right schools to apply to was invaluable.

I am in awe of the value and momentum Nistha and ScholarStrategy offered to progression of my calling. Those SOP critiques and university evaluations deepened my belief that a person can do more than he assume. The structure of SS helped me realize that aspirations need perseverance and a strategy. Thank you so much again and Keep transforming lives!

Nistha is very smart and she knows what she’s doing. She’s always available on mail for reviews and other questions as well. I think if you’re looking for a counsellor, she’s one of the best! [Admitted to Columbia (MSEE), Dartmouth (MEM), USC (MEM), Duke (MEM), TAMU (MIS), UMCP (MIS), UIUC (MSTM)]

Nistha is very critical with the SOP and the LORs. She pushes students to get the best out of them. This might sometimes suggest hectic and students might feel that whatever they’ve already written would be enough. But, trust me, Nistha knows what is correct. She has been in this industry for a quite a while now. Nistha pays a lot of importance to the fact that the overall profile including resume, SOPs and LORs are an important aspect to the college application. Merely having a good GRE/TOEFL w… Read more

I really liked the way Nistha handles SOP and LOR reviews patiently. I am glad to be part of the Scholar Strategy society.

Nistha really helped me get the best SOP out there, with every iteration that we went through. I being a reapplicant realized how coherent and concise my words looked, after the final version was approved. From shortlisting universities to mentoring as to which one we should join, Nistha has been a great mentor.

Thank you for the honest feedback on the SOP. The preparation for the SOPs helped me in the interviews and I would recommend Nistha for a friend looking for higher studies especially in US

SS helped me a lot during the application process. In addition to the help provided by Nistha, the SS community added more value to the package.
