MS CS admit with aid from Syracuse

Thank you so much for guiding me through the applications. Without your guidance, I might not have applied to CU Boulder and definitely would not have gotten through. I am happy to share that I got through Google, Amazon, Salesforce and Spotify for my summer internship.

When I started with my MS application process, I was clear that I required a mentor, who would guide me through the process, and not someone who would give me a free ride to an average university and ask me to feel grateful for it. Nistha proved to be the best mentor I could hope for. I always had to be at the top of my game while working with her. Right from university selection, to drafting my statement of purpose and letter of recommendations, her valuable feedback helped me excel. Her fee… Read more

It’s not about getting low or high GRE and TOEFL score. It’s about the complete profile. Walking out with low score from centre disappointed me but Nistha’s guidance in making strong SOP/LOR/Resume made me eligible for getting into good universities. She is the only one who actually knows what admission committee needs. From start to end she was very handy and quick in evaluating profile and making it strong. As I can see student with more than 300 score in GRE got rejection from NEU, BOSTON. Bu… Read more

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.

I have worked with Nistha on my MS applications for last 3 months. From day 1 she is available on phone and emails. She reviewed my SOP, resume and other documents thoroughly. All her suggestions have been beneficial to me. Thank you Nistha, for all the guidance you have provided to me.

I was a mid-career professional in my early thirties when I started my journey with Scholar Strategy (SS). Tired with the monotonous job, and frustrated with corporate politics, I was probably going through a ‘mid-career’ crisis, not really sure where I wanted to go. This is when Nistha came to my rescue and trust me she is the best counsellor I have ever had in my life! Having spent 12 years in IT industry, I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to do an MBA and that’s when Nistha helped me f… Read more

Thank you so much, Nistha. It would not have been possible without your guidance. The admit from UChicago was a dream come true. I still believe that the turning point for all my applications was the SOP. I don’t have enough words to thank you. Keep up with good work.

After a disappointing application cycle for Fall 20 where I received rejects from all of my preferred universities, I reached out to Nistha and team for help for my Fall 21 applications. From the get go, the process is so streamlined and smooth. I received emails about next steps and how to go about everything. Nistha is very focused and has the ability to find notice and point out even the most minute details that make a huge difference in the quality of me essays and applications. The di… Read more

Nistha is undoubtedly the best at what she does. Unlike most counselors who work on a copy-paste strategy, Nistha provides a great user experience, helping you craft a unique coherent story for the admission essay/SOP. She pushes you to think outside the box, something no other counsellor can do. She ensures that you apply to the best schools, providing constructive feedback for every choice. In summary, Scholar Strategy is the Bee’s Knees. Thank You Nistha for being awesome.

I had quite an unconventional background after my engineering and I was not sure how I was going to approach my applications to universities. Nistha guided me through the process and gave me clarity as to how I should prepare my file. She also reviewed my SOP and provided valuable insights that finally resulted in making my case as compelling as possible, which I believe played a crucial part in the final admission. Apart from all this, joining scholar strategy makes you part of a great network … Read more
