Case Study: MS Analytics (Sharan)

At Waterloo, apart from an initial first term scholarship of $1800, I got  TA which pays my living expenses for almost 4 months (~$3500). Last but not least, I am very thankful for the help and guidance throughout my application process. It was invaluable. My initial and final statements were miles apart in quality. Same with my LORs.  

Iowa State University has offered me Teaching Assistantship that covers 90% of my expenses. RIT offered 20% scholarship! Nistha’s way of helping me by teaching me to help myself has made this result possible!

Having worked with Nistha to design my application strategy, I would say she is amazing and provided me really insightful feedback on SOP and assisted in shortlisting of schools. She gave me the confidence to apply for ambitious schools and promptly addressed my queries over e-mails. The best past of the Scholar Strategy service is that you’ll be certain of the timelines as to when you will receive the feedback. Their services will be a good fit for people who look for a mentor to guide them, th… Read more

Nistha is an awesome person. Always up to help you and guide you. Thanks Nistha for so many SOP reviews. I don’t think, it would have been possible without your help and guidance.

It was awesome to work with Nistha, on my applications. I received regular responses to improve on my SOP and LOR’s. Great help in shortlisting universities. Thank you Nistha 🙂

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

Scholar Strategy is for people who are looking for a mentor and not a typical counselor. Working with Nistha has been great. She helps you come up with a unique story of your own for the SOP and this I believe is one thing that makes your application stand out. She was available on mails throughout the process, giving honest and practical suggestions. A special mention to our closed Facebook group called ‘Scholar Strategy gang’, this group’s peer-help has been amazing. Thank you, Nistha!… Read more

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.

I could see the difference with each review, and the final draft was completely different. Her comments gave my words a soul and made them seem more alive. I was also able to link each of my experiences to my career goal through the brainstorming session, which improved not only my sop but also my future plan.

Scholar strategy has been of great help during my entire application process and I hope it keeps on doing well and helping others like me.
