Scholar Strategy has great raves from happy students.
I highly recommend scholar strategy because unlike other Counselling agencies, it helps aspiring students to work on SOP on their own. No one spoon feeds which infact is better and efficient way of advising. Ironically I feel more independent and confident if and when I apply to more universities and might skip counselling sessions in the future.
The best part is that by joining scholar strategy one becomes a part of a highly interactive and vibrant network of students studying or applying … creating a platform to learn and grow!! Kudos to Nistha!
I really liked the way Nistha handles SOP and LOR reviews patiently. I am glad to be part of the Scholar Strategy society.
Nistha was really helpful and guided me through out my application process. Right from university shortlisting to writing SOPs and LORs, her guidance was very useful. Her reviews and comments were straight-forward and meaningful. She was very approachable and was always available for assistance. Overall I would like to thank Nistha for her counseling throughout my application process and would recommend her to all my friends.
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!
Working with Nistha was a great experience as she meticulously helped me form a strategy for the SoP . Throughout the application period , there were numerous discussions and iterations , the final version of SoP looked much better than I had envisaged . I don’t think the admits would have been possible without her guidance. Thanks Nistha !
Nistha has one of the best strategies drafted out to work on your applications. Working with her on my M.S applications was such an interesting as well as enriching experience. One of the things I like about her work style is her attention to detail and how she takes in your inputs as a client as well.
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.
Most of my friends initially suggested not to join scholarstrategy and instead join some local consultancy as they felt this was not a proper one. But after going through the services you offer, reading your answers on quora I felt that scholar strategy is way better than other consultancies who lack basic knowledge. Though some may argue that the methods employed at scholar strategy were little bit different but I personally am very satisfied as this is what I was looking for instead of someone writing my sop.
If there is anything that differentiates scholar strategy from others it is the sop reviewing process. Initially even after writing gre I was not very clear about my choices but the phone call session and the comments and questions that you asked while writing sop made me contemplate about it.
One more thing that I really like about the whole process is your honesty and admitting that dont know about something instead of giving some random advice. Also I found the other members of the group to be very friendly,insightful and helpful.
P.S: I know that you asked for few lines but I guess I should still learn to prioritize after all.
Most places don’t encourage you to apply to ambitious schools – they ask you to only apply to universities where you will almost certainly get in (the ‘safety’ schools), so that they will definitely have a ‘success’ story. Nistha’s different. Not only does she encourage you to apply to ambitious schools, she also helps you narrow down on the ones which match your interests best. Her advice is encouraging, and also practical at the same time; you can definitely see that she’s been through all this herself. You’re in good hands – she’ll make sure you’re on the right track! 🙂
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)]
