Most of the time we fret about planning. As you guys crunch out your apps for Fall 2014, this might be a good time to lean back and watch something to smile about life and see the bigger picture. And this takes me back to my post on why its important to understand your real passion in life.
Anyways, enjoy this talk by Varun Agarwal!
I cannot thank Nistha enough for her guidance regarding LOR’s, SOP, University selection and finally being a pillar of support at all times. The best part is she understands the whole range of emotions students go through during the application process. Most people don’t, because they themselves never faced such a situation. Scholar Strategy being an online venture is very convenient for everyone I guess. It saved me a lot of time. The only thing I needed to do whenever I had any query was to… 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
I decided to join Scholar Strategy based on Nistha’s credentials and I am very happy with the services provided so far. She had a one on one telephonic conversation with me which helped me put to perspective what I really wanted from my Masters. In the process she meticulously has analyzed the type of person I am and whether my choice of Courses and Institutions are actually relevant to my future career goals. After a thorough analysis she helped me pick the right mix of Universities keeping in … Read more
Coming from a non-STEM background, I was really nervous about my application for MS CS program. Unlike other services that just gives advice of what a typical MSCS SOP should look like, she really took time to understand my story and strategize the strongest way to present it while staying true to myself. I got admitted to my top choice at NEU without having to go through anymore prerequisites courses. Thank you!
I am working with Scholar Strategy (Nistha) on my MS applications for last 2 months. It was a pleasure to work with Nistha. She is quick in responding to my queries and have provided comprehensive guidance in writing SOP, resume and other necessary documents. She is always available on phone and emails and her tips have been beneficial.
I was skeptical about online counseling for my MS Application but finally I would say it is one of the turning points in my journey for MS applications. Nistha is an amazing counselor she understands the students really well. At each and every iteration I realized that my SOP and LOR are getting better. Everything was well planned. Nistha’s valuable advice has helped me get admits from top graduate schools and realize my dream.
It was really nice taking help from Scholar Strategy for admission counseling. Nistha had important points to suggest from the perspective of a person who has done her MS some time back. She was highly professional and the process starting from the first draft of an SOP to the final version was smooth. Thanks for helping me out and always following up before the important deadlines to make sure I was never late.
I will be graduating from Portland State University in 2018, completing my Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering – and I would like to thank Scholar Strategy for enabling me for a journey that I never planned to do. A little bit of history about myself, I was working as a Software Engineer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise for 2 years and there has been something constant throughout my time there – total dislike for the job and thoughts on how to get out it for good. Nistha played a piv… Read more
Nistha’s forte is understanding and looking at things on the lines of any US Adcom. So make maximum use of that! So the one important factor I considered while taking her services is that, unlike any other service provider, she is the one who does all the application related work all by herself. So with I guess almost 8 years of experience of doing this, she has seen many candidates so she’s now in a position to better say what’s expected of certain schools and that’s crucial since nothi… Read more
Data analysis is more important than just having the statistics. Consultancies have the data – the statistics about what range of scores maps on to admits in which school. But more often than not, the mapping gets highly nonlinear !.. ;( You could never quite guess where a student might end up by just looking at his or her scores because the student might have a great research profile or publications too (which count a lot, in addition to having good marks). Now this profile requires a smart an… Read more
