From failure to dream success – Varun Agarwal’s story

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

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!

The personal chat helped me figure out how my SOP should look like. Nistha patiently reviewed all my SOP and LOR drafts with perfection. Most importantly, the SS community is huge, and there was always a senior to help me out with my questions, and interactive webinars were very helpful. I would like to thank Nistha and SS for helping me.

I had talked to a lot of counselors in Pune/Mumbai Area, before contacting Scholar Strategy. What impressed me most about Nistha, was her breadth of knowledge about Job Environment, Skills, MS Colleges and Masters specific knowledge. Being a past MS and MBA student, she has gone through the whole thing herself and really gives you insightful advice. Most counselors offer generic recommendation to all students but Nistha gives you a personalized recommendation based on your profile. She is very p… Read more

Working with Nistha has been a wonderful experience. It was due to her insightful SOP reviews that I was able to turn an average initial draft into a much more competitive SOP. The active Facebook community of Scholar strategy is an invaluable resource. Seniors provide advice and clear doubts on various topics like school evaluation, interview questions, job/internship/scholarship opportunities and VISA issues. More than anything else, Nistha really cares about your career and that is what sets … 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.

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

I received premium help, suggestions and important insights on essential editing of statements of purpose and letter of recommendations which is the most crucial part of applying to a foreign university. Kudos to the Scholar Strategy team!

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

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. see Divya’s blog on her late application here.
