Testimonials

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
Sharan Subramaniyan, UIUC (Business Analytics)
I was pretty sure that I stand no chance of getting into a good university when I walked out of the GRE centre with a low score. But Nistha has proved me wrong!!. Nistha’s guidance has been more than valuable in writing SOP, LORs and listing Universities. She takes great care in reviewing documents and provides a candid evaluation. Her tailored counseling is what makes her successful. Thanks to Nistha, I find myself preparing to attend UIUC this Fall.

Surya Sumukh, Cornell (MS-CS)
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.
Maria (EECS) - UCSD, USC
The one thing common at all the top schools is a diverse student body. This is mainly because these schools dont just consider a GRE/GMAT score but look at the complete profile of the student before offering admission. You might be good and have a great score too, but unless you can sell that to the admissions committee, they won’t let you in. This is where I think students need to seek help if required. And Nistha is amazingly good at that. Having been a part of the committee, she knows what… Read more

Helps prepare high quality materials for admissions in a very short time.
Aketh, NYU (CS)
I found out about Scholar Strategy on Quora and immediately got hold of the book by Nistha. Once I had my scores in hand, I reached out to her for a feedback on my profile. And I am so proud of that decision. Nistha has been a delight to work with. Some people might be surprised with her approach as there is no spoon-feeding, however that is exactly what sets her apart and helps you attain your goals realistically. 🙂 I have had a wonderful experience and am thankful for all the guidance I … Read more
Kartika, U of Washington, RIT (HCI)
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
Priyasha, MIT SDM, Berkeley, Washington, MIS
I pinch myself from time to time to make sure that this isn’t a dream. Because CMU has always been my dream as far as I can remember and Scholar Strategy helped me achieve that dream. After talking to around 10 counselors in Delhi, a friend recommended Scholar Strategy to me. I was completely clueless and misguided. Nistha brought me on the right track and was straightforward to me about my chances. I believe in the saying ‘The more I practice, the luckier I get’ and so does Nistha. If y… Read more
Ashish, CMU, TAMU (MIS), Columbia Analytics
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.
Aditya Kapoor, Syracuse (MIS)
I would like to thank Nistha for her constant support during my application season. What I like about her is that she is very candid and straightforward. I drastically improved my SOP and it was UNIQUE. She always provided feedback which could really help see things which are usually neglected. I got good admits and in case I wish to go for further studies, I know i will get in touch with her.
Vinayak, Cincinnati (MIS)
