Interview – How Facebook Intern spent her first year in Grad School

I opted for counseling from Scholar Strategy primarily to select a college that suited my individual and technical needs. Nistha was a great help being open to any discussions and she focused over my particular interests. Her technical experience in the same field helped me better. I can say Scholar Strategy did great for me.

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

After a disappointing application cycle for Fall 20 where I received rejects from all of my preferred universities, I reached out to Nistha and team for help for my Fall 21 applications. From the get go, the process is so streamlined and smooth. I received emails about next steps and how to go about everything. Nistha is very focused and has the ability to find notice and point out even the most minute details that make a huge difference in the quality of me essays and applications. The di… Read more

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

I am really thankful for your help with my SOP. I am not planning to apply to any other programs since UW program was my first choice. I will be sure to share a good word with prospective candidates who reach out to me.

‎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.

The time I approached Nistha, honestly I was skeptic about my profile and admission prospective. Due to tight schedule at job, I couldn’t do much justice to my Gre score and was pretty late for my application process(December). But following Nistha’s guidelines, I have been able to crack seven universities as of now which includes TAMU(for comp engineering). Best part of scholarstrategy is Nistha will make you work on your SOP/Profile in a manner that important aspects of your profile are well h… Read more

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

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.

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)]
