Testimonials

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 thi… Read more

N Saxena, Harvard, UCSC (CS)

When I started with my MS application process, I was clear that I required a mentor, who would guide me through the process, and not someone who would give me a free ride to an average university and ask me to feel grateful for it. Nistha proved to be the best mentor I could hope for. I always had to be at the top of my game while working with her. Right from university selection, to drafting my statement of purpose and letter of recommendations, her valuable feedback helped me excel. Her fee… Read more

The best part about Scholar Strategy is “No Spoon Feeding”. You get to write your SOP in your own words unlike other consultants. Nistha’s suggestions and subtle changes have increased the quality of SOP significantly. She is frank and never hesitated to tell her if something is not going well. I got to learn a lot from her through this experience. Thanks a lot. ?

Sumanth, USC, CU Boulder EE, VT MEng

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.

Yash, NYU (MIS)

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 !

Akash, Georgia Tech (ECE)

I dropped a year due to health issues and used that time to prepare for Masters in US. But this year gap was increasing and joining Scholar Strategy was a wake-up call. I was totally confused regarding the course to pursue and Nistha made it clear to me. She showed me the path to identify my passions. And from there on, the sail was smooth. The timely facebook posts, quora answers, her book, the presentations and the feedback on my documents are very valuable for me.

Rex, Wisconsin, USC (CS), UVA DS

Nistha helped more than the SOPs and LORs. It is very reassuring when you start applying to this year long process to have someone at your side on who is competent enough for the job of guiding you. Mind you, it is all your hardwork do not expect miraculous results if you don’t put much effort. Nistha helps put what’s on your mind in a better and impactful way, rest of the thought process is with you.

Sangram, TU Munich (CS)

Enrolling with Scholar Strategy made all the difference, it was the same profile as last year.

Somesh (Prod Mgmt & Design) - Gatech, Berkeley, Dartmouth

Previously while going through the website and the testimonials, I found that everyone had a good word to lend about the SOP reviews and honestly I was tad bit skeptical as it seemed too good to be true. I always thought I’d write a great SOP by myself if I set my mind to it, but never actually would have come anywhere close if Nistha’s detailed and pointed review was missing in the process. I believe the standout aspect of her approach is that she points you in a direction where you have to mov… Read more

Karttik, CMU MSISPM, TAMU MIS

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
