MCS admit from UIUC

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.

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.

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

Thank you so much for guiding me through the applications. Without your guidance, I might not have applied to CU Boulder and definitely would not have gotten through. I am happy to share that I got through Google, Amazon, Salesforce and Spotify for my summer internship.

Got accepted to the MSCS program at TAMU. I just want to thank you for all the wonderful support that you’ve given me throughout the application process. I know that without your help and support this would not have been possible.

Nistha is very professional in her approach. Genuinely interested to help you to present your best aspect. She directs and helps you to think hard about why do you want to pursue the program – this makes your SOP original and not inspired from hundreds of SOP templates out there. Dissatisfied with multiple consultancies in past, I was very skeptical before joining Scholar Strategy, but a conversation with Nistha and her straightforward nature, convinced me to sign up – I am glad I did. I got an … Read more

Nistha’s valuable advice has helped me get admits from good grad schools. She is very strict and straightforward which I like most about her. She helped me with brainstorming sessions, regular document review and genuine feedback. She has made my profile strong with her expertise. I started very late for my SOP’s and LOR but she gave right amount of push and strict deadlines which helped me a lot. I am thankful to her and recommend others to join Scholar Strategy if they are planning to stud… Read more

I can’t even begin to fathom how crucial a role Nistha played in getting me an admit from one of the biggies in the world! I must admit I was totally clueless as I started off with my preparations for masters in US. I had parts of my application ready but I was still not able to glue them together in order to impress the admission committee. So I started seeking for a mentor – not the crooked local ones but an authentic reputed counselor who would give decisive opinions and statements about … Read more

The honesty with which the SoPs were reviewed was refreshing. The best part was, I was still writing each word of the SoP on my own, with the best possible feedback I could have gotten. It’s the way its supposed to be. Also, the insight Nistha offered to help me in selecting the right schools to apply to was invaluable.

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
