MEM admit from Duke

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

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

Being an IT guy, it was very difficult for me to set aside some time and prepare my SOP. I approached Scholar Strategy and spoke to Nistha. She was very helpful and came up with a plan that was tailor made. All her SOP reviews were to the point and insightful. Fall 2015 was crazily competitive and I’m sure Nistha’s guidance palyed a huge part in me secure an admission.

I was skeptical about online counseling for my MS Application but now I am happy that I took a leap of faith by using ScholarStrategy. Nistha doesn’t spoon-feed you with SOPs and that’s not a bad thing because it is your story and who can tell it better than you. She makes suggestions and edits until your essay conveys exactly what you want to. When I started my essay I was clueless, but when I completed it, I was happy that I am presenting myself in the best possible way to the admissions co… Read more

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 !

The USP of Scholar Strategy is no doubt the story building emphasis that Nistha has for your SOP. Her structured approach to the SOP and helping out with examples for sections where improvements were needed really helped me in preparing a SOP draft which improved leaps and bound over my first version and something I was finally satisfied with. Her past experience with successful applicants also made me confident of her review of other materials. I believe, anybody wanting to refine their SOP and… Read more

Coming from a non-STEM background, I was really nervous about my application for MS CS program. Unlike other services that just gives advice of what a typical MSCS SOP should look like, she really took time to understand my story and strategize the strongest way to present it while staying true to myself. I got admitted to my top choice at NEU without having to go through anymore prerequisites courses. Thank you!

SS helped me a lot during the application process. In addition to the help provided by Nistha, the SS community added more value to the package.

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.

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.
