Testimonials

Working with Nistha has been a wonderful experience. It was due to her insightful SOP reviews that I was able to turn an average initial draft into a much more competitive SOP. The active Facebook community of Scholar strategy is an invaluable resource. Seniors provide advice and clear doubts on various topics like school evaluation, interview questions, job/internship/scholarship opportunities and VISA issues. More than anything else, Nistha really cares about your career and that is what sets … Read more
Aditya, Duke, UMass Amherst (MEM)
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
Akhil, MSIM (UIUC)
I am happy to share the news that I have been admitted to the MS in Business Analytics program at the McCombs school of business, University of Texas at Austin 🙂 With multiple brainstorming sessions and tremendously detailed evaluations, Scholar Strategy provided me an exceptional service which was worth every penny.
I can’t thank Nistha enough for the help and guidance with the SOP and LOR!
Sadavath Sharma, UT Austin (Business Analytics)
Nistha really helped me get the best SOP out there, with every iteration that we went through. I being a reapplicant realized how coherent and concise my words looked, after the final version was approved. From shortlisting universities to mentoring as to which one we should join, Nistha has been a great mentor.
Kamal, NCSU, CU Boulder (CS)
Nistha’s forte is understanding and looking at things on the lines of any US Adcom. So make maximum use of that! So the one important factor I considered while taking her services is that, unlike any other service provider, she is the one who does all the application related work all by herself. So with I guess almost 8 years of experience of doing this, she has seen many candidates so she’s now in a position to better say what’s expected of certain schools and that’s crucial since nothi… Read more

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 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.
Ishan, UCSD (CS)
Really stoked about this. Thanks for all your help. The SOP really worked for this particular program’s objectives.
Mohonish, CMU MS SE
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
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
