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 different aspects of my application.

Nistha fit the bill quite well. She is always available over email for any doubts or clarifications and the phone calls I had with her were super helpful!

I want to thank you Nistha for all the support and motivation that you have given me. My University of Illinois Urbana Champaign – Data Science dream wouldn’t have been possible without you.

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

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

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.

Lalith, SUNY Buffalo (MS CS)

I pinch myself from time to time to make sure that this isn’t a dream. Because CMU has always been my dream as far as I can remember and Scholar Strategy helped me achieve that dream. After talking to around 10 counselors in Delhi, a friend recommended Scholar Strategy to me. I was completely clueless and misguided. Nistha brought me on the right track and was straightforward to me about my chances. I believe in the saying ‘The more I practice, the luckier I get’ and so does Nistha. If y… Read more

Ashish, CMU, TAMU (MIS), Columbia Analytics

I had quite an unconventional background after my engineering and I was not sure how I was going to approach my applications to universities. Nistha guided me through the process and gave me clarity as to how I should prepare my file. She also reviewed my SOP and provided valuable insights that finally resulted in making my case as compelling as possible, which I believe played a crucial part in the final admission. Apart from all this, joining scholar strategy makes you part of a great network … Read more

Sharan Subramaniyan, UIUC (Business Analytics)

I found out about Scholar Strategy on Quora and immediately got hold of the book by Nistha. Once I had my scores in hand, I reached out to her for a feedback on my profile. And I am so proud of that decision. Nistha has been a delight to work with. Some people might be surprised with her approach as there is no spoon-feeding, however that is exactly what sets her apart and helps you attain your goals realistically. 🙂 I have had a wonderful experience and am thankful for all the guidance I … Read more

Kartika, U of Washington, RIT (HCI)

Nistha was introduced to me by a friend. I trusted my friend and have never looked back. Nistha is very professional and supportive. She has vast experience and transparency. If you are looking for honest advice and are ready to work hard, she can be a go to person to navigate you through the tedious process.

Sahil, Columbia MSBA, TAMU, CMU, Washington (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)

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)

I initially decided that I would go ahead with my applications without a counselor as it proved to be quite futile when my elder sister used it. But after perusing through Nistha’s answers on Quora and the articles on her blog, I decided to go ahead with Scholar Strategy without a second thought! I was really impressed with her structured procedure throughout, which also comes from the fact that she’s been through this herself (a rarity among counselors!) She was very pragmatic with her suggest… Read more
