Nistha is very critical with the SOP and the LORs. She pushes students to get the best out of them. This might sometimes suggest hectic and students might feel that whatever they’ve already written would be enough. But, trust me, Nistha knows what is correct. She has been in this industry for a quite a while now. Nistha pays a lot of importance to the fact that the overall profile including resume, SOPs and LORs are an important aspect to the college application. Merely having a good GRE/TOEFL w… Read more

Tushar Krishna, CMU MISM, Dartmouth MEM

I have worked with Nistha on my MS applications for last 3 months. From day 1 she is available on phone and emails. She reviewed my SOP, resume and other documents thoroughly. All her suggestions have been beneficial to me. Thank you Nistha, for all the guidance you have provided to me.

Sumanth Yella, USF (MIS)

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

Vinayak, Columbia, Gatech (MFE)

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 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

Mohnish Prasanna, CMU (IS)

My experience with Scholar Strategy was life changing. Nistha made me realize my true potential and I was able to get into some of the top Universities in the world. Having worked with a different counseling agency before joining Scholar Strategy made me realize how different Nistha’s approach is and what I liked the most is the timely manner in which everything is taken care of, starting from school selection to SOP and LORs. I feel the one on one conversation I had with Nistha motivated me a… Read more

Ankan, UIUC, PennState, VT (Aerospace)

After a disappointing application cycle for Fall 20 where I received rejects from all of my preferred universities, I reached out to Nistha and team for help for my Fall 21 applications. From the get go, the process is so streamlined and smooth. I received emails about next steps and how to go about everything. Nistha is very focused and has the ability to find notice and point out even the most minute details that make a huge difference in the quality of me essays and applications. The di… Read more

Rishabh (CS, MIS) - Berkeley, UW Madison

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)

At Waterloo, apart from an initial first term scholarship of $1800, I got TA which pays my living expenses for almost 4 months (~$3500). Last but not least, I am very thankful for the help and guidance throughout my application process. It was invaluable. My initial and final statements were miles apart in quality. Same with my LORs.
