Writing the SOP and getting recommendations were the 2 things I was overwhelmed by, and your advice really helped for both!

Testimonials

I would like to thank Nistha for her guidance and support during the application process. The brainstorming and one-one sessions were very helpful and I cannot thank Scholar Strategy enough.

Avinash, UMN EE

When I started with my MS application process, I was clear that I required a mentor, who would guide me through the process, and not someone who would give me a free ride to an average university and ask me to feel grateful for it. Nistha proved to be the best mentor I could hope for. I always had to be at the top of my game while working with her. Right from university selection, to drafting my statement of purpose and letter of recommendations, her valuable feedback helped me excel. Her fee… Read more

Yasho Vardhan, UMCP (MIS)

My tuition fee at John Hopkins MBA has reduced down to 20KUSD for two years, with 120K USD in scholarships. I still remember our first call (with Nistha). That was my first step to get started on study abroad dreams. I am so glad I connected with her. Thank you for the amazing guidance and tactical strategy for targeting the scholarship conversations with the admission committee. Amazing partnership ?

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

N Saxena, Harvard, UCSC (CS)

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)

Being an international student herself in the past, Nistha can understand the perspective of the upcoming graduate aspirants and help them accordingly. Every nuances of the SOP and LOR drafts gets thoroughly reviewed before being finalised and the IMAP session are great for career advise. I really enjoyed the overall experience.

Reet (CS) - UTD, ASU

Scholar Strategy is for people who are looking for a mentor and not a typical counselor. Working with Nistha has been great. She helps you come up with a unique story of your own for the SOP and this I believe is one thing that makes your application stand out. She was available on mails throughout the process, giving honest and practical suggestions. A special mention to our closed Facebook group called ‘Scholar Strategy gang’, this group’s peer-help has been amazing. Thank you, Nistha!… Read more

Suchitra, Syracuse (MIS)

Data analysis is more important than just having the statistics. Consultancies have the data – the statistics about what range of scores maps on to admits in which school. But more often than not, the mapping gets highly nonlinear !.. ;( You could never quite guess where a student might end up by just looking at his or her scores because the student might have a great research profile or publications too (which count a lot, in addition to having good marks). Now this profile requires a smart an… Read more

Supreeth Rao, WPI (Robotics)

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.

Sangram, TU Munich (CS)

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
