โ€ŽNistha 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.

Nistha is an awesome person. Always up to help you and guide you. Thanks Nistha for so many SOP reviews. I don’t think, it would have been possible without your help and guidance.

Most of my friends initially suggested not to join scholarstrategy and instead join some local consultancy as they felt this was not a proper one. But after going through the services you offer, reading your answers on quora I felt that scholar strategy is way better than other consultancies who lack basic knowledge. Though some may argue that the methods employed at scholar strategy were little bit different but I personally am very satisfied as this is what I was looking for instead of someone writing my sop.

If there is anything that differentiates scholar strategy from others it is the sop reviewing process. Initially even after writing gre I was not very clear about my choices but the phone call session and the comments and questions that you asked while writing sop made me contemplate about it.

One more thing that I really like about the whole process is your honesty and admitting that dont know about something instead of giving some random advice. Also I found the other members of the group to be very friendly,insightful and helpful.

P.S: I know that you asked for few lines but I guess I should still learn to prioritize after all.

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 this herself. You’re in good hands – she’ll make sure you’re on the right track! ๐Ÿ™‚

Nistha is very smart and she knows what she’s doing. She’s always available on mail for reviews and other questions as well. I think if you’re looking for a counsellor, she’s one of the best! [Admitted to Columbia (MSEE), Dartmouth (MEM), USC (MEM), Duke (MEM), TAMU (MIS), UMCP (MIS), UIUC (MSTM)]

Sheelabhadra, TAMU (MS CS)

Got accepted to the MSCS program at TAMU. I just want to thank you for all the wonderful support that you’ve given me throughout the application process. I know that without your help and support this would not have been possible.

Yasho Vardhan, UMCP (MIS)

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 feedback was instrumental in highlighting the strengths and covering up the weaknesses of my profile. It was a bliss to see so many admits at the end, with University of Maryland, College Park being the silver lining.

Her help did not end just there. She also guided me though the I20 and Visa application process, and made it very easy for me.

I certainly could not have completed my application process so well without her help.
She is certainly an expert in bringing out the best from any profile.

I highly recommend Scholar Strategy to all those who aspire to study in the US. Their help will surely be invaluable.

I received premium help, suggestions and important insights on essential editing of statements of purpose and letter of recommendations which is the most crucial part of applying to a foreign university. Kudos to the Scholar Strategy team!
