Nistha is undoubtedly the best at what she does. Unlike most counselors who work on a copy-paste strategy, Nistha provides a great user experience, helping you craft a unique coherent story for the admission essay/SOP. She pushes you to think outside the box, something no other counsellor can do. She ensures that you apply to the best schools, providing constructive feedback for every choice.
In summary, Scholar Strategy is the Bee’s Knees. Thank You Nistha for being awesome.
I had talked to a lot of counselors in Pune/Mumbai Area, before contacting Scholar Strategy. What impressed me most about Nistha, was her breadth of knowledge about Job Environment, Skills, MS Colleges and Masters specific knowledge. Being a past MS and MBA student, she has gone through the whole thing herself and really gives you insightful advice. Most counselors offer generic recommendation to all students but Nistha gives you a personalized recommendation based on your profile. She is very patient and listens to all your doubts unlike other counselors who give you a fixed time/slot. Also, she forces you to go deep about your profile/achievements/goals while writing SOP, which makes your unique story come out in the SOP. Without a doubt, I would recommend Nistha to everyone.
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.
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 of people, where we can help each other to scale even greater heights in our careers!
Thank you so much for your help during the initial phase of the journey. It helped a lot in the way I explore and articulate about myself. It is definitely going to help me for internships and jobs in future for sure.
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.
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.
I would like to thank Nistha for her constant support during my application season. What I like about her is that she is very candid and straightforward. I drastically improved my SOP and it was UNIQUE. She always provided feedback which could really help see things which are usually neglected. I got good admits and in case I wish to go for further studies, I know i will get in touch with her.
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.
