I know that coming from US undergrad, I had advantages over many other students. But, I wouldn’t have received these results without your counseling and all the information I got from Scholar Strategy. You really pushed me to get the best out of me when writing my SOP and resume! I look forward to paying back by contributing to the Scholar Strategy community in the future. I first discovered Scholar Strategy through a friend in HK. She is from India, and she told me she heard great things a… Read more

I was a mid-career professional in my early thirties when I started my journey with Scholar Strategy (SS). Tired with the monotonous job, and frustrated with corporate politics, I was probably going through a ‘mid-career’ crisis, not really sure where I wanted to go. This is when Nistha came to my rescue and trust me she is the best counsellor I have ever had in my life! Having spent 12 years in IT industry, I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to do an MBA and that’s when Nistha helped me f… Read more

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 … Read more
Akhil, MSIM (UIUC)
I opted for counseling from Scholar Strategy primarily to select a college that suited my individual and technical needs. Nistha was a great help being open to any discussions and she focused over my particular interests. Her technical experience in the same field helped me better. I can say Scholar Strategy did great for me.
Avirek Ghatia, NYU Poly (MS CS)
I was skeptical about online counseling for my MS Application but finally I would say it is one of the turning points in my journey for MS applications. Nistha is an amazing counselor she understands the students really well. At each and every iteration I realized that my SOP and LOR are getting better. Everything was well planned. Nistha’s valuable advice has helped me get admits from top graduate schools and realize my dream.
Sahil Nyati, CMU (MIS)
It’s not about getting low or high GRE and TOEFL score. It’s about the complete profile. Walking out with low score from centre disappointed me but Nistha’s guidance in making strong SOP/LOR/Resume made me eligible for getting into good universities. She is the only one who actually knows what admission committee needs. From start to end she was very handy and quick in evaluating profile and making it strong. As I can see student with more than 300 score in GRE got rejection from NEU, BOSTON. Bu… Read more
Rohit Agarwal, Northeastern (MIS)
Nistha is a wonder woman. She is committed to your success so all I ask of you is to trust her process, and commit to it too. From the first conversation I had with her, she has been candid in helping me plan my goals and ensured that I put my best foot forward while crafting my story. There were times when I felt under-confident but Nistha’s coaching expertise, widespread student/professional network, honest feedback and focused approach instilled the confidence I needed. I highly recommend eve… Read more

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

Enrolling with Scholar Strategy made all the difference, it was the same profile as last year.
Somesh (Prod Mgmt & Design) - Gatech, Berkeley, Dartmouth
The best part about Scholar Strategy is “No Spoon Feeding”. You get to write your SOP in your own words unlike other consultants. Nistha’s suggestions and subtle changes have increased the quality of SOP significantly. She is frank and never hesitated to tell her if something is not going well. I got to learn a lot from her through this experience. Thanks a lot. ?
