The admission process to colleges in the United States is neither predictable nor easy. To remain on track and understand some of its most relevant intricacies, one requires two things: guidance and fortitude. Individual effort by itself is a rudderless ship; one must be able to target that effort on specific tasks at specific times to ace it, and that needs guidance. A rudder. Urvashi ma’am and the College Core team were that rudder. Over a year and several meetings, what we established was a clear quid-pro-quo; I put in my share of work, and the team puts in theirs to ensure minimal wastage. Countless essay edits, frantic phone calls and a dozen acceptance letters later, I can confidently recommend the this consultancy to anyone.

Colleges where I was admitted: UC-Berkeley, Claremont McKenna, WashU (Olin), Rice (50% merit scholarship), UCLA, Wesleyan, UNC Chapel Hill, UCSD, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Santa Cruz (Regents), UIUC
