A friend recently asked me to brief him about the US admissions process. It was only when I recounted the things I had done in the past year to him, did I realize how daunting the US application system could be. There are so many small yet significant details that a student could miss out on. The unnerving essays to write that I could not have withstood without the brainstorming sessions at CollegeCore. As I followed CollegeCore’s simple and efficient step-wise process, I saw that I was always 2 steps ahead of other students in my class.
In 11th I had made up my mind to study in the US. At the time, seeing other people’s long CV’s made me wonder whether I had enough time to pull through to one of my dream colleges. I had multiple ideas that I wished to pursue simultaneously, but so little time. Had I not met Urvashi ma’am and Simerna ma’am at the start of 12th, I am sure I would have given up. But they really helped me streamline my thoughts, jotting them down in points, weighing the importance they would have on my application, and ultimately helping me build a strong application that got me into some of my dream schools, as well as the Trustee scholars program at Boston University.
Through the late night calls and the constant care and support, CollegeCore transformed the intimidating application into a fun and memorable process, and the essays into a means for honing my ability to express myself.
