JULY 2012: I was a naïve high school senior, preparing myself to traverse the road towards my dream colleges. A huge mountain of nerve racking SATs, irksome essays and tedious application forms stood in my way! Fortunately, it was at this juncture in the college admissions process that I was introduced to CollegeCore and to the able guidance of Urvashi Ma’am. From that point onward, my whole perception of this ‘mountain’ of college apps changed from that of an ‘insurmountable hike’ to one of a ‘comfortable cakewalk’!! The prompt email replies, the useful advice on the phone and on Skype and the timely and frequent meetings with ma’am gave me an impression that I was not one of many students, but rather the only beneficiary of her guidance. Things felt streamlined and organized. By motivating me to stay ahead of schedule and helping me troubleshoot the most innocent or abstract of queries CollegeCore allowed me to perceive applications as an important, yet distinct and non-intrusive part of my hectic grade 12 workload .The assistance with essays and interview scheduling was also greatly appreciated. All the efforts put in by CollegCore bore fruit this March, when I got acceptances from my top dream colleges. A BIG “THANK YOU”, Urvashi Ma’am!!
