I am grateful to CollegeCore for their indispensable assistance with my college application, especially in getting into Brown University. The most enjoyable aspect of my experience was the counsellors’ customised advice and expertise (my grade 11 counsellor throughout the profile-building process, my grade 12 counsellor throughout my senior year and application work, Urvashi ma’am who always believed in me and especially the editorial team led by Smita ma’am for bringing out the best in my essays). In addition to demystifying the daunting application process, the personalised attention and insightful guidance I got gave me the confidence to portray the best version of myself to colleges.
Unlike several other counselling services my friends join, the CollegeCore team always pushed me to test my limits, whether academically or in extracurriculars. I remember applying for the Head Boy position in school even though I wasn’t confident, only because the team pushed me to and eventually ended up being elected. Moreover, the team was just a call away, no matter the time of the day and was never shy to help, creating a very friendly and safe environment and genuinely bonding with the student and the family.
