Study in USA

Amidst the flurry of dilemmas and complex situations that the college application process threw at us, CollegeCore was always there to help us make informed decisions. In addition to helping with the administrative work required to apply to the US via CommonApp, I think CollegeCore was extremely impactful in helping me with my college essays and consolidating hours of extra-curricular work and describing them in mere 150 characters. I believe what helped me in achieving my goals was the individualized and personal help I received from CollegeCore. Accessibility, in terms of having the option to call them any day of the week or having regular group meetings with Urvashi Ma'am, was crucial in helping me stay in touch with my college application requirements and meet deadlines to the best of my abilities. I was really happy with the essay editing and ideating process. They helped turn around my essays, making them both grammatically and creatively sound. I was also very grateful to have edits made on my essays even after I missed deadlines and right before the application deadlines.

CollegeCore helped simplify a rather complex process of applying to a variety of universities, each with their unique way of reviewing applicants. Long college lists can be incredibly daunting at first, but CollegeCore streamlines the process of finding your perfect fit and then working towards presenting your strengths and potential in the best possible light. They excel in their level of engagement with each student. I spent hours debating potential colleges and majors with the team, analyzing even the smallest details. I'm sure all the debate and discussion ultimately led to an informed decision about applying to my dream universities.

CollegeCore has been the best help in my college application journey that I could ask for. I have found their advice and structured process to be the most efficient. As someone who required financial assistance to pursue undergraduate studies in the U.S., I had an additional pressure to make my applications perfect. They were instrumental in curating a perfect list of colleges for me to apply to, while keeping financial aid and scholarships as the top priority. They also provided me guidance to strengthen my profile. The most helpful part of my journey with Collegecore was all the help with the essays. Even though I was in a different time zone CollegeCore always ensured that effective communication was carried out. I am extremely grateful to Urvashi ma’am and her team for all the guidance throughout the process. CollegeCore deserves a huge credit in enabling me to attend my dream Duke University with a full scholarship!

Urvashi and her team work seamlessly. They bring amazing clarity of thought to the entire admissions process that translates into an ideal target list of colleges. They evaluate each student based on his/her requirements & provide customized advice while gently guiding the students towards fulfilling the requirements and admission deadlines. They were never overbearing & came across more like friends & mentors through the whole process. Bringing out the best in the child & helping him discover his strengths.

The majority of the credit for opportunities reflected on my CV is to CollegeCore. Registering myself a post-10th grade, they understood my strengths and weaknesses; understanding that the college process is based on mastering your strengths but also highlighting working on one's weaknesses. This core understanding, as belonging to the name 'CollegeCore', made it possible for me to get into UC Berkeley, my dream school since 9th. Their immense dedication to building their student's profiles is admirable. Even though we resided on two different continents, they made sure to never make me feel the time difference. The calls were focused on building my profile to shine out among many of my competitors. I was specifically impressed by their feedback on my business models- whether it was understanding the market or reading the 18 page long Business plan.

At first, the thought of applying to the US was intimidating, but Urvashi Maam and her team made the entire process so effortless. Over the years, they have understood me very well and have made me maximize my potential. Their in-depth knowledge and strategies of planning helped me manage my academics while building up strong applications. They helped me identify my strengths and perfectly laid down the path for me to follow. They would clear all my doubts, no matter how minor they were. The way they found a connection between my life’s experiences to the college-specific essays was remarkable. Their standards of working and the level of engagement in my life was phenomenal. Getting into some of the top-ranked colleges made me believe more in myself and my capabilities. CollegeCore fully equips you to be a competitive applicant to any college you apply to. I highly recommend CollegeCore to anyone who is looking to apply abroad!

While the College application process is a daunting one, working with CollegeCore made it not only easier, but also enjoyable. Urvashi ma'am and her team, not only guided me into taking up extra-curricular activities that helped me build my profile but also doing the ones that I truly enjoyed. Coming up with creative alternatives to rote activities, I was truly able to explore my capabilities outside the college application process and open up to new and interesting avenues. The crucial guidance I received from them during all steps of the process played an integral role in the creation of a successful application. Their willingness and patience to address my queries, no matter the time of day is something I am truly grateful for.

It has been a fantabulous journey with CollegeCore. The involvement of the counselors at every step just enhances the distinct vision that CollegeCore develops for every student. I am extremely thankful to Urvashi Ma'am and the entire CollegeCore team for their dedication and support, without which it would not have been possible for me to get through amazing colleges like UC Berkeley, NYU, and Ashoka University. From identifying the right colleges to building the perfect profiles and supporting me through the entire journey of college admissions, the entire CollegeCore team has been very dedicated and supportive. Kudos to the entire team and I recommend everyone to sign up for their services. 

I think that the most beneficial thing with CollegeCore was having an approachable associate counselor to whom you can ask doubts. Faster communication led to more work being done. Moreover, this also helped the counselor to get to know me better who was then able to guide me more effectively. A 'wow' moment was during the time I was writing my common app essay. Initially, I had been unable to think of a good idea or thought to write the essay on. Finally, we decided to write about a simple yet significant part of my life. After I had written and sent the first draft of my essay, I was slightly skeptical about the idea I was writing. However, once the edited version came back, I was amazed by the organization of ideas and communication of my thought that had taken place making the essay look splendid. The editor with whom I had discussed and finalized the topic had truly understood and incorporated my feelings into the common app essay.

Applying to college can be incredibly stressful. From shortlisting colleges, meeting the admission criterion, filling up applications, and writing essays to sending in the applications – the process is long and tiring but guidance, insight, knowledge, and support received from CollegeCore were invaluable in this entire process. Especially grateful for all the time given to making sure every application was the best it could be. We as parents feel very proud that our son will be able to attend his dream university. It was a stressful few months of concern, doubt, and hope. Our son would not be on this path without you and we are very fortunate to have had your help. Once again a big thank you - Urvashi ma'am, and the entire team. 

I joined CollegeCore as a confused grade 12th student during the final months of the college application. Urvashi Ma'am and her team helped me brainstorm essay ideas and choose my major. Their dedication helped me to overcome the challenges faced in the application process. They helped me with the nitty-gritties of suggesting activities, finalizing the activity list, etc. 

College Core helped us identify the colleges that best suited our son's goals as well as guide him through the whole experience. Ms. Urvashi and her team went way beyond what was required of them and their love for their work was reflected in them getting the job done with care and appreciation for every student. The regular zoom meetings and constant touch on the personal WhatsApp group were a massive advantage.  The whole college application process was made smooth and understandable, and most importantly, doable. Thanks to the input and excellent guidance of CollegeCore. Their exemplary professionalism and expertise guided my son through the successful process of college admissions. It was valuable, insightful, and encouraging to let them take the lead in this very important step of our son’s life.

Urvashi ma’am and her team were always just a call away. I used to call them to ask for the smallest of details and they were always there for me. My journey with them has improved certain skills of mine, writing in particular. CollegeCore helped me discover my strengths and make the best use of them. It helped me convey my thoughts amazingly through essays. My journey and experience with CollegeCore have positively impacted me and I’m sure it has built a strong foundation for a successful future. My wow moments were when they thought of creative ideas to take my talent ahead. For instance, they gave me the idea to publish my Mandala art book to showcase my interest in that field and organize a business competition in my city to express my inclination towards business and many more such suggestions. These small things really helped in making my application strong.

The sample resumes and applications that were provided helped me get a feel of the entire process. Urvashi ma'am and her teams' inputs helped me polish my resume, and their advice on how to present myself and my achievements helped my applications stand out, and get accepted at some of my top choices. Furthermore, their guidance in writing the essays, and how to make each of my traits stand out helped me get admitted to UIUC. When I used to compare my achievements to those of my seniors who got into some of the top universities in the world I thought that I could never get to that level. However, the counselors at CollegeCore helped me rediscover my potential. They provided me with many tasks like profile building and CV building which helped me re-evaluate my strengths and restored my confidence.
