I reached out to Ishan for my son. I did not go to university here and wanted to get some professional help. He really helped him come up with his story and choose colleges outside of CA that matched his interest.

Ben proofread my resume and cover letter for a job in Management Consulting. He made formatting and style changes and the work was completed promptly (24 hr) and with quality. I recommend Ben to others looking for this service!

Ishan is awesome! He helped us figure out our extracurricular story, brainstorm essays, and ultimately apply to college. Any 11th grader or parent should reach out.

I started working with Ishan during my junior year of high school. Ishan really helped me to get out of my comfort zone to get involved in things I never would have considered. That gave me a much better perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. When it came to essay editing, we worked together to make sure that every sentence was my own, so that I could show as much of myself as possible to the schools I was applying to. If you're wondering about how effective the process is, I would say that I accomplished more than I expected and got into schools that would have been out of my reach otherwise.

I signed up for Ishan during 11th grade, and I'm so glad I did! I had straight A's and strong extracurriculars, but I had no idea how to write my essays and stand out in the college admissions process. My college counselors and Ishan helped me develop a theme and write focused, specific essays that made me sound much stronger than I would've without their help. I got accepted to most schools that I applied to, and I will be attending Cornell next year and couldn't be happier!

I was blown away by the care and commitment shown by Ishan. I was freaking out halfway through the process but he was always available via email and prepared very well for our meetings on Skype. It was so convenient and I'd say one of his most useful tools was his collection of past successful essays. He had comments and analysis on why they were good. It really helped me improve my own work.

I wanted some guidance on law school applications and how to make myself stand out in my law school essays. Working with Ishan was extremely helpful- he not only helped me make my essay sound much better, but he also helped me decide what topics to write about and how to structure my ideas. He also helped me create a list of safety, target, and reach law schools to apply to. He definitely made a stressful process much more manageable for me!

Alex is an excellent MBA consultant. He is an attentive, responsive, honest, reliable and talented writer. I decided to apply to an unusually wide range (~10) of schools within a few weeks of the R1 deadlines. Given my limited budget and the number of schools I was applying to, I asked him to help primarily with my essays (as opposed to the full package). Alex was very understanding and helped me develop a plan that fit within my budget and timeline. At every point in the process, I felt that he prioritized my applications and made himself readily available. He knows the admissions process thoroughly and helped me develop a narrative around my personal and professional life to highlight all of my unique attributes. He is also an excellent writer and helped me adjust my writing style to get all of my key points across more clearly and efficiently. As a testament to his excellent guidance, I was accepted into my top choice program (after being waitlisted and subsequently denied the year prior)! Highly recommend.

Ishan was friendly, helpful, and made sure all my questions regarding the college application process got answered. Unlike other services, Ishan stays with you throughout the entire college process, right until you finalize what college you want to attend. I would recommend this service to any high school student and parent!

Andrew was a pleasure to work with. I approached him specifically with the intent on preparing the best letter of recommendation prep material. He showed me how to provide detailed stories from an external perspective that were easy for my recommenders to synthesize and incorporate in my letter. This was an absolutely critical step in my application process and Andrew calmly and expertly navigated me to get the best letters of rec.
