Testimonials

  • I can't say enough good things about Priyanka's approach. It was so worth having our two oldest work with her. She totally took the stress out of the applications process. I don't know how she's able to keep them so focused while equipping them both to come through the college applications process with a sense of authenticity - a total relief for us!

    ~ Jenny F. Mom

  • My sessions with Priyanka have made the college applications process much less stressful! Before our sessions, I was completely unsure how to write a compelling college essay. I was nervous to share my work with someone I'd never talked to, but she was kind and easy to communicate with. Our meetings were always chill and laid back, and she offered insightful feedback that has help me create applications that stand out.

    ~ Meredith S. Student

  • I worked with Priyanka for about 6 months as she taught me SAT-specific test-taking strategies, how to decipher supplementals so that we could figure out what each college was asking, and helped me brainstorm & edit my college essay. Throughout all of this, we had a very casual vibe and working with her was always fun!

  • Priyanka has a special way of easily communicating with parents and teens. She is able to calm nerves by explaining the process and expected results and focusing the students on timelines, requirements and realistic expectations.

    My teens were able to accomplish their applications timely and without having to hear their mom nagging them. Priyanka was able to keep them focused and on point. She communicated easily at a level and tone they were able to ‘hear’. She worked with them making it all feel unforced and stressful, while keeping them accountable for timing. Additionally, Priyanka helped them improve and focus on the essays.

    My twins each received acceptances to schools on the top of their match lists, so to me, this was a highly effective process.

    ~Mary B., Mom of twins

  • Priyanka has been a lifesaver for our family. As first-generation immigrants, navigating the college applications process was overwhelming. She’s incredibly approachable and she made sure all applications & financial aid forms were submitted before the deadlines. We’re immensely grateful for her positive and practical guidance.

    ~ Garima A.

  • When I realized that my niece needed help with her college search and applications, I hired Priyanka to guide her in the process.

    My niece lives many states away but through Google Meet and Google Drive, they were able to get through the process of applying to 10 colleges. I was able to follow the process the entire time through the Drive.

    Priyanka kept my brother and me well informed of their progress and kept us on track with the financial aid applications process. Priyanka was willing to help on all fronts, and both my niece and I enjoyed working with her. For me, it was nice to entrust this job to someone else, so I didn’t have to be the taskmaster, and for my niece it was helpful because Priyanka also helped her manage the stress that comes with this weighty process. I feel Priyanka’s services were a good value and certainly worth my investment.
