Girija’s guidance was instrumental in my daughter’s acceptance to Georgia Tech’s undergraduate program in BioMedical Engineering. Girija’s feedback on her essays led to many rounds of impactful changes while still retaining her personal characteristics. She understood my daughter’s strengths and aspirations and worked within that. Though she advised my daughter as a favor to a friend, I feel it was more than what a professional counselor could have offered, not to mention the very tight timelines she had to work within.

Navigating the college application process can be overwhelming, but Girija has a unique talent for helping students craft a compelling and authentic narrative that truly reflects who they are, not just their achievements. She helped put together a college list that fit me, and guided me in reflecting on my values, framing essays authentically, and staying organized—all with a calm and supportive demeanor that eased my stress.

Girija was incredible throughout my entire college application process. She developed a detailed, methodical system that took into account all the factors I wanted in a school helping me narrow down which schools to apply to. She also helped me brainstorm essay content that would paint the most compelling picture and then spent countless hours refining the content until it was perfect. Finally, her tracking system with clear timelines ensured I submitted all my applications easily and with time to spare.

Girija’s guidance was invaluable to me during my graduate school application process. She provided pointed feedback with an eye for both detail and the overall narrative, along with quick turnaround time and a willingness to give feedback through multiple rounds of edits. With her support, I was admitted to Cornell’s MS program in Computational Biology, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking expert college admissions counseling.
