"I vividly remember the struggle of navigating college applications after giving my GRE. With so many consultants in the market, it was overwhelming to identify someone who could offer genuine, personalized guidance, beyond simply applying a standard template or copy-pasting an SOP. Each statement of purpose is unique, and I wanted mine to reflect my individual story.

For months, I searched for the right counselor, and that's when I came across Anita B Natarajan. From our very first conversation, I knew I had found the right mentor. The session began with me narrating my journey for over an hour, and she listened patiently, without judgment. My profile had both strengths and challenges, and my goals were unconventional, but she understood and embraced that.

From crafting a compelling resume to helping me articulate a strong SOP that highlighted my strengths and addressed my weaknesses with honesty and clarity, Anita Ma’am guided me every step of the way. Thanks to her support, my SOP was ready for applications to top universities. I can confidently say that you can trust her completely, this comes from someone who spent months researching the right mentor before finding her.

Beyond the application process, she has continued to be a guiding force in my journey, from transitioning from industry back to academics, and from India to the U.S. Even today, she remains my go-to person for career and academic advice.

Thank you so much, Anita Ma’am, for your unwavering guidance and support!" - Vedika A.

(Note from Anita: Vedika's hard work and accomplishments have led to her being only 1 of 2 people globally working on bleeding edge research in her area of interest - I am so proud of her!!!)
