Testimonials

"Anita Ma’am was pivotal in my college application journey. Her guidance and feedback allowed me to hone-in on my strengths and write authentic essays. Most importantly, she was committed to my success and never doubted my potential. Anita Ma’am’s timely feedback, guidance and support helped me get into my dream college and navigate an otherwise stressful process with ease." - Pranavi S.

 - Denil T.

"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!!!)

"Working with Anita over the past year made a significant difference in how I approached the college admissions process. Her counseling was never about handing me answers. Instead, she constantly challenged me to dig deeper, reflect more and put in the extra effort to bring out the best in my work. She pushed me to play on my biggest strengths and use them as the foundation for every part of my application.

There were moments when finishing the applications felt like the biggest mountain in the world, but her steady support and thoughtful guidance helped me push through. From helping me build a smart and realistic college list tailored to my interests to shaping my essays through detailed personalized feedback, she guided me through every stage with care and precision.

What stood out most was how she encouraged me to think independently and take ownership of my decisions, which not only made my application stronger but also helped me grow as a person. Her support played a huge role in my successful admission to UIUC and I’m grateful for the clarity and confidence she helped me build along the way." - A.P.

"From the very first session, Mrs. Anita took a personalized and thoughtful approach to my application journey. Coming from an engineering background and wanting to shift to marketing was not a conventional route, but she made the transition feel achievable and purposeful. She helped me critically evaluate whether pursuing an MS in Marketing was the right step — and thanks to her guidance, I was confident in my decision to make this switch.

​

Personalized Guidance: What stood out most was how deeply Mrs. Anita understood my motivations and strengths. She never imposed her opinion — instead, she helped me articulate mine more clearly, pushing me to think about the bigger picture and align my choices with what truly excited me.

​

University Shortlisting & Application Strategy: She made me a part of the research process rather than doing it all for me — something I now realize was a game-changer. Mrs. Anita’s role was to refine my list, clear doubts, and match my preferences with realistic options. Thanks to this approach, I received admits from University of Texas at Dallas, Syracuse University, Loyola Chicago, and Suffolk University Boston.

​

SOP & Essays Support: Her SOP support was incredible. Mrs. Anita gave powerful tips on structure, tone, and storytelling while ensuring the SOP retained my voice. No matter how many iterations were needed, she was always available — whether it was late-night edits or a sudden new idea. Her input turned my drafts into compelling narratives that showcased not just my achievements but my journey.

​

Profile Building & Resume Advice: Beyond the application, Mrs. Anita encouraged me to take steps that added depth to my profile. She also advised on how I could take initiatives at my workplace to make my resume more impactful.

​

Support Beyond Admissions: What truly sets Mrs. Anita apart is that her support didn’t stop at securing admission. She offered practical advice post-admit — from connecting with future batchmates, finding accommodation, understanding academic expectations, to tips on standing out in class and adapting to a new culture. That extended support made the transition less overwhelming and more exciting.

​

Final Thoughts: To any student (or parent) reading this — I can confidently say that you’re in safe, capable, and caring hands with Mrs. Anita. She’s always available, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success. Her blend of empathy and strategic thinking made all the difference in my journey, and I’m grateful for the role she played in helping me reach where I am today.

​

Highly recommended!" - S.S.
