Towards the end of my first semester junior year, I started working with Namita on my College Apps. She was pivotal in keeping me on the right schedule, and ensuring my work was of the highest standard. She had a lot of knowledge on how to navigate the whole college application process for both me and my parents. Her help with essay writing cannot be understated. She helped pushed me to try new/further activities like student council, which had more benefits than just college apps. While she was quite strict, she also took the time to get to know me and engage in conversions. I would recommend Namita to anyone that needs a college counselor.

I was a bit late in working with a college counselor though through my senior year, Namita helped me with my college essays as well as ways to build and strengthen my resume in the span of a year and a half. I was able to get one on one help on my essays as well as receive very constructive feedback from her which helped me get into many of the universities I wanted to get into.

Namita was instrumental in guiding, developing, and preparing our son for the increasingly complex and competitive college admissions process. As most parents of teenagers realize, the ‘parents know best’ messaging to our children, is not always the most effective, and can be drowned out. Having Namita as an objective and independent voice/mentor was truly a differentiator for our son. Her ability to connect with our son, her action orientation, and her lessons in personal accountability, all contributed to our son gaining admissions to his preferred school – Northeastern University. Namita is a subject matter expert in the ever-evolving landscape of college admissions and provides guidance that is relevant and pertinent to the current landscape. For parents looking to give their children every advantage possible, I highly recommend Namita.

We were introduced to Namita Gupta in 2020 through a good friend, at a time when we realized we were already late in securing a counselor—our eldest was well into the second semester of sophomore year. Having recently migrated from India, navigating the U.S. high school system felt overwhelming, making the need for expert guidance even more crucial. From the very beginning, Namita has been an exceptional counselor, providing invaluable support not only for our first child but also for our second. Her deep knowledge of the Cupertino high school system, curriculum, academic competition, college admissions process, and major selection has been instrumental in shaping our children’s educational journeys. Beyond her expertise, Namita has been a constant source of practical advice and encouragement, always keeping my wife and me on track with timely suggestions and guidance.

I worked with Namita for a few years, including my junior and senior year of high school. I will admit that sometimes it feels intimidating, and there is a lot to do, but this helped me a lot in building a resume that I could present for college applications. Namita is one of the best counselors I’ve worked with and she will definitely guide you on how to go about your 4 years to make the most of it while still enjoying high school years. I would highly recommend her. Good luck to future classes!

Namita did a wonderful job guiding our Junior as he prepared to apply to a number of schools in California. The competitive landscape for applicants can be overwhelming. She aided him in determining how to best utilize his time so he felt confident, prepared and organized. Not only did our Senior get into all of his Early Action schools, he received multiple merit scholarships. We would not have navigated this process without Namita’s guidance and support. We look forward to our Sophomore daughter working with her in the future!

Namita was extremely helpful in guiding me through the college application process! She provided straightforward feedback and recommendations to ensure I created a strong narrative that effectively presented myself to colleges. Additionally, during the college application season, she was constantly available for support when needed, proving regular and timely feedback on essays and ensuring I managed my time effectively. Thanks to her guidance, I have now ended up at my dream school, Cornell University.

Namita is great!! I worked with her every week my first semester senior year and she was so supportive the entire admissions process. I ended up getting into my ED, dream school, Columbia University. She even helped with the entire process afterwards, and I navigated the entire admissions process stress-free, focused and relaxed because of our sessions! I would recommend her service if you want someone to keep you on-track, motivated and get the admissions you want 🙂

Namita was very helpful throughout my college application process. She got to know me and my interests and helped me plan courses, volunteer work and activities starting the summer before my Junior year. At the time, I did not appreciate how useful some of these things would be, but really helped round out my essays and applications when the time came. Later, she helped me identify colleges that might be a good fit, guided me through the application process and gave me feedback on my draft essays. I applied to a number of schools that I thought would be good options, some of which I had not heard of until I researched them at the suggestion of Namita. Overall, I had a good experience and recommend Namita.

Throughout writing my essays and selecting which colleges to apply to Namita was always there to help and guide me. I was able to get essay revisions and help very often from Namita which helped me a lot during the college process. She knew a lot about specific college and how to tackle certain prompts. With the help of Namita, I was able to be accepted into one of my top choice colleges for CS.

Namita was a great help throughout our college application process journey. She was totally transparent and always to the point. While guiding my son through the process, she helped him dig deeper and bring out all the experiences that were forgotten and locked somewhere deep in his memory. Namita’s guidance, in addition to his passion for running, grades and scores, were a a big factor in my son getting into his dream school. Thank you Namita for all the help we received from you.
