Class of 2017

Working with Ms. Gupta really helped me to plan out my college application process in an easy and efficient way. Meeting with her every week helped me to stay on track and make sure that I had everything finished before the deadline. She helped me map out exactly what I wanted in a college and helped me pinpoint which colleges would be the best for me. Ms. Gupta was very prompt when it came to answering questions and helping me edit my college essays. Through google docs, she would comment and edit to make sure that I emphasized the important aspects of my personal statement. At the end of the college acceptance process, I had numerous college’s to choose from both in-state and out of state, including the UCs, and private colleges. I really enjoyed working with her and I am thankful for the all the effort she put in to help make my college application process easier.

I am a 2017 high school graduate who is excited to be starting her freshman year at Santa Clara University. My family had hired Ms. Gupta during my senior year as a college application counselor. 

I feel Ms. Gupta did an exemplary job in helping me finalize my college list and helping me apply to colleges. My parents’ main concern at the time was making sure that I apply to colleges that suit me the best. Ms. Gupta helped me out a lot in this aspect by getting to know who I was and giving me advice on what kind of colleges would suit me. 

I believe Ms. Gupta is much better than all other college application counselors because of the effort she makes to bond with the student.  I felt very comfortable with Ms. Gupta. She was much more understanding about my preferences than my own parents. She genuinely cares for our success and is honest in her inputs. If she believes someone is not qualified for a certain university, she does not hesitate to mention it. I admire this quality about her.

Even after the sessions were over, Ms. Gupta repeated contacted me to see how I was doing. She also wanted to know whether I had gotten in where I wanted. This made me feel that she is genuinely concerned about the success of the student and she puts her heart into making sure that we succeed. 

In conclusion, I feel Ms. Gupta is someone who helped me a lot in the college application process.
