Namita Gupta played an integral role in helping me successfully get through the daunting college admissions process. From helping narrow down my list of colleges to guiding me through the essay writing, making sure that my true character shone through, she ensured that I presented the best possible version of myself to each and every college. Moreover, she did so in a way that was always kind and thoughtful, and never overbearing – in fact, my voice became clearer and more refined in my writing after implementing her suggestions. Thanks to Namita’s help, I was admitted to several elite schools and look forward to attending an Ivy League institution in the fall.

I will be the first generation in my family to attend university in the U.S. so I was very confused about the application process and afraid that I would not be able to make the right decision for my future. Thanks to Namita, who helped my with everything that I needed and went through this complicated process with me. Her help and advice along the way really made my life much easier. I was very unsure about what colleges and which major I wanted. After many deep talks with her, she helped select schools that would fit for me thoroughly. Also, she always encouraged me to think (about) what I really want and respected my choices. She is a very responsible person (and) would make sure I have done everything on time. My experience with Namita – very satisfying, Without her I would not be able to go through the entire process by myself and present the best of me to colleges.

I just wanted to thank you for everything and for pushing me to be productive!! I’ve gotten into 5 colleges now! Thank you so much, I couldn’t have done it without you.

Once Junior year wrapped up, I thought I could finally sit back and relax and not worry too much about school for the summer, but I was proven wrong. All of my friends were talking about how they were already getting started on college apps and I started to freak out. However, Namita was truly my knight in shining armor. We got started on my apps early on in the summer before the Senior year and looking back now I am very grateful we did. Senior year goes by in a blink of an eye and so does those dreaded college deadlines.

Namita understands how “busy” we teenagers are and yet she managed to keep me on top of everything. In total I applied to 14 colleges, all early admissions and by time “crunch time” came by for the regular applications, all my friends were stressing out and I was already hearing back from some of my schools. As well as making sure I had everything done on time, Namita was very fastidious when it came to my personal statements. I knew every time that I was going to submit a draft to her, there would be an ample amount of room for improvement. I ended up getting accepted into colleges I never thought I could because of her attention to detail and her perfectionism.

Namita made me apply to colleges that I had a good shot at getting into. I’m glad I got to work with Namita because I would never have applied to the University of Pacific without her. She told me I should apply there and after getting accepted to UOP urged me to visit the campus. I ended up falling in love with the campus. She would always respond to my emails, and we would meet weekly. Overall, she is a great college counselor!

I was quite unsure of where and how to start the entire college application process. But after we started having regular sessions, I was able to create a certain vision for myself regarding my ideal college. Your constant help and guidance led me to produce outstanding essays I am very proud of and during this process, I also discovered myself a bit more. I am extremely content with my college decision. Your feedback for the Essays I wrote was very worthy and helpful. Thank you for the constant support!

Thanks for keeping me on top of my applications and explaining to me how the colleges will evaluate my activities. I was able to prioritize which was a huge help in creating strong applications.
