When you're striving towards a goal in this case, going to your dream university in USA-I think that you have to put everything on your side to succeed. And for me, working with Ms. Anjanita is definitely one of those decisions!

Before working with her, I remember being unsure and confused while filling my common app or starting my essays. I did not know if whether or not I was going in the right direction or showcasing my best self in my application.

Working with her removed a whole lot of, if not all of the confusion! We went through all the sections of the common app together and knowing that she had been through the process countless times, I did not have to worry anymore about incorrectly filling it.

Coming to essays, for each new essay, we brainstormed potential topics together until we arrived at ‘the one.’ Her comments after each draft made me understand what impression they would leave on admission officers and adjust accordingly. When I was stuck on how to improve my essays or had doubts on anything else, she never hesitated to schedule a meeting to help me out.

Acceptance letters came flocking in from UCLA, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, UC Davis, Northeastern University, and culmination point, one of my dream universities Wharton, Upenn! When I opened my acceptance letter from Penn, I was overjoyed! Ms. Anjanita was one of the first persons I texted and as we talked, what really warmed my heart was that I could truly feel that she was extremely happy for me as well.

I’m extremely happy to be part of Penn’s Class of 2024! Looking back, I’m grateful that my path and that of Ms. Anjanita crossed because I know that she helped me get the very best out of myself during the whole application process and this very best made one of my dreams come true.
