“Next fall, I will be attending Columbia University. Aunty Reva has been extremely kind, caring, and proactive throughout the entire college application process. She always had many creative ideas to help me take my activities one step further. In her eyes, seeing me succeed doing the things I was passionate about was most important, and her constant encouragement was extremely helpful. Aunty Reva, thank you so much for believing in me and for your wholehearted support!”
- Diya, Columbia University

“Reva aunty’s way of looking at colleges is unique in that her focus is more driven by how happy a student would be at a given school than by how well it would allow them to do in life, professionally speaking. Watching her own daughter thrive and be happy at college makes it easier for Reva aunty to prioritize her students’ happiness over all else. When I was doubting my decision to ED2 Pomona, Reva aunty dissuaded me from ED-ing anywhere I wasn’t a 100% content with. When I was struggling with my college essays reading as genuine enough, she knew me well enough to help judge that. All-in-all, she made the entire process less stressful and more enjoyable, as it should be. As I write this from my dorm room at Brown, I realize that Reva aunty’s guidance was an indispensable one.”
- Aditi Marshan, Brown University

“This experience was so helpful and I’m incredibly grateful that it allowed me to get into my top choice university! Revathi aunty is extremely efficient and I loved the fact that she was always available, would revert to emails within an hour with feedback. She is willing to help you work on essays for as long as you need and will continue to edit drafts until it is perfect. I was extremely lost and her ideas gave me clear direction for my essays and the overall theme of my application. I would recommend seeking her help for a smoother college essay writing process!”
- Aanika Maghnani, Emory University

“Revathi aunty is a very approachable person who is always ready to help with the stressful college applications process. She always responded to all my questions promptly and was ready to talk whenever I was in doubt. Her knowledge of the admissions process is impeccable and extremely helpful.”
- Ayush Aggarwal, University of Cambridge

“Revathi Aunty is extremely approachable and has helped me at every step of my application. She is extremely focused and took time to understand my background, interests and gave support and guidance in choosing universities and colleges. What I like the most about her was her extensive knowledge and insight into how to make an applicant stand out. Whenever I had a doubt during the application, she’d be one call away, always ready to help. She advised and helped me to conduct a lot of extracurriculars and research projects which made my application unique. She also helped me edit my essays so that it reflects my personality. Initially I was extremely overwhelmed by the application process but she made it extremely comfortable and simple to understand. She is more like a friend to me, someone who is always there for anything that bothered me. I would definitely recommend her services as a college counsellor”.

Feedback from happy parents

"From the beginning of the college application process, Revathi has been a rock solid support for us. She took deep interest to understand my son’s profile and interests, to guide us with the right choices. Starting with building my son’s resume, her guidance has been extremely valuable at each and every step of the process. Her experience in this field and passion to help was crucial for our son’s success in getting admissions to multiple colleges with scholarships. Her timely follow-ups and actionable feedback was simply superb. Throughout the whole process, there were so many last minute requests and questions from us, which she answered back swiftly. It’s been a privilege to have had a counsellor such as Revathi, who thinks of the child as her own and guides so passionately, towards his/her goals."

“Revathi makes your child her own. She becomes totally invested the student’s future goals. She has been a pillar of support in every way as my son navigated his way through college applications and preparation for college. From selection of colleges, to making decisions about type of applications, to masterful contribution to essays, to maximising the application document, Revathi has guided us every step of the way. She knows the minutest of details about the application process, and she took the time and effort to learn about my son, his strengths, and his interests. We have turned to her expertise, her confidence, and her acumen repeatedly. She is always available and accessible to answer and guide us through all the stages of the process. Today, my son has been offered multiple undergraduate college admissions with scholarships in USA. I know this would not have been possible without Revathi’s commitment to his future success. Having Revathi as our Counsellor, guide, and friend has truly been a blessing and a privilege.”

She helped redefine our college choices and gave ideas to make a good profile. A big thanks to her. Ananya got into NYU Stern, her home for next 4 years.”
- Shuchi Jain (mother of Ananya Jain, NYU Stern)

“We are deeply appreciative of all the help we received from you during the course of admission process of our daughter Shayna. Your early insights on the preparation tools, what colleges are looking for, how different students stack up and even how to build the resume have been valuable indeed. Your constant follow ups and inputs through the process came in at the right time and in right doses.   You have been absolutely professional in your approach and attitude, with very quick response time especially when Shayna would send you queries really last minute. You have been very encouraging of Shayna’s potential and have helped her clear her mind on how to approach an essay – taking her thought process, debating it and helping her meaningfully construct it into a good quality essay.  Suggestions on colleges and courses, prep for interviews, and sharing your own experiences all were very important ingredients in this process.  Thank you for looking after each child like your own and thank you for helping Shayna reach for the skies.”
- Gesu Kaushal (mother of Shayna Kaushal, University of Chicago)

“Revathi is not only a Counsellor but also a coach who is completely vested in the students she works with. She has the ability to push the right buttons, uncover strengths even the student or parent didn’t know existed and creates a confident child who is ready to take on the world. She provides the guidance while fostering independence and without creating a crutch.
Thank you, Reva. You have been amazing.”
