Empowering Dreams, Guiding Futures

I wouldn’t even imagine getting nearly this far without Aakriti ma’am and Ayush sir. From being the first one in school at 5 am to missing their Diwali and winter break to go over our applications, they’ve always led by example and inspired me to do my best. They didn’t just give me detailed feedback on my essays but also made me laugh when I was at my lowest and made sure that I was in a comfortable environment. They haven’t only counselled me for college but are my mentors for life. Somehow they managed to make the stressful college app season one of the most fun and memorable times of my high school journey. They’ve taught me how to dream big while being the guiding light for those dreams. Thank you Aakriti ma’am and Ayush sir for helping me grow as a person, I am eternally grateful for y’all.

Watching my daughter Anoushka navigate the college application process was both thrilling and daunting until we met Mrs. Aakriti Periwal. Over the past two years, Aakriti’s unwavering support and expert guidance have turned Anoushka’s dreams into reality. She didn’t just help with applications; she empowered Anoushka to discover her true potential.

Aakriti’s personalized approach, from selecting courses to perfecting essays and interview preparation, was invaluable. Her dedication went beyond professional duty; she became a mentor and a friend, instilling confidence and clarity in Anoushka every step of the way.

As Anoushka prepares to embark on her journey to NYU this August, our hearts are filled with gratitude. Aakriti, your belief in Anoushka has opened doors to her future, and for that, we will always be thankful.

Aakriti ma’am is the kind of college counsellor and mentor who pushes you to heights you didn’t know you could scale. She not only encourages you to aim for the stars but also empowers you with the courage and capability to turn those dreams into a reality. Every weekend, every holiday, she chooses to spend poring over each component of your applications to ensure that it represents the best and most authentic version of you to universities. She believes in you on days even you couldn’t and pushes you to grow as a student and a person in ways you couldn’t have imagined. Because of Aakriti ma’am’s constant guidance and support throughout the college application process, I was able to get through several of my top choice universities, including Princeton, Yale, Columbia, UPenn, & and CMU SCS, among others. Her time, effort, and expertise are invaluable additions to your college application, but more than anything else, the way she invests herself in you and your goals is something special beyond compare and that I truly believe you cannot find anywhere else.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for Aakriti Ma’am’s unwavering support throughout my journey. Your trust in me, down to the smallest details like a comma in a sentence, has empowered me with confidence and responsibility. Moreover, your presence has been exceptional in guiding me during times of stress, always there to provide reassurance and calm.
Your dedication to my growth and well-being has been truly remarkable. From the early mornings at school to sacrificing your holidays to assist with our college applications, you’ve led by example and inspired me to strive for excellence. Your belief in my dreams, even when they seemed distant, has propelled me forward, and I am eternally grateful for your guidance.
It’s incredible to reflect on how far I’ve come since I first envisioned my goal of getting into JHU two years ago. With your invaluable help, what once seemed like a distant dream has now become a reality. Thank you once again, Aakriti ma’am, for everything you’ve done for me. Since before and beyond, I am forever grateful to have you as my counselor and mentor.
