Who We Are
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Where are you located?
Our HQ is Kolkata, India, but our advisor team is located in the US and India. In our experience though, we have found that it is much easier to meet remotely so that the application process does not become a bigger burden for you or for the student!
-
Where are your numbers? The kind that every essay advisory service seems to publish on their page...
Let's just say that we strongly believe in the maxim - what's gotten you here will not get you there! Every student is unique and us trying to fit their story into a template that was used by any of our past students is bound to fail! We've worked to tell compelling stories for enough students and have gotten them into top 50 universities, whether in-state or out-of-state.
-
I'm only applying In-State/I'm not applying to Ivies. Do I still need you?
Irrespective of where you're applying, the pool of applicants is only getting stronger with each passing year. Further, almost all colleges use college application essays to award scholarships. Therefore, it is important that you push your application to its highest potential!
-
Do you write the essays for the student?
We don't cut corners. We don't slack off. And we don't write the student's essays. We will brainstorm with you, help you select a topic, handhold you to make your story more compelling, edit your work, and help you unearth the story that's hidden inside. But the essays have to be written by the student.

-
How long does it take to complete the essays?
Good things take time. Great things take a little longer.
Writing outstanding essays is a process. Even with our help, you can expect multiple drafts, and several rounds of back and forth between the stages of our process (find us an author who completed their bestseller in one draft and we'll give your money back!). The time taken to complete the application depends on various factors such as the length of the essays, the depth of the experiences, and most importantly, the student's ability to reflect and write. We appreciate your understanding on this. -

When we say we meet you wherever you are, we mean it. We do not believe in force fitting your requirements into a standardised package simply because it is easier for us.
