Priya K., Saratoga, California: "Shveta was wonderful to work with during my son's college application process. Her engineering background meant she understood his interests in STEM fields and helped him identify programs with strong research opportunities. She was incredibly organized and kept us on track with deadlines, breaking down the process into manageable steps. Shveta's experience volunteering at Prospect High School gave her great insights into the local student profile and what Bay Area colleges look for. Her guidance on building a balanced college list that included both reach and safety schools was invaluable. Thanks to Shveta's support, my son was accepted to several excellent engineering programs."

Deepak and Anjali M., Cupertino, California: "Working with Shveta felt like having a trusted advisor who genuinely cared about our daughter's success. As a first-generation college family in the U.S., we appreciated her patient explanations of the admissions process and financial aid options. Shveta helped our daughter showcase her strengths in both academics and extracurriculars, crafting essays that felt authentic rather than formulaic. Her analytical approach to college selection helped us evaluate schools based on fit, not just rankings. Shveta was always responsive and provided practical guidance, making the entire process less stressful. We're grateful for her expertise and personalized attention throughout this journey."
