Jain College Consulting

"We proposed that our son work with Jyoti to help him in the college application process. Jyoti has worked diligently and professionally to keep our son on task and focused on the key deliverables required for timely application. She was flexible with her schedule and organized a team approach that kept everyone rowing in the same direction, even through some rough water. Regardless of the results of his applications (which we currently await), we know that Jyoti helped our son perform his best and submit his best effort for which we are very grateful. Thank you, Jyoti!"

"Working with Jyoti was even better than expected. She helped our son through all the college application rabbit holes with tireless patience and support. She promised me she'd get him "to the finish line" and did, with flying colors. He was accepted to nine of his eleven choices. Jyoti's amazing. Worth every penny!"

"Jyoti was the best! She helped my son write a college essay for a particular college he wanted to get into. She had the best insights on how to improve his essay and her suggestions were very very good, allowing my son to write a really great essay that he was proud of, in his own voice. In addition, she was very supportive, encouraging, and beyond helpful, making the process that much easier. She was just what my son needed, and I highly recommend her!"

"We worked with Jyoti on college counseling for our son, who is headed to college this fall (Fall 2020). We also have an elder son who finished his undergraduate studies last year (Spring 2019). Jyoti worked with our son to understand his personality, academic interests and extra-curricular activities in depth. This formed the basis for her research on different schools for him. She also educated us (parents) on the whole application process, required financial commitments, and what to expect at each stage of this process. Jyoti's suggestions on the reach, target and safety categories of schools were on the mark, including some that we were not aware of, but which in the end turned out to be an excellent fit. For the applications, Jyoti was guiding our son regularly on his main and supplemental essays. She would first brainstorm the topic and relevant ideas about each essay before my son wrote the first draft. She guided him to think for himself and maintained "a healthy distance" such that his voice clearly came out through the essays. She also showed us how to track each and every deliverable that is part of each school's application. Jyoti also gave us tips on what to do / look-out for when visiting prospective schools. Finally, her inputs on selecting the final school amongst the ones our son got admitted to were invaluable. Having worked with different college advisors, the striking aspect of Jyoti's work is her focus on understanding the student's personality and on the student in all aspects of the application process. Because of her efforts, our son ended up receiving admission to a larger number of schools, as well as to his dream school! We are quite thankful to have worked with her during the last year or so."

"My son wrote his essay for a scholarship which I thought was pretty good. Then we asked Jyoti for help and I'm so glad we did. I was amazed at the insights she had to really make his essay personal. She spent a lot of time helping him dig deep so that his essay really reflected who my son is. The difference between the "before Jyoti's help essay" and "after Jyoti's help essay" was beyond compare. She was even able to combine her perfect grammar with my son's writing style so that it still maintained his voice. Working with her has been such a pleasure. She is kind, caring, patient, and encouraging. She was able to get the best out of my son because he saw that she was genuinely interested in him and helping him reach his goals. Her passion for helping others really shines through. I wish I could give her 10 stars."
