Real Stories, Real Results
“Working with Gurkriti was genuinely one of the most impactful parts of my high school experience. Even during periods when I struggled with senioritis and motivation, she consistently encouraged me, believed in my potential, and pushed me to produce work that reflected my abilities. Her guidance helped me bring out my best, and my college application essays became something I was genuinely proud of, to the point that my admissions officers even reached out to tell me how exceptional my essay was. Beyond her expertise, what made her so special was how invested she was in my growth and how she always made me feel capable of achieving more. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Hi, my name is Eleftheria and I worked with Ayesha from 2023 until 2025. I ended up getting in to 9 schools in the US out of the 11 I applied to: USC, UCLA, University of Michigan, Northwestern, Georgetown, Duke, UPenn, Dartmouth and Brown. Ayesha was so incredibly helpful in advising during the application process, from small things like formatting my activities list to helping me reframe my essays as well as being honest with me when an idea was not going to work. One thing that worked well for me was her counseling style, meeting me where I was as opposed to being too firm on one specific style of writing or super tight deadlines, as this let me flourish myself with the added help. I am very grateful to have had her as my counselor!”
“Ayesha's feedback made my essays feel more vivid and personal, as though she understood the memories or vision I was writing about firsthand. She knew exactly which questions to ask to uncover the details and qualities that made my story unique, and helped me connect those strengths to the universities where I would be a good fit. With her guidance, I was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania, Michigan State University Honors College, and Northwestern University where I currently double major in economics and journalism. I'm so grateful for her support and for the confidence she gave me in my own voice.”
“I was working with Ms. Ayesha Siddiqui throughout the last two years of my high school, and I'm incredibly grateful for all the guidance and support she gave me during that time. From the very beginning, she helped me navigate different parts of the college application process and made sure I was making decisions that were right for me. She worked with me to find extracurriculars that genuinely matched my interests and helped me build a strong, authentic application. She also gave me detailed but concise feedback on my essays, personal statements, and other parts of my application, which made a huge difference in how I presented myself. With her guidance, I was fortunate enough to be accepted into Boston University, UC San Diego, UW–Madison, and UC Santa Cruz, and I was also waitlisted at UC Berkeley. More importantly, throughout the process, Ms. Ayesha was always there to help me work through different challenges, answer my questions, and give me honest and thoughtful advice.”
