I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Surya for her exceptional guidance and support throughout my US MS admission journey. From shortlisting universities and preparing applications to SOP guidance, document preparation, and visa assistance, she guided me carefully at every single step. One of the most valuable parts of the process was the mock visa interview preparation, which greatly boosted my confidence and helped me approach the actual visa interview calmly and confidently. Her deep knowledge of the admission and visa process, along with her practical insights, made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. What truly sets her apart is her calm, patient, and supportive attitude. No matter how many questions or doubts I had, she was always quick to respond and ensured that every concern was resolved clearly and promptly. Her professionalism, dedication, and approachable nature made the experience extremely comfortable and reassuring. I highly recommend Surya to anyone planning to pursue higher studies in the US. Her expertise, commitment, and genuine willingness to help students succeed make her an outstanding mentor and guide.

I had an amazing experience working with Soorya for my US MS CS applications. From the very beginning, she explained the entire application process in a very structured and transparent way, including every step involved and how she would guide me throughout the journey. One of the things I appreciated the most was her honest evaluation of my shortlisted universities. I was quite nervous because I did not have a strong GRE score, but she carefully explained my chances for each university and guided me realistically. What impressed me even more was that her predictions turned out to be completely accurate. I received admits from all the universities I applied to. She also thoroughly reviewed every important document including my SOPs and LORs, and gave detailed feedback on how to improve them. Her guidance made a huge difference in the quality of my applications. The visa interview preparation sessions were extremely valuable as well. I was initially very nervous during the mock interviews, but she patiently helped me improve my confidence, structure my answers properly, and overcome my anxiety. Those mock sessions played a major role in helping me get my visa approved in the first attempt. Overall, Soorya is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and deeply understands the entire MS application and visa process. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning for MS in the US.
The best part of Soorya is she is very understanding and if I ask anything to her, she is always willing to tell me about that and if the topic is new then she does her whole research and help and support me throughout the end. I felt very safe, positive and confident with her. Thank you, Soorya.

Soorya was my counsellor for U.S. admissions and visa. Even after my U.S. visa got rejected, she stayed supportive and guided me step by step to apply for U.K. universities instead. Thanks to her, I now have both admission and visa approved. She really knows the process and makes everything clear. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone planning their study abroad journey.
