About

Services

I am an independent education counsellor, guiding students and professionals who wish to pursue their postgraduate studies at foreign universities, especially Ivy Leagues. I offer both online and offline consultations to applicants all over the world.

I mentor candidates to:

Dream – Identify their ideal future career, education and life goals 
Plan – Chart a path aligning with their interests and find the best-fit universities, countries and course
Act – Build a holistic profile and curate a standout application 
Achieve – Gain a platform for the rest of their life 

I aim to understand the applicant’s long-term plans, identify the right program, countries and universities to fit those goals, and then strategically build the right profile to give them the best chance of gaining admission into their desired program.

Over the duration of our engagement, I advise students on academic aspects such as subject and project choices, as well as non-academic aspects such as internships, research projects, extracurricular activities, etc., to demonstrate a relevant interest in their desired field of education as well as gain an edge.

As part of this process, I also help applicants with their end-to-end applications to study abroad, starting with counselling them on various course and career options across different countries and then making personalized applications for the selected universities.

My services range from one-time consultations, and profile building over multiple years to end-to-end application assistance.

Testimonials

From my time at OnCourse Vantage

Collaborating with Meenal throughout the application process was a positive and enjoyable process. Coming from a family business background, with an undergraduate degree in business, she helped me fine-tune my profile to demonstrate the technical skills required while applying for Master’s in Business Analytics. 

Paying attention to the specific requirements of each program I was applying to, she meticulously refined numerous iterations of my resume and essays to suit each program. As I approached the final stages of the application process, her dedicated assistance with interview preparation enabled me to confidently showcase my abilities. 

Meenal handheld me every step of the way and played a crucial role in crafting my application to bring out my strengths and experiences. Despite working together virtually across different time zones, our interactions were seamless and highly productive. Meenal’s meticulous attention to detail and insightful feedback, even on the minutest of aspects, enabled me to fine-tune my application to perfection and made the entire application process smooth and easy.

When I decided to pursue an MBA, I evaluated many counsellors. From the start, I knew that ASU was my top choice and was convinced I wanted to study there. Unlike other counsellors, Meenal didn’t dissuade me to apply there, rather helped me present such an exceptional application that I got a 100% scholarship in my preferred university.

Given her domain knowledge and prior experience in finance, she helped me come up with differentiated goals and suitably highlighted my work experience. Her understanding of US B-schools and what they are looking for in candidates, enabled me to add key missing pieces to my candidature and present a well-balanced application, highlighting different aspects of my journey. 

I never had to think twice before reaching out to Meenal, whether it was an application query or just moments of self-doubt. From refining a narrative, articulating it effectively within word constraints, or preparing me for interviews, she worked incredibly hard to bring out astonishing results. Her continuous encouragement to challenge myself beyond my limits throughout the engagement was admirable and helped me achieve my dreams.

Prior to engaging with Meenal, I was uncertain about which Master’s program to pursue – whether in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or Data Science. Additionally, I lacked clarity on which country would be the best fit for my applications. Upon meeting Meenal, she assisted me in identifying a Master’s program that aligned with my career preferences and guided me in selecting universities and countries based on my life goals. She provided specific insights into various universities, including their curriculum and admission criteria, and helped me curate a well-rounded list of colleges to apply to. Meenal supported me at every stage of the application process, from strategically selecting recommenders to refining my resume and essays, preparing for interviews, and ultimately submitting my applications.. Thanks to her guidance, I successfully secured admission to my dream program.

Meenal was instrumental in guiding me through every step of the college application process, from clarifying my career goals, selecting the right colleges to preparing for interviews. As an architecture student aspiring to pursue a master’s degree in Design and Technology, I initially worried that transitioning to a different field might complicate matters. However, Meenal’s expertise not only eased my concerns but also enhanced my application by showcasing a well-rounded skill set.

Working closely with Meenal, I was able to create a compelling profile that effectively highlighted my background in architecture and professional experience in design, positioning me as a strong candidate for any program. In a competitive admissions landscape, Meenal’s assistance proved invaluable, helping me present the best possible version of my profile to prospective universities and get multiple acceptances from top design programs.
