I’m genuinely grateful for Akansha Asthana ma’am and the role she played in my college journey. When I first started, I didn’t even know how the U.S. college process worked. I was confused about everything from choosing a major to understanding applications. But she guided me through every step with the sweetest attitude and so much positivity. I had no idea what I wanted to study, but she took the time to really get to know me,my interests, the subjects I enjoy, and what kind of future I see for myself. She didn’t just suggest options; she helped me discover my path. At a time when almost no one trusted my choices, she trusted me, and that made all the difference. Because of her support and belief in me, I ended up at a college I truly love. Today, I’m proud to say I hold a 4.0 CGPA, and I’m studying something that actually makes me happy,all thanks to her guidance, patience, and encouragement. Akansha ma’am didn’t just guide me through the application process; she helped shape my direction with kindness and genuine care. I couldn’t have asked for a better counsellor or mentor.

Akanksha has been truly instrumental in helping me secure admission to my preferred university. Her experience, clarity of thought, and attention to detail made a significant difference in shaping a strong and compelling application.

I was delighted to start my study abroad journey with Akanksha. I knew I wanted to pursue my Masters in Business admistration abroad but honestly I was very puzzled as to where to start the process from. Fortunately, my father had a contact in his cycling group via which I contacted Akanksha. I literally started my process from mid March and was able to receive my visa in July Start for the September intake. She made the process so easy for me guiding me through all stages like a true mentor and even used to address my queries on a timely basis. Honestly I did all things by myself with her being on my side all the time. I am blessed to find such an amazing person at the right time.

Akanksha assisted me in shortlisting universities based on my profile and writing a Statement of Purpose that was tailored to the university's requirements. She was extremely patient throughout the process and greatly aided me in understanding the requirements for each of the targeted courses.

My friend recommended Mrs. Akanksha to me for editing my Statement Of Purpose, and I am very glad I did. She maintained a really good relationship with me which helped me convey my ideas and shape the SOP. She patiently listened to me and worked in a very systematic manner by making versions of each draft which helped us go back to previous ideas and customize the document for each university. She also suggested me other potential universities based on my interest and field. She brought out the essence of my story which was essential to the Ph.D. programs I applied for. She corrected the grammar, embellished it with great vocabulary, and brought out the best. She trimmed down my SOP according to multiple university guidelines which took away half of my application stress! I got accepted to UIUC, Kings College London, CMU, University of British Columbia, RIT (All Ph.D. programs in Artificial Intelligence) to name a few of my top colleges. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling to create a story around their experiences! She can be blindly trusted with the most important application document!

#Honestyisthebestpolicy-I've known Akanksha since 2010 when I was in my BBA final year and was actively looking for overseas education consultants. From Chopras to IDP and from Study Abroad to Edwise I visited 'em all but was not convinced as consultants were only pitching me about the universities they'd tie-ups with and not what I wanted. I was fortunate enough that I randomly visited AEC (Akanksha's employer back in the day) and to this day after a decade I still have all praises for her. Akanksha was very honest and very clear about the services that she and her employer was providing and she mentored me by knowing my thought process and also guided me from where exactly should I apply without thinking about her targets and conversions. I wholeheartedly give a major credit for my academic success to this wonderful lady and I strongly recommend Akanksha as an asset then an employee to all her current and future employers. Thanks a ton, Akanksha!

Akanksha played a huge role in facilitating my journey to study abroad. Through regular updates and discussions she was instrumental in finding courses and universities that suited not only my interests, but also ensured employment. She is a great listener and has good insights about universities and colleges abroad. From sending my applications to the universities and keeping track of them to sorting my visa, she did all the hard work and secured a seat for me in a university first in Scotland (University of Glasgow, 2009) and then in New Zealand (Auckland University of Technology, 2014). Besides being very helpful and kind, she gave a sense of security with positive ‘can do’ attitude. I couldn’t be happier with the services she provided and would highly recommend her to those who need assistance to study abroad. Wishing her all the very best in her life’s endeavours.
