Surabhi spent the last seven and half years as an entrepreneur running her own boutique political consulting firm. She always knew she wanted to attend graduate school in the United States, and had her heart set on attending the Harvard Kennedy School. She had applied to graduate school at MIT once before, but she was not accepted. When she decided now was the time to apply again, Surabhi knew she needed help if she wanted to get into her dream school.
Surabhi did a lot of her own research before she reached out to us. She said, “I didn't want to go into the process of applying to a U.S. school without knowing what is expected of me. I liked your honesty and the genuineness with which you portrayed the process.”
Surabhi and her husband joined a Breakthrough Call where she discovered what The Art of Applying® could offer, and what she could bring to the table. Surabhi said the Application Accelerator® program gave her the tools and community she needed to complete her applications. The weekly Q&A sessions, the Writing Center, the Test Prep, and the weekly calls with her consultant held her accountable while also inspiring her.
“My consultant has possibly given me the most important gift through this entire process… She gave me confidence,” Surabhi shared about her experience.
Surabhi said her consultant helped her understand her own story. She reflected on crafting her story, “How does my story matter and how can I make sure somebody else knows… that these are my aspirations and I belong in the class.”
Surabhi was concerned about the cultural differences when it came to applying to graduate schools in the United States as an applicant from India, but said The Art of Applying® put her at ease.
“I made the decision to apply, to do it in the best possible way and I think it became a little easier knowing that I'm making such a big investment,” she said. “This investment you're making to work with The Art of Applying® will probably come back to you in double, triple returns and that happened for me.”
We are excited for what lies ahead in her journey. Congratulations Surabhi!
