As I neared the end of high school in Dubai five years ago, I brimmed with ambition for college but found myself hopelessly lost and without direction in the admissions process. As my counselor, Navin Valrani guided me through each step of my college applications, offering sharp clarity to seemingly opaque questions about my “fit” with the colleges I applied to. Navin helped me weave my years of schooling together into a well-rounded candidate profile that foregrounded my past experiences and research questions and looked beyond just test scores. With a keen eye for detail, Navin also focused extensively on my prose in my application essays and helped me convey my ideas in a succinct but compelling manner. Navin’s unflagging support throughout and even after the application process gave me the confidence I needed, and with his help, I was able to land an acceptance at my dream school. The students that Navin advises at Arcadia Education are, without doubt, in the best possible position to face the rigors of college admissions and gain acceptance at the best schools in the world.
