Navin Valrani was amazing at helping me with my application, he was realistic about where I could get into but also had optimism and was always able to keep me in good spirits when I was feeling stressed. He considered where I would be happiest yet intellectually stimulated. Navin Valrani takes his time to get to know who he is working with, their interest, personality, and what academically is suited for them. He knew that I would not be a good fit for schools that were highly competitive and instead I suited schools that had a more collaborative culture and he was so right. Unlike other counselors, Navin looks at students as people rather than scores and grades, working with him is inspiring. When you work with him, he dedicates himself fully to his students to the point, he makes time to be available not just for applications but for overall support throughout the process. Navin knows the culture at different universities and when creating a list of schools to apply to he is very methodical and works with students, and doesn’t force his opinion, it’s a collaborative process. He knows how to match students with schools they’ll be happy at, which is truly important. I owe a lot of my success to Navin.
