  • "We were at the corner of college application season, and because of some personal circumstances, were unable to properly dedicate time for the essays. This is when we came to know about Sowgandhi’s college advising help. We soon got in touch with her and scheduled the introductory call. Within the next few weeks, we were able to complete multiple essays and submit them in time, thanks to her immense help."

    — Ravi, a parent of a Georgia Tech Class of 2024 student

  • "Sow is great! She worked with me on my transfer application essay. Even with the intro call, she gave me several pointers to look out for in my essays, which in turn helped me write a stronger essay before our first review. Her edits were detailed. Would definitely recommend!"

    — A UC Berkeley Class of 2022 Transfer Student

  • "My daughter started taking Sow's creative writing workshops since 9th grade. She's in 11th grade now, and ready to tackle the college essays on her own. If you're on the fence of whether to go ahead, I would say just do it. It'll be one of the best investments you've made."

    - Michelle Lee, a parent of a writing workshop student of 2 years

  • "Our family friend told us about Sow as she had helped her daughter in the previous college admission season. After going through several college essay preparatory centers and their sky rocket fees, we decided to go with Sow. She is a very spirited and respectful lady who you can trust with the college admission process. Thanks Sow for helping my daughter feel confident in her writing ability and for proofreading her work."

    — Natasha, a parent of a Brown University Class of 2025 Student

  • "Sow worked with two of my children on their college essays. They connected very well with her from the initial brainstorm sessions to the final draft. She was able to draw out a unique and strong story about each of them and helped them tell it from their perspective. I could not be happier with the end result with one child going to University of Wisconsin Madison and the other going to Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. I would like to further add that Sow coached my son with his Letter of Continued Interest for Purdue Engineering. He was admitted off of their waitlist even though they are known to not let anyone in off of it."

    - Nadia Seitz, a parent of two recent college admits
