I believe in bespoke at its best. Customized to the core. I work with a limited number every year. So, if you're with me, you're part of a lucky and select few. I don't outsource you to any junior counselor. It's just you and me. Period. That's my commitment to your success.
I have always believed in excellence. Voted Top 30 Scientists Under 30, Published a paper that was called Breakthrough of the Year, I let my work speak for itself. Having served on 4 US admissions committees, I know exactly what it takes to succeed. I ensure you strive for the same kind of excellence.
It is ridiculous to have 1 million people applying to the same 30 colleges. I get to know my students individually over a period of time to identify the best fit universities for each one. It's match-making at its best. Like a seasoned Indian aunty, only a lot cooler and more modern.
Every fingerprint, every snowflake is unique, and so are you! So why average yourself out, or dumb yourself down? I work hard to ensure we bring out your quirks, your weirdisms, that make you, you.

Dr Alok can make even the most boring piece of writing interesting, fun, and very very intellectual. He actually worked with me to write an entire essay in Iambic Pentameter. And he has a wicked sense of humour. When I got into College, the acceptance letter had a hand-written note mentioning how good my essays were. This Bootcamp is your magic potion!
This bootcamp with Dr Alok has changed my life. The most important thing I learnt is that writing is not just writing, it is strategic communication. He took the time and dug into my life. He made me think hard, ask critical questions, participate in fun exercises, and portray my strengths and challenges in a way that presented my life in the most interesting manner. If you miss this bootcamp, you've pretty much missed admission into your dream college.
Alok is a bloody genius. He takes garbage written by high-schoolers like me and turns it into pure gold! He has the best ideas, the coolest ways to present them, and gives every student a unique approach and voice. This Bootcamp was transformative and a blast as well.
