Respected sir,

pplying to a graduate school is a long and daunting series of tasks.

After you have short-listed the universities, you begin filling complicated and lengthy application forms, you start writing your Statements of Purpose, preparing your resume, and obtaining Letters of Recommendation from your professors in your college.

Having the assistance of experts with a keen eye for all these issues that affect your chances admission, and resolving such issues quickly and decisively will maximize your chances of getting in.

Pre- final year students are highly recommended to start building up their profile as US MS applications warrant a portfolio of research work/ papers/ projects in the field they want to specialize in. Unfortunately in India as against the US education systems, research papers/ projects are not an integral part of Undergraduate courses. Indian students have to work on their profile at least a year in advance before they have to send their applications. They should seek advice from experts on WHAT, HOW and WHICH projects/profile development work will be best for them.
