My consultant pushed me really hard to make sure my application was differentiated from others. She really understands the US application process and what it takes to get in - that’s why she could bust all the myths I had heard and focus on what’s important. I am thrilled to be at Stanford- my dream school.

From day one Kavita added tremendous value to my candidature. She was quick to understand my background and really make my unique qualities stand out.

From day one Kavita added tremendous value to my candidature. She was quick to understand my background and really make my unique qualities stand out. When I went to her I had already decided on the topics of my application essay, but hearing me out she took the time to dig in my background and help me on what I actually should focus. I’d been dreaming about Penn since I was 9 years old and Kavita helped make this reality.

I entered 11th grade quite content to concentrate on my academics and an extra-curricular activity here and there. When I took the IB programme I had no idea that I would be swamped by names of universities normally only seen on the walls of dentists and lawyers. The hurly-burly mass of university advertising that has become I permanent fixture of my inbox seemed more daunting than even my chemistry teacher. The world of college admissions seemed un-navigable until I joined Futureworks consulting as a client. My list of close to 50 universities was methodically converted to a manageable 10. This was not done arbitrarily but rather keeping my own interests and potential in mind. This I think was the defining feature of working with this company. Personalized attention. Now, I sit content having got into Magdalen College, Oxford to read classics, which was always my first choice university. My experience with Futureworks was not only valuable in terms of the end result but also because of the various activities that I involved myself with, ranging from learning Greek to writing a research paper about the conflict in Kashmir. Even if I hadn't got into college, which I have to stress would be a near impossibility when working with Futureworks, I learned more than enough along the way to make it a truly fulfilling journey, one that I have enjoyed immeasurably

I had been told for almost a year that transferring to an Ivy League university was near impossible, and I was starting to accept that as well. That was before my counsellor pushed me like it was her application, and truly brought out the best in me. Reading, now, my first year applications, it is clear that they lacked the maturity and depth of th ...  More »

I had been told for almost a year that transferring to an Ivy League university was near impossible, and I was starting to accept that as well. That was before my counsellor pushed me like it was her application, and truly brought out the best in me. Reading, now, my first year applications, it is clear that they lacked the maturity and depth of the essays I was able to write after the guidance I received from Futureworks. I owe my next three years in Columbia University to Kavita Singh.

Thank you... thank you... thank you! I can’t believe I am at Columbia. When I first started the application process I was nervous and not sure if I should be aiming at the top schools.

Thank you... thank you... thank you! I can’t believe I am at Columbia. When I first started the application process I was nervous and not sure if I should be aiming at the top schools. Kavita conducted a deep analysis of my background and help me realise that I had credentials to get into top schools. Throughout the application process she reassured me and made me focus on my strengths – for the essays, resume and interviews. I believe her guidance played a very important role in ensuring I got accepted.

I planned to apply to INSEAD, Tuck, Columbia, ISB and Darden; in that order of preference. Plan was: INSEAD, Tuck and ISB in the first round; and Columbia and Darden in the second round (we never came to that). I converted ISB and INSEAD and I withdrew my application from Tuck after interview. I believe starting with the process early benefited m ...  More »

I planned to apply to INSEAD, Tuck, Columbia, ISB and Darden; in that order of preference. Plan was: INSEAD, Tuck and ISB in the first round; and Columbia and Darden in the second round (we never came to that). I converted ISB and INSEAD and I withdrew my application from Tuck after interview. I believe starting with the process early benefited me as it’s a very lengthy process. For an Indian, engineer (especially IT), male – it’s highly recommended as finalizing a coherent goal (short and long term) and digging into your work-ex and co-curricular to create a short-list of accomplishments, takes time. Futureworks helped me identify and map my strengths and weaknesses with those of the top business schools and helped my narrow down the list. Further the issue of networking and cold-calling, something that I was very uncomfortable with. Kavita helped me through the entire process, how to approach Alumni/representatives of schools, how to research and what questions to ask and how to carry that relationship forward.

What I loved about working with Kavita, was her straightforward attitude – be it while shortlisting schools to apply for, building my profile or editing essays.

What I loved about working with Kavita, was her straightforward attitude – be it while shortlisting schools to apply for, building my profile or editing essays. Extremely professional and quick in pinning down problems, focusing on scopes for improvement and enhancing my strengths to ensure my candidature got noticed amongst the applicant pool. Never giving up, she continued pushing me to refine my application, resume and interview preparation. I would say, her role was pivotal in my journey from application to acceptance in a top-tier school. Honestly, never thought I would get there. Thank you, Kavita!

Kavita’s help and guidance through the MBA application process was priceless. She knew exactly what the schools looked for in successful candidates and was able to provide a very structured approach to framing a great application. Her straightforward and honest feedback on the essays was extremely valuable in making sure that the application was up to the right standards. She was very prompt in her replies and also made sure that I never slipped on any deadline thus ensuring that I was able to submit all applications on time. The interview practice was vital in finally converting the application into an admit. Though I had initially planned to apply to 4 schools, I withdrew from the process after being accepted into INSEAD which was my top choice.

I am ecstatic that I have been offered admission at the Tepper School of Business (CMU). I would like to thank you for all of your continuous and unwavering support, encouragement and guidance without which this would not have been possible. I see lots of change in myself and think I have also grown as an individual interacting with you. Thank you ...  More »

I would like to thank you for all of your continuous and unwavering support, encouragement and guidance without which this would not have been possible.

Thank you so much Kavita for being a wonderful mentor and I look forward to seeking your guidance for my future career as well.

Before starting out with Ms. Singh, I was clueless about which college to apply to. Her realistic approach ensured that I focussed on only 2 colleges. Her ruthless culling of unnecessary information was key to good personal statements, which I feel played a key role in my admission. The biggest advantage with Ms. Singh is that she knows exactly what a college is looking for in a candidate, and through her step by step approach I managed to recall the minutest but important information, which can very easily be overlooked. The staff at Futureworks ensures that there is never any confusion and plentiful meetings are arranged with Kavita at the client's convenience.
