My son absolutely loved his Gifted Gabber research program in nanoscience, and it's fantastic that he even presented his research in competitions. What's more, he took his learning home, safely doing his own experiments to prove his ideas. This whole experience has truly motivated him to dive deeper into this field and achieve even more.

Jothsna Kethar was an incredible source of support and guidance during the college financial aid and appeal process with MIT, Carnegie Mellon, U Mich, Georgia Tech and other colleges.. The FAFSA did not fully reflect the significant changes in my personal financial circumstances due to special situations and she helped navigate through the process. Jothsna took the time to thoroughly understand and break down my current financial situation, helping craft the right messaging to present to the financial aid offices at the colleges where my child had been accepted. Her mentorship included invaluable tips on how to communicate effectively with admissions and financial aid officers, which greatly strengthened our appeal, which yielded in over $40K in merit aide. The information, support, and strategic guidance Jothsna provided were crucial in navigating a complex and stressful process. I am truly grateful for her help, which played a key role in securing the financial support my family needed.

Arushi accepted Temple University Neuroscience Honors programm with $86,000 merit scholarship for 4 years. In her college application journey, you played one of the main parts and crucial to her high school achievement. Thank You

UGA came out with EA decisions. I’m telling you, kids who have amazing profile got deferred. Some magic from you, Jothsna. I’m thankful to you for helping Saketh to get in. I’m telling my friends, hands down follow her.

We are so thankful for all the help you gave our daughter, Pujitha, during the college application process. With your support, she was able to build an amazing profile that really showed her strengths and interests. Even though she missed the deadline to submit some things, you were so kind to accommodate us and make sure everything was ready. You also advised us not to apply Early Decision to Duke, which helped Pujitha focus on the best fit for her. Thanks to you, Pujitha got into Stanford, which we didn’t think was possible. We couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank you so much!

Coach Jo helped me gather all the necessary information for my college applications and made the process much easier. She guided me through writing great essays, especially my Common App essay, which I was originally unhappy with. After working with Coach Jo, I ended up with an essay I love. Her 'look over my shoulder' approach kept me on track and motivated. The Discord group and group sessions were super helpful, with Coach Jo being responsive and answering all my questions. The Trello board helped me stay organized, though I wish I could update the cards myself. Overall, Gifted Gabber was a fantastic experience, and I definitely feel more confident and prepared to submit my applications.

College applications were confusing with so many things to track, like SAT scores, transcripts, and essays. I feel more confident about receiving acceptances after spending time writing and editing my essays instead of rushing. The sessions helped me stay on track, meet deadlines, and brainstorm essay ideas. The resume building and ensuring I met college requirements were especially helpful. I loved how we brainstormed the Common App essay, which turned out much better than expected. Coach Jo’s guidance, especially for an Indian student, helped me understand the process and improve my chances of acceptance.
