Meet Bansi, a student from India! Bansi is an Environmental Engineering student with a Post-graduation from TAMU. She says of her experience, “after taking my GRE, I’d absolutely no idea how to gauge which universities would be suitable for me, based on my profile, finances, and overall networking prospects. My parents and I met an EducationUSA Adviser from Ahmedabad and cleared some doubts on how EducationUSA guides universities purely in the interest of the students with no hidden marketing intentions. The best part was that they didn’t spoon feed me, but guided more like a mentor and helped me connect with other peers in the group with their meet and greets and seminars so that I could thrive and build my own network there.

Saket Penurkar, an Electronics Engineer, is a first year Masters (Embedded Systems Engineering) student at the University of Colorado Boulder. Saket's interest in embedded systems sparked during his undergraduate studies while interning with the Indian Navy. He was keen to understand the software used in autonomous systems, the precision control involved and utilization of memory constrained hardware and wanted to gain skills and utilize them in developing software for medical devices making them more connected and efficient. He found that the University of Colorado, Boulder had the ideal curriculum. This summer, Saket is interning with Analog Devices. Saket is very thankful for Yashna Trust - EducationUSA Bangalore for their help and guidance. He adds, "The graduate advisor at Yashna Trust - EducationUSA, Bangalore helped me in shortlisting the universities and guided me along the process. This allowed me to have a hassle free experience"

Meet EducationUSA advisee Lohita Rajesh, master's student at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), majoring in Civil and Environmental Engineering. She says, “the application oriented learning and research-based education system in the US, is a great platform for students looking to expand their knowledge and gain global experience. My EducationUSA Adviser in Chennai, played a pivotal role in providing me with guidance. Her insights helped me navigate the process of applying to graduate school right until my pre-departure to the U.S. She is my mentor and guides me till date and I am thankful for her valuable inputs and guidance.”

My name is Hemanth Ghattamaneni and I am currently a master's student in Data Analytics Engineering at George Mason University, Virginia. My dream of pursuing a master's degree in the U.S. started during my undergraduate days in India and that’s when I got in touch with EducationUSA, Hyderabad. They provided me with multiple resources to understand the admission process for master's programs in the U.S. EducationUSA Adviser at Hyderabad, advised me about the application process and provides genuine feedback, which helped me get an admit at my desired university. I really appreciate and thank EducationUSA for guiding me through this process and helping me achieve my dreams.

Rahul Dass is currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Miami, Ohio. His dream for pursuing higher study in the U.S. started in early-2014 by becoming a member of EducationUSA Kolkata center. By intensely using all the resources that he could find at EdUSA, Rahul left for the U.S. to pursue MS in Computer Science at Indiana State University in Fall 2015. Shifting from Theoretical Physics to Computer Science was not an easy task. However, he has successfully obtained an MS in Computer Science from ISU in 2017. "With numerous standardized prep materials, bi-weekly advisory/FAQ sessions, and frequent interactions with the wide network of USIEF alumni, EducationUSA Kolkata offered me a fun, stimulating and event-packed experience when I decided to pursue my higher education in the U.S. With the entire process taking about a year, it was encouraging to be surrounded by similarly motivated aspirants giving a sense that we were "all in this together!"

Soham Khedekar, currently enrolled in the MS in Computer Science program at the University of Southern California, is discovering the joys of U.S. academic life. Soham worked with EducationUSA Mumbai on his U.S. university applications. He recommends EducationUSA for, “the knowledge they have of schools and the programs they offer - great advisors and events that really help you get to the next level.” Commenting on his own experience, Soham writes, “It was great! They welcome calls and reply to emails in no time. My resume and statement of purpose would've never reached the heights it did if it hadn't been for EducationUSA.”

Digitalization has surely made our lives easy, there is a plethora of information available online to assist us in every situation. However, I cannot think of any organisation better than EducationUSA when it comes to guiding students through the seemingly tedious and confusing process of getting admission into a good U.S. university. My adviser at EducationUSA, was of immense help during the whole process. I was a lost soul without her guidance. She is very resourceful and she motivated me all year around to build a strong profile for my admission. It is because of her candid feedback that I was able to score an admission at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo for a Master’s program in Business Analytics. I am really thankful to her and EducationUSA for easing the entire process and bringing me a step closer to achieve my goals.
