Half-way through high school, I was in a state of confusion neither did I know where I wanted to go for university, nor I did I have any idea of what area of engineering or technology I wanted to study. Priyanka my counsellor, however, proved to be an invaluable guide and mentor throughout the whole university application procedure. She counselled my parents as well for letting me choose what I like and what I wanted to study. From suggesting studying Artificial Intelligence in the US, to guiding me through my student visa application, I can say with confidence that my counsellor played a major role in providing me with what I see were the most important pieces of information I needed during my university application process. And although the decision was completely mine, she gave me her personal opinions on what university to pick when the time came to choose. Applying to so many universities across the US for engineering she told me to choose University of California Davis and gave reasons for the same.
Missing deadlines or misunderstanding emails from the university were impossible as my counsellor was always a few moments away from answering any question I had. Working with my counsellor eliminated any of the normal anxiety experienced during this process. Out of all the decisions that had to be made during the last year, getting help from her was definitely the most rewarding.
