We are Unique

With college counselling services becoming so widely popular and accessible, we at Astha Bansal Counselling are still making a unique difference through our highly customized and personalized advising.

We look at every student’s story through a different lens and go out of our way to make even the most average performer look distinctive. ‘One size fits all’ is definitely not a principle that we follow.

Astha Bansal
Founder

“I consider each student’s application not a ‘job’ but a personal goal. When I had filed my postgrad applications for foreign universities, little did I know that I would eventually leave the financial industry to pursue a career in education consulting. For the past six years, I have made my students’ every dream my own, and I consider it a personal challenge to achieve our shared goals.

I am privileged to be an alumnus of Mayo College Ajmer, Shri Ram College of Commerce, and London School of Economics. Academia has forever excited me, and my students find that contagious and inspiring. My vision is not limited to cracking the Ivy Leagues; the real award lies in placing students to their ‘best-fit’ college because that could be life-changing.”

The idea is to be your…

Friend

As a close friend rather than a teacher, my association with students goes beyond college counselling to bring out the best in them and serve as a foundation for their future careers.

Philosopher

Being their biggest critic as well as their strongest proponent is a role I enjoy the most as I help students in their path of self-discovery.

Guide

I believe in introducing students to a wealth of wonderful learning opportunities so as to inspire them as they navigate their journey through the challenges in high school.

I would like to thank Astha Bansal Counselling for helping me achieve what seemed impossible at one point. I wouldn’t have been able to come this far without your guidance and support. Getting through all the colleges, I applied to is like a dream come true.

It was great! They helped me navigate college applications – which seemed very daunting at first. They made it look easy and helped me get into literally every college I applied to. They’ve also given me amazing ideas and have been instrumental in pushing me to achieve things I never thought I could.

With Astha as my counsellor, my college applications became much more organised and easier to complete. The most challenging aspect of the application was the college essays, and she helped me handle them efficiently and easily. She gave me feedback regarding each essay and showed me where I could improve on them. Working with Astha has been very rewarding.

I found my ideal mentor in Astha Bansal. She has not only helped me with college counselling but has also taught me how to work hard and keep trying until I succeed. She ensured that I completed my work and gave my best shot. I thank Astha Bansal Counselling for helping me choose the right college and making Kelley possible.

Astha was the perfect mentor. She pushed me when I needed it – encouraging me to explore and expand my horizons and to give my best that I did not know I was capable of. Calling her in a moment of panic (as is often seen in the college application process), she had the most calming effect, working with me pragmatically to achieve the best result possible. Asthal Bansal Counselling helped me from the beginning till the very end and helped me transform my ambitions into reality.
