I would like to thank both Drishti and Dhwani for all their help and support. Without their immense guidance and essay help I would not have been able to achieve such promising results. I think we could not have done better. We put our best foot forward. Although an early start to the process and starting with Alther right after my 10th boards would have been helpful as I could have utilised that free time to be productive. I think one thing that Alther had was their ability to devote time to me. I wouldn’t have got such attention from any other counselling agency. I also think that their approach to the process was unique especially in terms of their essay ideas.

So it was only one of those days when we realised that we had to speed-track a process of applying into colleges abroad as we were really late in applying and the only word that came to my moms head was alther. The challenge was taken up by both of our mentors extremely well and as soon as possible ; from being patient with us to explaining everything in detail; both Drishti and Dhwani were very very particular and responsive. We never felt alone or helpless in the entire process as Dhwani was available even if it were for a small doubt we would conduct a meeting within hours of the doubt being raised. Even if I didn’t get to go, alther made me realise my passion for usc and motivated me to write a fabulous essay which eventually got me in. The proofreading of the creative writing process was also done very professionally. Working with alther was one of the most stress free experiences of my 12th Standard. Everything was amazing!

Drishti and Dhwani were unwavering pillars of support throughout my university admissions journey. They genuinely believed in me when others didn’t and their motivation and guidance helped me get into my dream university as well !

Your genuine care to understand my academic journey and assistance in building a profile that truly represents my passions set you apart.

It was an experience with a lot of ups and downs. Before joining Alther I struggled with finding the right information/ research, etc but Dhwani ma’am and Drishti ma’am helped me a lot . I’m glad to have had them as my counsellors . I had a lot of trouble with framing of sentences and even my vocabulary was poor . Dhwani ma’am and Drishti maam helped me to the most basic level and helped me correct my mistakes and I don’t think a lot of counsellors do that and I’m glad they helped me out.

Dhrishti and Dhwani came at a time in my college application journey when I was super confused, didn’t have any plan B and wasn’t even sure if I wanted to go abroad for college. With literally three or four weeks to submit 15 uni applications which generally takes an entire term to plan out, they gave their heart and soul to me and ensured I got the work done. Not just that, their personalised guidance, 24/7 availability on call and an always on zoom link kept me motivated throughout the journey. Alther ensured I had several options for college abroad and gave me an experience I will always remember. Attention to detail and understanding personalities suited for different roles sets you’ll apart. The fact that you treat every student as your own kid and not as a client motivates us to do better and strive for excellence.

With their help, I also gained access to resources, programs, and mentors that further helped me build my profile. They made sure that every aspect of my application was polished and personalized.

My journey with Alther began 2 years ago and it’s been a very intense but absolutely memorable experience. When I started off in the 11th grade, college applications and school work started piling up. I couldn’t handle the stress and needed guidance desperately because I was so confused about where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. Dhwani and Drishti have been the best counselors ever, from preparing my essays to editing them to fine tuning them multiple times a day to get it to perfection. They took all my stress away and accepted it as their own, they prepared me for my future and made me realize what I wanted to do with my life. This journey was wonderful and I learned so much from it, I don’t know where I would be without Alther consulting. Thank you so much Dhwani and Drishti for your guidance and support through every difficult moment in the last 2 years.

Dhwani is the most committed,professional and helpful counselor. She is so prompt and kind that not only did she agree to help me with my application for the Dialogue but she also set up a call and brainstormed with me immediately. Although she was busy with her new applications she didn’t hesitate and went out of her way to help me. Dhwani backed me up and made me feel confident. Her knowledge and polite nature has won me over and is now my go to person for any advice. I really appreciate all the help and strongly recommend her to all students applying to college. Thank you Dhwani!

Over the last year Dhwani and Dhrishti have helped me tremendously. Since most of my time was spent making college lists and writing essays, I was thankful that they were only a phone call away. They made the “foreign” college application process seem like a steady process instead of the monstrous workload that it was. Apart from the college applications, they helped me discover myself through asking me the right questions as I was writing essays on topics that meant a lot to me. I am glad they could give me the amount of time and personal attention they gave me and would urge anyone to work with them.

I was discussing my application process with Alther over dinner one day, and they told me they could help me with this. Once I spoke to them over the phone, they helped me make a thorough application schedule regarding all my essays which was extremely beneficial because of the vast amounts of essays which can be overwhelming and extremely time consuming. They also helped me strategise a college list after reviewing my grades and extracurriculars which made everything clear for me. They reviewed and helped me bring out more of myself in my essays through our meetings which helped make it personal and just an overall amazing essay! Every time I faced a writing block, they helped me overcome it by helping me brainstorm ideas and overall making this the best and most amazing journey. I basically got into my dream school because of this!

I joined Alther consulting in the 10th grade. Though there are a lot of options out there, Alther is something special, their personal touch and involvement in every step of the college application process is extremely helpful. I especially remember how much I have troubled them with my college essays as I found it really difficult to think of ideas, however, they were always just a call or text away and my problem would always be solved. In the summer for the 11th grade I finished a lot of preparation for my college application thanks to Dhwani and Dhrishti. I found this extremely helpful as my schedule was extremely packed during school days due to the extensive and tine consuming IB course. All my meetings with Dhrishti and Dhwani were amazing and talking to then was alway easy and I always looked forward to them as they always made me feel very comfortable to talk to then about any query I had without any judgment which I believe is very important in a college counsellor. I have had the best experience with Alther and I don't regret choosing them one bit.

Working with Miss Dhwani and Miss Drishti over the past six months has been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my interests, aspirations, and strengths, ensuring that my college list was tailored perfectly to what I was looking for. Their guidance played a crucial role in helping me decide on my Early Decision school, and they made sure that every choice I made was well-informed and aligned with my goals. One of the things I appreciated the most was how they worked with me to refine my Common App essay and activities section. They helped me highlight my experiences in a way that was both compelling and authentic, making sure that each of my 10 activities truly reflected my passions, leadership, and impact. Their attention to detail and personalized feedback elevated my application, ensuring that my narrative came through strongly. They were always on top of deadlines, requirements, and strategies, making the entire application process so much smoother along with their consistent support. Whether I had last-minute questions, needed reassurance, or simply wanted to talk through my thoughts, they were always available, making me feel extremely comfortable. More than just college counselors, they became mentors I could trust, and their warmth, friendliness, and personal connection made all the difference. I am beyond grateful for their unwavering support, and I truly couldn’t have asked for better guides through this journey.

Working with Ms. Dhwani over the past year at BD Somani has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Through our weekly meetings and in-depth discussions about my college plans, she played an important role in helping me gain admission to Tufts University through Early Decision 1. Beyond assisting with my Common App and supplemental essays, she took the time to truly understand me and what I was looking for in a college. She carefully curated a list of schools that aligned with my strengths and interests, making the entire process much smoother. Her constant reassurance and encouragement gave me the confidence I needed at every stage. Additionally, she facilitated connections with college representatives, allowing me to make more informed decisions. What sets Ms. Dhwani apart from other college counselors is her genuine commitment to her students. She not only provides guidance but also listens, supports, and ensures that each student feels confident throughout this challenging process. Her immense support made all the difference, and I am incredibly grateful for her mentorship.
