"Mr. Aggarwal was incredibly helpful and guiding as a college counselor. I came into the process not knowing any of the internees / finer details of college essays, but with his help I was able to write amazing essays that were very well tailored to specific colleges.

In the time that I worked with Parmod I was able to start my journey to college. Parmod pushed me to apply to different schools that I originally did not think of. I was informed of many scholarships. As well as, informed of all my options based on my high school gpa and grades. Not only this, but Parmod created a comforting and open environment in which I could grow. I highly recommend!

Mr. Aggarwal played a pivotal role in my college application journey, providing the guidance, support, and honest advice I needed to navigate the increasingly complex and competitive process. His approach was both personal and practical—he took the time to understand my strengths and helped me highlight them effectively in my applications. What truly set him apart was his unwavering availability and willingness to go above and beyond, whether it was bouncing off essay ideas, refining multiple drafts, or strategizing my college list.
His feedback was always detailed and actionable, making even the most daunting tasks feel manageable. From communicating with admissions offices to perfecting my essays—both primary and supplemental—Mr. Aggarwal was there at every step. Thanks to his expertise and encouragement, I was able to start my pre-med journey at the University of Pittsburgh with confidence. I can’t recommend his services enough to anyone looking to turn their college aspirations into reality.
