As I started to write my application essays, I was lost. I did not know how to sum up my points within the word limit, and more importantly, what to include from among the many things that I had done in my life. I am fortunate that I was told by my counsellor to take the guidance from Varrtika ma’am. Her patience to hear my viewpoint, clarity in choosing the most relevant aspects from all my activity lists, and helping me give my statement of purpose a coherent form were par excellent. With her ability to translate my ideas into a well defined format her help was invaluable. She has the capability to connect with young students and understand their specific queries and concerns. She also went out of her way to provide me tips on my video interview and also helped me with a perfect short video essay. Her help ensured I got admission in the university of my choice.

I had my Canada study visa rejected, and I was devastated. After months of preparation I was looking forward to travelling to Canada and starting my education. When I approached Ms. Varrtika Mudaliaar for her advice, after looking at my documents she simply said that my visa statement of purpose was the sole reason for the rejection. I did not believe her at first. When she started to discuss the way the statement was drafted, I started to see that what I wanted to convey to the visa officers was well understood by me, but I was not able to put it on paper through my statement of purpose. She worked with me each paragraph at a time, pointed out ways to realign, readjust and rewrite the information, and three days later, after we had two detailed session and one thorough edit, I went ahead and applied for my visa again. Nothing else in my file had changed except the visa essay. Obtaining my visa acceptance has convinced me that statement of purpose has a more important role in the admission process to foreign universities and visa acceptance than what students understand. I thank Ms. Varrtika for her guidance also for my CV, and also for how she removed my fears and disappointment with her words of encouragement.

Working for my essays with Varrtika was the best decision I took while preparing my applications for master’s in medicine. Her method of constant encouragement while extracting the best points and stories for my statement of purpose and supplementary essays helped me realize the qualities, activities, achievements and other aspects of my profile that enhanced the validity and the effectiveness of my essays. She also helped me with understanding the close connection between the essays and the letters of recommendation, and her guidance on my CV created a professionally relevant document. Her insights into the exact requirement for each essay were highly insightful, and I would encourage every student to let their life stories, and their essays pass through her professional expertise and written command over language.

I had a perfect mentor in Varrtika as we worked together, discussed every essay in my various applications, spent hours reading through my first drafts, had cups of coffee and laughed away our time as she generously helped me in putting together awesome personal statements, supplemental essays, CV and even helped with the recommendation letters. She also gave me insights into how to prepare for video essays and ways to present them. We were able to come to terms with all the important pointers I had missed and she changed the whole ballgame towards presenting me as a strong candidate to the universities. I saw firsthand how her knowledge about the study abroad field came really handy and she ironed out unwanted elements while suggesting important things to add to my various essays. The magic she weaved with my essays was beyond my imagination! I was ecstatic when I got admissions in more than just a few of the universities I applied to and could select the one I would finally study at. I look to taking Varrtika’s help again when I decide to do my master’s education.

As we completed the different parts of my son’s application for his undergrad degree, we realized we did not understand how to write his college application essays. We were stuck with this part of his study abroad application, and wondering how to go about it. I am extremely happy that we took help from Ms. Varrtika Mudaliaar, and that she, with her positive and optimistic approach not only helped us put together a great statement of purpose and letter of intent, but also gave valuable tips to my son for his academic writing and future assignments within a new learning system in Germany that was totally alien to us at that time. She could grasp easily what my son wanted to highlight in the statement and once it was finalized it read like a piece of fine writing. The letter of intent was formally formatted and presented his case well to the university. She also helped us with my son’s CV to render it a professional looking document. I am really happy to note the launch of Penned Perfections and wish that a vast number of students will be benefited with Varrtika’s guidance.
