Thank you so much for all of the help you gave T (and us) over the past few years!! You were always there for him and gave such sensible advice. I am so glad he had your voice of reason!! There is nothing we can do to express how grateful we are to you for everything you did for T. Now it is up to him to take advantage during this new chapter of life.

I am very excited to let you know that E just got the Early Decision acceptance notification! Aside from getting into her number one choice, this really gives her reassurance of her many fine qualities other than grades and SAT could display, and this will also boost her confidence in herself.

I will keep in touch! - M.K., Student Dear Nandita, This year I am observing lent by writing a note each of the 40 days to thank someone who has shown chesed, aka "loving kindness" in the world. Today you are the person who shed light on the path, who offered kindness and welcome. Thank you. We showed up in near blizzard conditions and with a certain amount of family tension. You were just terrific-- there was a qualitative difference from what we had experienced with others and it was because of your intentionality and spirit. I know you will make a difference and I salute you. Thank you. - E.K., Parent Working with Nandita was a wonderful experience. She made the experience not only successful, but rewarding. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Her enthusiasm helped keep me organized. - L.L., Student |
Thank you so much for everything. You were incredible throughout the entire college application process. I am beyond excited to be going to Yale this fall. Your advice was truly amazing. Even more important than the essay brainstorming, you somehow managed to keep me sane throughout the winter. You were such a calming presence and my confidence was always restored after we talked. I can't imagine doing it without you. Thank you so much for making a difference in my life.

Your candor and insight about the admissions process was greatly appreciated by staff and students. Several teachers stopped by my office this afternoon to say that the juniors were animated after the lunch about the meeting. Clearly, the students felt this was time well spent!

Both Susan and I thought the information you shared was invaluable for teachers and students, and we also think parents would benefit from hearing the insights you shared. - T.L., Guidance Counselor Nandita not only cares about me on an academic level, but a personal level. She made my experience a rewarding one. - A.D., Student It was clear from the outset your methods were interesting and effective. We would hear from X that you had fun but also got down to business.
