Expert Guidance Parent

When Meera and Arjun moved to the U.S. with their daughter Priya, they were excited about the opportunities ahead but felt overwhelmed by the complexities of the American college system. They didn’t know how to select the right courses, balance extracurriculars, or navigate the admissions process.

Strive Path became their trusted guide. During the initial consultation, Strive Path’s consultant provided a comprehensive overview of the U.S. education system and how Priya could best position herself for competitive college admissions.

The first step was developing Priya’s academic and extracurricular profile. Strive Path recommended advanced courses in subjects Priya was passionate about—biology and environmental science—and connected her with local volunteer opportunities in conservation. These experiences not only aligned with Priya’s interests but also strengthened her college applications.

Meera and Arjun were impressed by the level of detail Strive Path provided. “We felt like we finally understood what colleges were looking for,” Meera shared. “It gave us so much clarity and confidence.”

As Priya progressed, Strive Path continued to provide step-by-step guidance on everything from essay topics to Final date to receive applicationss. By the end of her senior year, Priya had been accepted to multiple top-choice universities, including a prestigious program in environmental science.

For Meera and Arjun, Strive Path didn’t just simplify the process—it made them feel empowered. “We went from feeling lost to feeling like we were experts,” Arjun said. “Strive Path turned what seemed impossible into a smooth journey.”

This case highlights Strive Path’s ability to demystify the college admissions process for families new to the system, ensuring their child’s success while reducing stress and confusion.
