Who is part of your team, The Success Stories?
We are a team of people who have been to prestigious institutions like IITs, IISc Bangalore, ISI Kolkata, and thereby, completing our MS/MBA/PhDs from Ivy League and top 20 institutions. We believe, we can offer best advice to prospective students since we have ran on the same road and excelled throughout.
I am already working with a local counselor. Why should I join The Success Stories?
We are confident that we are better than 99% of the local counselors out there. We are engineers, and managers who have got A level education throughout unlike your local counselors. Local counselors are random XYZ bachelor level people who miss out logical structuring, critical thinking, and creativity in the application documents.
Which city do you work in?
With the advancement of Internet, it has become possible for us to work globally. We work completely online, and the whole process is through emails, video calls, text messages and phone calls. By saving on physical logistics, we pass on the cost benefits to our students by charging much lower for highest quality work.

What is the success rate of your past students?
We cannot claim all the credit but we have been fortunate to work with talented students. Some of our students got 10/10 admits, while some of them could make to top 10 universities with a scholarship. We would recommend you to go through our students testimonial.
Why is Statement of Purpose an important component of my application?
Statement of Purpose is the only document which is directly under your control and gives you an opportunity to be YOU. It should be a way for you to define how determined you are to attend that school, what you want out of that school and in the future. Your Statement of Purpose will say a lot of things about you subtly that high scores will never be able to speak out. It depicts your attitude, your ambition, your clarity of thought and your personality. Hence, Statement of Purpose sometimes does overweigh excellent profiles and can be a huge deciding factor in your admission at a top school.
Do you provide samples for statement, and recommendation letters?
No. If you read the above question and its answer, you would know why?! In fact, stay away from counselors who do. Your statement would be no unique but just like another 1000+ students applying for the university. But here is a very small demo paragraph, to help you judge for yourself:
Spending endless hours in solving Rubik’s cube and stumbling across a video of a machine that could solve any combination of Rubik’s while surfing the internet has motivated me towards a career in Computer Science. Being intrigued by the ways in which the robot could account all the 6^54 combinations combined with my Google search queries made me realize the importance of taking intelligent decisions. With that, coming across the intelligent decision of the machine based on past data made me even more curious of artificial intelligence. Therefore, I want to pursue MS in Computer Science preferably with specialization in Artificial Intelligence and convert my childhood fascination into a meaningful career.
