College Admissions Workshops Overview

As you start thinking about applying to college, there are clear ways to make your application—and yourself —stand out. Learn insights from a Wellesley/MIT student, also a Science Guru Alumnus and her Dad about their experiences with college admissions that will help you get better prepared with your college applications process. We encourage the student and their parent to team-up in these workshops and learn together, thereby making the journey more informed and pleasant. 
The Team
Shreya Kochar: Wellesley College | ML, Neuroscience, MIT | WC Girls Who Code, President
Across these sessions, I’ll give you a peek into my essays, the strategies, mistakes I made etc. Feel free to contact me via skochar@mit.edu or https://www.linkedin.com/in/shreyakochar

Harpal Kochar: Software Architect | Salesforce | Shreya’s Dad
In 2016, I attended a semester-long class at Stanford on college admissions planning, taught by an ex-dean of Stanford Admissions. I uniquely saw the process from the eyes of the elite colleges. I’ll share my journey with you, how Shreya and I teamed up, drove each other crazy at times. We interviewed several counselors before choosing one. We flew/drove to 20+ schools, interviewed with 16-admissions teams. We learned a lot that you can learn. Outside of work, I am a lifelong runner. I race 2-3 marathons every year.
