Product The Red Pen Admissions Consulting
Consultant Natasha Mankikar
Strengths:
1. The personalised intent shown throughout the application journey.
2. Interview prep.
3. Willingness to accommodate according to students' preferences.
4. Abiding by timelines and personal checkpoints.
Would make the product better:
1. Price is bit steep.
2. The school selection process can be improved. I feel consultants can be more forthcoming and assertive while recommending schools based on the student's profile.
3. The LoR and Resume process felt a bit stretched as it happened in the background. Maybe a dedicated week or two can be given to LoRs while the application essays are paused.
Natasha was my primary consultant, while Anju supported me with my LoRs and resume. Natasha was extremely helpful throughout the application journey. We were able to complete all our essays well before the submission deadline, which gave us ample time to refine storylines and key points toward the end.
I was particularly impressed by the depth we achieved while working through individual STAR stories. Having a clear structure from the beginning was invaluable, especially since many of my interviews revolved around these same stories. Overall, my conversations with Natasha were enriching and gave me the confidence to apply to my target schools.
The LoR and resume processes were also handled very well. Most discussions were completed early, though the Resume was finalized bit too close to the deadline. Overall, if cost is not a major constraint, I would recommend TRP to prospective applicants.
