Meet Our College Prep Consultants
Hi! I’m Nikhil Sakthirajan, an incoming engineering student at UCLA and a passionate mentor with firsthand experience navigating the competitive college admissions process. When I started high school, I had no clear idea of what I wanted to pursue. It wasn’t until my junior year that I discovered my passion for engineering—and in just 12 months, I was able to build my application from the ground up.
From conducting research in biomechanics and robotics to earning top honors at state science fairs, I developed a strong academic and extracurricular profile that helped me gain admission to multiple Top 10 engineering programs with acceptance rates under 10%.
Through my college consultation services, I offer personalized guidance on everything from crafting standout extracurriculars to finding and leveraging the right resources to strengthen your application. While my background lies in engineering and STEM admissions, I will work with students applying to a wide range of schools—from Ivy League institutions to top public universities—and help them maximize their chances.
