Samarth’s Prestigious Scholarships & Fellowships Qualifications

10+ people coached for Prestigious Scholarships & Fellowships

Samarth has helped clients get into these schools:

I received the Rhodes Scholarship, Marshall Scholarship, and Truman Scholarship. My success was in large part due to the help of thoughtful mentors, who invested their time and energy into helping me create a cohesive narrative and give me confidence. I recognize that when applying to these programs, there's no shortage of advice and opinions. What I found most helpful is to have someone you really trust who works with you to make your application something you're proud of because it genuinely reflects who you are. Those are the strongest applications and the hardest to build. I'm grateful that people in my life helped me convey my whole story through these byzantine applications, and I'm eager to help you do the same.

About Samarth

I graduated from Harvard College, Yale Law School, and Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship and I coach admissions for college, graduate school, and fellowship programs. My family and I are first generation immigrants from India. Neither of my parents went to college in the United States nor did they understand all that goes into the competitive application process. But I was lucky enough to go to a great public school in Massachusetts and then to some of the best universities in the world. At Harvard, I studied economics with a passion toward public service, which led me to win the Truman Scholarship. During my senior year, I was awarded both the Marshall Scholarship and Rhodes Scholarship, funding my degree in comparative social policy at Oxford. From there, I went to Yale, where I studied local government law and housing policy. In the middle of my last year, I moved down to Washington DC to serve in the Treasury Department, focused on applying sanctions to Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine and improving the U.S. economy. After leaving the government, I joined a startup in the sports industry while also continuing my policy work as a fellow at Stanford's Institute for Economic Policy and Research.

Why do I coach?

Through applying for college, fellowship programs, and law school, I came to appreciate that competitive applications aren't some mysterious black boxes that only the most connected can see into. Instead, as cliche as it sounds, universities want to know you--what motivates you, what brings you joy, what you want to do in your career, and why you do what you do. It sounds simple right? In reality, writing about the whole of yourself, and doing it in a compelling way, is the hardest part of any application. Throughout my life, I've been lucky to have mentors who helped me figure out my story and convey it in personal statements, supplement essays, and through a resume. I came to appreciate that the most important thing a coach can do is to give you confidence in your story and figure out how to package it into all the disparate parts of byzantine applications. I've helped friends, mentees, and coworkers get into some of the most prestigious universities in the country and to figure out what the right fit is for them. I love working with people to help them craft their narrative, be confident in it, and communicate it. I'd love to help you too.
