Working with Kanishka was one of the best decisions I made during my BME Master’s application process. From day one, he helped me brainstorm essay topics that felt genuinely personal and meaningful—never cookie-cutter or cliché. His guidance in outlining and structuring my story helped bring out the heart of my experiences in a way that felt both authentic and compelling. What I appreciated most was how committed he was to keeping my voice at the center of every draft. Through multiple iterations, he provided thoughtful, detailed feedback that elevated the writing without making it feel over-edited. He was also incredibly responsive, with quick turnaround times that made the process smoother and far less stressful. Kanishka also took the time to explain the logic behind the admissions process, helping me understand not just how to write a strong essay, but why certain elements mattered and what schools are really looking for. That insight made a huge difference and gave me much more confidence throughout. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without his support. If you’re applying to grad school and want someone who’s not only skilled but also thoughtful and truly invested in your success, I highly recommend working with Kanishka.

Working with Dr. Kanishka is a masterclass in clarity, insight, and intentional action.

What distinguishes Dr. Kanishka is not just his ability to solve problems, but the way he does it—with deep listening, thoughtful questioning, and a genuine commitment to helping others uncover their own motivations and values. He doesn’t just offer guidance; he empowers reflection, alignment, and purpose-driven decision-making. Whether facilitating a high-stakes conversation, helping someone navigate uncertainty, or distilling complexity into clear, actionable insights, Dr. Kanishka brings a presence that is both strategic and deeply human. If you’re seeking someone who can help you think more clearly, lead more intentionally, or simply move forward with greater confidence—Dr. Kanishka is the person you want by your side.

Bryan was super helpful! I feel a lot more confident about the direction I want to go in with my personal statement : )

I was the first person in my family to go through the law school process and I was completely lost. Indrani helped me to demystify the process. I faced a lot of pressure from my family and those I cared about, but Indrani was always in my corner. She worked with me to perfect my essays and application. When I began receiving offers, Indrani helped me navigate law school offers and picking the school that fit me and my aspirations. I accepted a full ride from University of Denver of Sturm Law, and I do not think I could have done it without Indrani's help!

Working with Indrani was such a breeze and a pleasure. I came into the cycle with a very complex narrative, which Indrani was able to help me navigate and articulate in a professional way. She was also very timely with drafts and revisions, and because of that the process went by so much faster than I imagined. Overall, I am very satisfied with my results, despite the competitive cycle. With Indrani’s help, I was able to show the law school Admissions Committees the best version of myself.

I worked with Indrani Stangl who has been a true gem! She provided great feedback with my personal statement, diversity statement, and resume. In addition, Ms. Indrani provided one-on-one advice and constant engagement, making me feel assured and relaxed throughout the entire process. I can tell Ms. Indrani has a passion for helping others and her feedback is honest and will lead you in the right direction! I believe my personal statement and diversity statement were in the best shape imaginable once finished. It must've been—as I was accepted into the University of Pennsylvania, Carey Law. Super happy I worked with her!

I felt entirely overwhelmed with every part of the law school application process. Indrani was honest, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful through every step. In our first call, she helped me understand how to write a strong essay, and every draft I sent her was returned quickly and with excellent comments. Beyond the writing, I appreciated her answering my questions about the applications that I simply couldn't ask anyone else. So far, I have received multiple acceptances with full scholarships to schools I only dreamed about attending. I would absolutely work with Indrani again and am so grateful

Indrani will tell it to you straight. As a re-applicant, I didn’t have any insight into whether any part of my application was hurting me. On my first call with Indrani, she gave it to me straight: My personal statement was boring. One of my LORs was strong, but another one was so mediocre it could even hurt my application. I should try to get an LOR from a professor. After the call, I immediately reached out to one of my college professors and got an LOR from him. Then, Indrani helped me overhaul my personal statement to come up with a much stronger one. She also looked over my diversity statement and several “Why School X” essays, providing me with direct feedback all throughout the process (e.g., “This isn’t working,” “This is not specific enough,” “This sounds bland,” etc.). Indrani is also not shy to provide compliments when she sees something she likes (e.g., “I like this one,” “This one is ready to go,” “Nice!” etc.). Furthermore, she won’t try to fix something that isn’t broken. As an example, for my “Why Chicago Law” essay, I was specific enough that it was good to go after a revision or two. On the other hand, we worked on my “Why Berkeley Law” essay over several iterations to get the details down correctly. I don’t think you need an admissions consultant to stroke your ego. Instead, you need one to help with your application, and from my experience, Indrani can do just that. Sure, I retook the LSAT and improved slightly, but with the recent score inflation, I am not certain that was the changing factor. From 0 acceptances last year to acceptance into Columbia Law this year, I think Indrani was one of the main contributors to my successful cycle. Thanks, Indrani—I owe you one!
