College Shortcuts - Houston, Texas

Working with College Shortcuts was a game-changer for me. I had no idea where to start with my college applications, but the consultants were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. They helped me identify my strengths and showcase them in my applications. The tips on time management and organization were especially helpful. Thanks to their guidance, I not only submitted everything on time but also felt confident in my choices. Highly recommend for anyone feeling lost in the college prep process!

Neha and her team are absolutely wonderful. They demonstrate such care for their students and parents. They effectively engage and empower students to make the best decisions yielding top-tier results. They know their stuff and I trust them completely to guide my family through such a critical development phase.

Exceptional customer focus and technical expertise in this field. It takes the whole family listening and following through—leaning in and sometimes letting go, and Neha does a great job of walking us through every bit. Best investment in the future of our family!

Neha connected me with a consultant who helped me strengthen my application to Brown University. I was consistently treated with kindness and respect from both of them; never did I feel judged or scared to express my ideas. The consultant met with me 3 times over zoom, and was very personable and welcoming. He helped me set goals and deadlines to keep my application schedule on track. I am thankful for this opportunity to work with these two great people, and I believe that they'd be a big help to any student in need of guidance during the often stressful times of college applications.

We are extremely pleased with College Shortcuts! Our kids are participating in the mentorship program. They have several of their own project ideas, and my husband I just don’t have the time to provide guidance or oversight. The team at College Shortcuts helps the projects come to fruition by acting as a third parent who is a project manager, setting achievable goals at each meeting. The program provides great role modeling, confidence building, and mentorship. Most importantly, my kids are learning self-management. We have already recommended this program to many of our friends.

College Shortcuts transformed my college application experience! Their team was so encouraging and gave me the tools I needed to shine. I couldn’t have done it without them!

We have been working with Neha & her team for a year or so. Our daughter has been extremely happy with the projects and the project leads. Our experience is that it’s a 2 way process and the parents too have to be somewhat involved to ensure all is going as planned. The application fast track was one of a kind. To complete essays / supplement questions for 15+ schools in a four day retreat was unheard. We were so nervous and apprehensive about the retreat. However, Neha and her team proved us wrong. 85 % of the writing was done in a span of 3 days. Post the retreat, Neha reviewed and recommended corrections as required. I have thereafter recommended College Shortcuts to many of our friends. Neha’s experience in College Admissions is phenomenal and is a great motivator to every kid. To the response of the other parents who are part of mentorship, we were also on the call where the unprofessionalism of the parent took place. Neha’s mentorship program has also been a great experience, and it seems that not all parents fully understand the program and what needs to happen to create a solid coaching experience for the entire family! Again, I highly recommend College Shortcuts!

College costs have risen over the past few years at a rate higher than the CPI. There have also been many issues related to borrowing money to fund a college education. For those reasons and others, we are excited that Neha Gupta and College Shortcuts will be working with our clients to help position their children to meet these significant challenges. We strive to provide our clients excellent value for dollars spent and this is one area where we see an opportunity to create a competitive advantage.

I just saw a bunch of reviews pop up on my feed regarding College Shortcuts so I thought I’d add my 2 cents. I cannot really relate to the few negative reviews.

After spending weeks researching College Shortcuts, watching every video that’s available, reading every review and interviewing about a half a dozen top college admissions services/companies (some multiple times) we decided to enroll with Neha at College Shortcuts. Unlike with other companies, we got to talk to Neha and not a salesperson or some representative of the company.

When Neha told us she would personally be my daughter’s mentor (as part of the mentorship program), we were sold. Though it’s only been about 6 months, we could not be happier. Not only has Neha been giving my daughter projects to boast her future college applications, Neha is also providing extremely valuable guidance and great leadership skills to help my daughter, going forward.

Even though my wife and I are very involved with our kids, I am also known to have little patience if there is no progress. With Neha, we get detailed meeting notes after each session and shared docs to follow along with assignments. If something comes up and my daughter cannot make a scheduled meeting, Neha always understands and sets up a makeup date that fits into everyone’s schedule. Even if it’s last minute. And the most important thing of all, my daughter loves working with Neha.

Thank you Neha and College Shortcuts!!!
