Dr. Aggarwal made an effort to understand me – not just my application on paper, but the person behind it. He guided me to highlight parts of my story that deserve the spotlight and present them in a way that leaves a lasting impression.
He also offered insight into what program directors value and what doesn’t really matter (even if we think it does!)
Overall, it gave me a much better understanding of how to be my authentic self while highlighting the qualities that programs are really looking for.
