Randitya's Mother (ESSEC)
Dr. Sanjay and team Blue Ocean’s, support has been pivotal throughout the entire college admission journey of our son! The team was always accessible and approachable. They were very patient with answering all of our questions about the whole admission process (we had a lot!!). We had acceptances from almost all of our applications and received numerous scholarships. They perfected our UK application which helped us get into all of our UK colleges. We got acceptance into our first choice (<6% acceptance rate) which we didn’t think was possible with our profile! We couldn’t have had a better team to lead us through this avenue. They made the whole experience easier and special for our family.
