Testimonials

Christine Andrews, Former Yale Admissions Officer

As I watched the Dreamers College Essay Program I realised that Shaurya was spot on with his understanding of and approach to college essay writing. He presents the material in a clear and engaging way and any high school student would greatly benefit from the course. 

Sherlock Langevine, Stanford University

As someone with not very impressive stats coming from a country where the US College application process is practically unheard of, my applications were definitely a mess before I became a Sleep Deprived Dreamer. What these programs helped me with the most, was finding my authentic voice and it drastically improved my storytelling skills. After going through the extensive Dreamers College Essay program I felt much more confident to go ahead and tackle each college application strategically by presenting my best self on paper!

Aashi Mendpara, John Hopkins University

As a first-generation student, navigating the college application process was hard in itself; however, writing essays and developing my own story proved to be a greater challenge. I went through hundreds of resources, and I can confidently say that the Dreamers Program is the most thorough and well-developed course for essay writing. I learned how to effectively communicate ideas and thoughts, organize my story, and share my feelings with the reader. Without a doubt, this program was crucial in my college admissions journey, and I owe my dream college acceptances and scholarships to Sleep Deprived Dreamers. I cannot recommend it enough!
