WHAT MOST FAMILIES DON'T KNOW
The rules have changed.
Most families haven't been told.
For years, the path was clear: excellent grades, strong boards, a few good extracurriculars, and a well-written personal statement. That formula worked. It no longer does.
Top US and UK universities now receive more applications from India's highest-performing students than they can possibly admit. Academic excellence is the floor, not the ceiling.
This webinar is the conversation your child's school counsellor probably isn't having with you.
"Grades open the door. But the students who get in are the ones who gave admissions officers a reason to remember them long after they closed the file."
Vandanee · Senior Admissions Counsellor, AddedEducation
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
What top universities want from Indian applicants now.
Why Grades Are No Longer Enough
What has changed in US and UK admissions over the last five years — and why the students getting in from India look different from the ones who did ten years ago.
What Selective Universities Actually Look For
The qualities, narratives, and profiles that genuinely move applications forward at Stanford, Oxford, Cornell, and their peers. Not what the brochure says — what actually works.
Building a Profile That Stands Out
How to identify your child's unique angle, develop it over time, and build an application that can't be replicated by the next high-scorer from the same school.
Case Studies & Live Q&A
Real Indian students. Real outcomes. Vandanee and Tarishi walk through what worked, what didn't, and take your questions live.
YOUR HOSTS
People who've shaped how India thinks about admissions.
Vandanee
Senior Admissions Counsellor · AddedEducation
A published writer and mentor with a Master's in English Literature from Delhi University and an Executive MBA from SP Jain. She has mentored over 300 students with acceptances to Stanford, Cornell, Dartmouth, Oxford, Brown, and Johns Hopkins. A former contributor to The Indian Express and NDTV on global admissions.
Tarishi
Counsellor & Training Lead · AddedEducation
Tarishi works at the intersection of two things most counsellors do only one of: guiding families through the admissions process, and building the systems that make that guidance consistently excellent. She is known for helping both students and colleagues see clearly what they are capable of — and then helping them get there.
