My experience with ISchoolConnect was good. The mentors and other officials help you go through the process in the best manner possible.

iSchoolConnect’s services are well-thought-out and affordable. I was looking for someone to review my SOPs and LORs and fine-tune them as and when required. ISC helped with exactly the same.

Apart from iSchoolConnect’s advisors, who are approachable and knowledgeable, their amazing AI-based interview feature is stupendous, giving a detailed analysis of our body language, facial expressions, voice inflections, pauses, and overall demeanor.

ISC team is quite responsive and gives constructive feedback that allows students to improve and upskill. Special mention to my mentor, Subramnayam, who is patient and understanding, explains layered processes in a simple & limpid manner.
