College Shortcuts

Neha connected me with a consultant who helped me strengthen my application to Brown University. I was consistently treated with kindness and respect from both of them; never did I feel judged or scared to express my ideas. The consultant met with me 3 times over zoom, and was very personable and welcoming. He helped me set goals and deadlines to keep my application schedule on track. I am thankful for this opportunity to work with these two great people, and I believe that they'd be a big help to any student in need of guidance during the often stressful times of college applications.

Participating in the College Shortcuts mentorship program has been a transformative experience for me. Under the guidance of Neha, I have gained invaluable mentorship and direction that have significantly enriched my journey towards college readiness. Neha's guidance has helped me participate in starting a business with fellow peers. Starting a business requires time and dedication and I am looking forward to launching our business this year. Through engaging projects and lectures on soft skills/ public speaking, Neha's mentorship has played a pivotal role in enhancing my resume. As a result, my confidence has grown, and I feel well-equipped to navigate the challenges that lie ahead.

I have known Neha Gupta for over ten years. During 2 of those years she or one of her associates tutored my child. I was extremely pleased with her integrity and demeanor, as well as that of those she hired to work with her. Under Nehas tutelage, my child grew and matured in both her understanding of challenging material and difficult homework questions. It is necessary for parents to back up Nehas work at home to get the best and desired outcome, and for the child or teen to do the work asked of them. Not doing so will result in both poor grades and difficulties in life in general, as Neha teaches older children that life is tough, and one must develop strength and grit to be rewarded in any field. If Neha or her company received a bad review, it is likely that the student or students unfortunately did not take the work ( and perhaps life) seriously. I would not base my decision on one review of a family likely previously never challenged or asked to rise to the occasion. Neha is a star, and she gets results. Perhaps not the original results hoped for, but wow when she works with your child you learn they can reach for the stars, and be one. Leslie Law Harris, M.D.

I am father of one of Nehas students. While we have to still wait for my daughters admission outcome, I want to highlight some of my experience in last year or so to make sure if you are looking for help/mentorship for your kids with the college admission process, you should stop your search and just request Neha to consider your kids for the program. She is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how she presents the material to beginners (new to the process). Her lessons were engaging, useful, and she was very patient with everyone including my daughter. Always encouraging her students to try and do best. I know not all parents will get what they are looking for, but feedback from my daughter and my personal experience made me think that I made the right decision. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested. She has all the attributes and credentials to bring best to your kids. Thanks, Neha, for everything.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! At first, the founder, Neha Gupta will have all good things to say. She will make so many false promises. Once you are in the program, and the money is coming to her, she does not care at all. I enrolled my son in her mentorship program, we paid $$$$$ amount for 10 months. Initially, she said, there will be 2 mentorship classes every month and a few more to do some projects. During the course, she just decided not to have the class whenever she wants. She will twist the words and blame things on you. She is a liar and has no professionalism. The projects that my son started in her program, were supposed to be finished in 4 months. By the end of 10 months, my son hardly finished anything. That too, he did most stuff on his own. I kept writing emails to her, but there was no satisfactory response. After 10 months, I got a chance of attending her online meeting and raised my concerns on a video call. My two concerns were, 1. why she did not take two mentorship classes per month as promised. 2. When will projects be finished, as we are paying a lot of money every month and nothing productive is coming out of it. She not only had no answer to these concerns, but also, could not take the feedback positively. Just after the meeting, without my consent, she decided to withdraw my son from the program with no responsibility of finishing the ongoing projects. So now, the projects my son did for last 10 months are left in the middle. All these months he just wasted his time and efforts. This is the real side of Neha Gupta and College Shortcuts. What she did was unfair and unethical. People, do not get fooled by the sweet things she says initially. I am also a teacher, and if her heart allows her to leave a student in a jeopardized situation, I doubt if she is even a teacher. A teacher would never do that! Say no to College Shortcuts! Say no to Neha Gupta! Her response below, says it all! She takes every feedback personally. Nobody yelled or left the room during the zoom meeting. But as I said earlier, she will mould things and blame it on you! Her focus is not your student! Thats the reason she responds in this way here and in her emails. MY SON DID NOT FINISH EVEN A SINGLE PROJECT. The extra time she is talking about, use to last for 5-10 minutes ( supposed to be 1 hr.). We would never actually need this, if things were done right from the very beginning. She was suppose to give 2 mentorship classes per month with her( not with UPenn graduate), because thats what we paid for! Below are the dates she taught the classes which clearly shows she taught just 1 class for the months of Feb, May, June and July.
