About me

Hi! I'm Anandi

I'm a college senior, Bay Area native, and avid entrepreneur. Today I work full-time at Spotify while finishing my degree and building my own ventures.

I transferred to Berkeley from community college, so I know the process from both sides of the fence: freshman applications, transfer applications, and everything in between.

My Application Journey

Navigating the college application process is hard. There's no way around it. Between building the right school list, managing countless deadlines, and writing essays that actually sound like you, there's a lot to figure out. But you don't have to do it alone.

I attended Dublin High School in the Bay Area and went straight to Las Positas/Chabot Community College in the East Bay to study Business Administration + Music. I applied to some of the most competitive programs across the country and was accepted to every UC campus I applied to, along with USC, Columbia, Berklee College of Music, Harvard Business School's SVMP, and Yale's School of Management Perspectives Program.

In 2024, I ultimately chose to transfer to UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, a program with an acceptance rate of under 4%.

But getting in wasn't just about having strong grades or checking the right boxes. It was about understanding what each program valued, identifying what made my story compelling, and building an application around that.

That's the same approach I bring to every student I work with: helping you understand what makes you competitive, find the strongest version of your story, and build an application that feels authentically you.
