Dr. Raj Srivastava, PhD
Personal College Admissions Consulting
It's all about planning and preparation.
Every student’s needs differ. I create a customized application plan tailored for success in your future goals. I provide a comprehensive “Peace-Of-Mind” admission package to prepare an academic path and robust personal development suited for your dream admission, whether you’re a freshman or a senior. I also prepare students to succeed in ACT and SAT. Past students have seen their scores increase from 21 to 27 (ACT) and 32 to 35 (ACT) and have received a SAT score of 1540. My students have also been National Merit Finalists.
"This took the pressure and stress off our whole family which was wonderful. [My two daughters] were accepted into many different schools with scholarship offers. -Michelle Franques ; "Dr. Raj was also the general of my war with the ACT. My first time taking the test, I was able to score a twenty-one, which was not enough for me to get into Tennessee. With the help of Dr. Raj, I achieved a score of twenty-seven on the ACT. This allowed me to be accepted into the university and even receive scholarships. By working with Dr. Raj, I was prepared to succeed in a collegiate setting.” Thomas Bond (UTK 2027), "Working with Dr. Raj last summer opened me up to many future opportunities that I did not think were possible. I had always talked about doing well on the ACT and going to a big school, but with his help, that has become closer and closer to a reality. Dr. Raj has always pushed me, but is very understanding and realizes that I have a busy schedule much like all other high schoolers." Chapen Stewart (ULL 2023)

My Philosophy
When admitted to colleges, my students have more confidence, are not afraid of challenges, have more vital study skills, and are motivated, goal-oriented, and driven to succeed. As a personal college admissions consultant, I am passionate about supporting students in taking the proper steps to achieve their goals. I believe in early planning and strategizing to guide them to their dream college. I do this by supporting all aspects of the admissions process to create a holistic, solid application, and I emphasize showcasing every student’s unique strengths, personality, and passion. I strive to make this journey fun and stress-free for students and parents by being both a guide and a friend they can go to without hesitation. In the process, I facilitate personal development and create a growth mindset in students.
