Shabari was a saviour. She handheld my son Dev right through the process. She counselled him, helped plan his schedule, oversaw the personal statement and essays, curated the college list and ensured timely and accurate submissions. She was available at all times to answer the silliest of queries and never lost her patience while helping us navigate the oscillating thoughts at our end. Her best virtue though was the fact that she enjoyed 110% trust of Dev and us parents and she made us feel we were in her safe hands at all times. She helped us stay focused, avoid distraction and dismissed the irrational. That helped us glide through the process and land safely on the other side. She is simply awesome!

Shabari stands out as the essential guide. With over two decades of vast experience in navigating the complexities of college applications, she brings a wealth of expertise to the table. Shabari is a professional and has meticulous attention to detail. She took time to understand my daughter’s individual strengths and weaknesses, and advising her as per her limitations as to what suits her best and at the same time encouraging my daughter and instilling the confidence needed to surpass her limitations a quality which I assume comes from her vast experiencing in working at world renowned institutions. She is abreast of the latest trends and advancements in the education sector. Under Shabari's guidance my daughter succeeded in realizing her fullest potential and achieving her aspirations. I am profoundly grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking expert educational guidance.

We got invaluable support and guidance from Ms Shabari. Her vast experience and knowledge helped a lot. Also, she was highly encouraging and supportive and her calm demeanour plus readiness to discuss things made the entire process very smooth.  Thank you so much!  Seema Gupta

Being the first person to attend university from my family meant that I had no one from my family to guide me. Fortunately, I had Shabari to fill this void. From writing my personal statement to getting my head around UCAS, Shabari was always willing and happy to help; often preempting any issues or questions before they arose. Attending university was really important to me and has shaped my career and the person I am today. Although I did not choose a career in languages, I am now a qualified lawyer. I am forever grateful to Shabari, who I now call my friend, for the knowledge and guidance she provided to set me on the right path for the future.

As a student, I can confidently say that my experience working with EGC has been nothing short of transformative. Miss Shabari has been more than just a counsellor, she has been a mentor, a friend and a constant source of encouragement and support. She offered valuable insights into the admissions process, providing guidance on crafting compelling application essays, preparing for standardized tests, and securing scholarships. What sets EGC apart from other agencies is that they take their time to get to know every student individually. Advice is always tailored to each student's unique personalities and strengths. Thanks to their guidance, I gained acceptance into my dream school. I am deeply grateful for their support and highly recommend EGC services to any student seeking personalized guidance and support on their educational journey

EGC knows everything there is to know about college applications, what schools are looking for and how to make your application stand out. Most importantly, they are invested in their students. At a time when I doubted myself and had a teacher tell me to look at more attainable options when I expressed my interest in Wake Forest, EGC encouraged and uplifted me. In that moment, that small act of kindness meant everything. I graduated college with a major in Politics and International Affairs and double minors in Journalism and African Studies, a graduate degree in Journalism from Columbia University and I currently work at NBC News in New York City. EGC has been a part of my journey every step of the way.

I highly recommend EGC for their exceptional support in navigating me through my university application process. They were incredibly hands-on, fully invested in my success, and meticulously thorough. Their resourcefulness and dedication made the application process easy and manageable. Beyond practical assistance, I was provided invaluable emotional mentorship, guiding me through any uncertainties with empathy and wisdom. Their unwavering support played a pivotal role in my successful admission.

I would like to thank EGC for their invaluable support and encouragement to apply for Medical School in Birmingham, UK. I am currently a Foundation Year One Doctor in Birmingham and highly recommend applying to anyone interested in medicine. EGC helped me to ensure I made the right choices regarding which medical schools to apply for that best fit my academic profile. They were also invaluable in making sure I was well prepared for my interviews through thorough and vigorous practice interviews, honest feedback and assistance in how to make improvements. I couldn’t have navigated the application process alone, I’d highly recommend EGC.

I extend my gratitude to EGC and Shabari Shields, for her invaluable guidance, which played a pivotal role in my academic success. With her support, I secured admission offers from medical schools in the UK, in Ireland, and Cyprus Eventually, I chose to attend the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) and later gained acceptance to Harvard Medical School (HMS) for a Masters program. Shabari provided invaluable and personalized assistance in interview preparation, imparting skills that remain crucial in my academic pursuits. Her guidance extended beyond, helping me identify suitable universities, craft compelling personal statements, and explore alternative application avenues outside UCAS limits. I am truly grateful for the profound impact she has had on my educational and professional journey. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any student seeking personalized and effective guidance with their university applications.

I knew the medicine application process was going to be difficult with early deadlines and many requirements. With knowledge and experience of the competitive nature of the application process, Mr and Mrs Shields and Ms McManus knocked down all obstacles and provided support and encouragement through it all. They read through 7 versions of my personal statement and gave me honest constructive feedback as well as put me into contact with people who went through the same process. They even designed a multiple station mock interview to make the interviews less intimidating. Their door was always open when things got difficult. I felt supported every step of the way and because of their help I’m working as a doctor now in the UK. I can’t recommend them enough. You are in the right hands!

Thank you for helping me navigate the university application process, which can get quite daunting, so smoothly. Along with receiving offers from the universities applied to, your guidance and support also helped me figure out my best interests and make informed choices in the initial stages.
