Background

Unlock Your Academic Future with Expert Guidance

Prerna Bansal, with over a decade of experience, is dedicated to helping students navigate the complexities of college admissions and achieve their dreams.

Hi, I'm Prerna

And I’m here to help you get into that college you’ve been dreaming about, and hit those big career goals, without all the chaos and second-guessing.

The truth is, things move fast these days. New degrees, new roles, new rules. What worked five years ago, isn’t completely reliable now. It’s no longer just about high scores or perfect resumes. It’s about knowing how to tell your story in a way that allows the colleges to see who you really are.

I’ve been on both sides of this journey. I started out at Google, graduated from London Business School, and took many entrepreneurial detours before setting up Prerna Bansal & Co.

Since then, I’ve worked across 8 industries, stumbled, learned, grown - and helped over 300 people do the same. That one guy who had faced disciplinary action in college? He now works at an Investment Bank in London. The kid without any extracurriculars in school is all set to graduate.

What Our Students Say

Working with Prerana has been an amazing experience, it was much more personal and in depth than I had anticipated. With Prerna, you have someone that is 100% genuine, reliable and focused on what’s best for you. She was able to guide me and give me the push I needed to get me motivated and on the right path. She’s very professional in her work ethic while also having a real personal touch that makes her stand out. I wholeheartedly vouch for her to be able to take anyone through their admissions journey.

- AG, Harvard Ed. M, 2024

We had the privilege of working with Prerna during our daughter Anika’s college application journey, and we’re so grateful. She guided us through college and major selection, and essay writing - with both expertise and heart. What stood out was her deep understanding of our cultural background and Anika’s personality, which helped us find the right-fit colleges. Her warmth, energy, and care made a stressful process feel manageable. Anika received offers from top universities along with a $150,000 scholarship. We couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a counsellor who truly cares.

- HU, whose daughter received a full-ride scholarship to UT Dallas

Working with Prerna during my son Akash’s college application process was a wonderful experience. Her deep knowledge of colleges across the US, UK, and Canada helped us identify the right-fit options based on his strengths. She supported everything - from essays and profile building to competitive exams and internship planning. Prerna’s patience, clear communication, and organised approach made the process smooth and effective. She goes above and beyond, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, experienced, and genuinely invested admissions counsellor.

- KC, whose son got offers from IU Bloomington, ASU & Multiple UCs

Prerna has mastered the art of helping one dig deeper and crafting stories that are authentic to oneself. Her calm, positive and reassuring ‘we’ve got this’ attitude is really what stood out to me the most and made the otherwise regarded as ‘stressful’ experience, an exciting one. I would strongly recommend her to anyone not only looking for an essay/CV review, but also to help you think from a different perspective and translate your essence onto paper with precision.

- ID, Masters in Education, Columbia University

I had a low CGPA which made my choices limited. Prerna was the one who guided me and suggested to me what kinds of Universities I can apply for. She helped me in every step of the way - from shortlisting universities to tailoring SOPs for each of them and then to finalising the right people for the recommendation. With her help I was able to get into Kingston University that comes in the top 40 universities in the UK. I am so glad that I had reached out to her for her help and guidance.

- SS, Kingston University

My application process was complicated due to COVID and a few personal hurdles, but Prerna made the entire journey feel manageable and even enjoyable. She helped transform my SOP into a genuine reflection of my story - not just a list of achievements. What I appreciated most was how approachable and encouraging she was, while still being detail-oriented and fully committed. She was happy to do as many revisions as needed to get things just right. I always felt supported, and truly enjoyed working with her every step of the way.

- SM, King's University, M.Sc. Data Science

I was extremely confused regarding my future and the subjects I wanted to pick when I consulted Prerna. She was very very comfortable to work with and extremely approachable, she curated a plan that was suitable for both of us. She asked me questions and gave me space to explore and research on my own while guiding me simultaneously. She gave me an insight into different subjects and finally helped me pick the right one. She was super friendly and calm throughout all our sessions, a perfect shoulder to fall upon!

- DL

My experience with Prerna was filled with learning, reflection, and growth. Even though I was applying to niche, non-traditional master’s programs, she took the time to deeply understand the field - and made the process feel thoughtful and personalised. Her guidance was steady, her feedback honest, and her storytelling instincts spot on. I truly appreciated her patience, perspective, and ability to simplify a stressful process. Thanks to her creativity and insight, I cleared the first rounds at every college I applied to. It was a pleasure working with her!

- SJ, received offers from CIIS, San Francisco & Royal Academy of Arts, London

When we started working with Prerna, we knew very little about the US college application process. She quickly put us at ease, providing clarity and support at every step. Over six months, she guided us through essays, forms, and deadlines with dedication and quick turnarounds. Her detailed feedback - especially on the Common App and supplementary essays - made a huge difference. Amit’s final application was strong, clear, and timely, thanks to her help. It’s been a real pleasure working with her, and we’d gladly recommend her to any future college applicants.
