Hi! My name is Prabhroop and I'm from Vancouver, Canada :) My interests span international relations, global development, Canadian politics, diplomacy, ethics, and fashion. I've also been a keen learner of languages since high school. Currently, I am a World Economic Forum Global Shaper and work as an External Relations Analyst at the First Nations Health Authority in Vancouver, BC. I am also a mentor for high school students around the world, supporting them with college applications and leadership development - with my most recent trip being Dubai and an upcoming workshop series for Cartier's Corporate Internship Program. I graduated from Harvard in 2023 where I was actively involved on campus. Some of my experiences include serving on the executive teams for the Harvard Graduate Council and Harvard Kennedy School Women in Defense, Diplomacy, and Development Organization. Previously, I worked in the Canadian Senate, where I was the first South Asian Page and later took on roles as a Legislative Analyst and Senators’ Office Staffer. One of my most memorable career highlights has been working in Vientiane as a Junior Political and Public Affairs Officer at the Canadian Embassy in Laos. I love meeting new people and hearing about their lives, passions and goals. I am very excited to coach folks from different backgrounds and support them in achieving their dreams!

On coaching for MPA / MPP / Master of City Planning: I have helped many individuals in the past who are considering a Masters in Public Policy, Public Administration and even some in City Planning. I can help you understand how to plan your application process (timeline to take GRE, request recommendations, choose & coach recommenders etc.), review your application (resume, essays, writing samples) and prepare for interviews, if needed.

Top-rated graduate-school admissions coach with experience at the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) Admissions Office, elite Ivy Advisors consultancy, and Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) Career program. I am a good fit for dual / concurrent degree, underrepresented / BIPOC, and international applicants. In my 10 years of coaching, some big wins include helping an individual from Malaysia secure admission to HKS and assisting another candidate with a 3.2 GPA and 145 (Quant) / 158 (Verbal) secure admission to a top 5 MBA with 60% funding. My coaching approach is guided by extensive admissions committee work and the fact that I went through this process myself. I was personally accepted to 5 top MBA programs and the Harvard Kennedy School with over $1 million in scholarship offers. During my time at HKS, I collaborated extensively with the head of the Admissions Office on revamping the AdCom process. I also hosted a 3-part admissions series attended by over 500 applicants on topics such as "The Classroom Experience in a Tri-Sector (private, public, and nonprofit) Environment" and "Navigating HKS as an Underrepresented Minority." Perhaps my biggest achievement in the Admissions Office is founding the Essay Buddy Review Program, pairing 100 current students with prospective applicants and *doubling* the number of Black and Latinx admits after 10 yrs. of stagnation. I am especially helpful to: ◉ candidates who are overwhelmed by the sheer number of essays in applications and want to strategically use each one to showcase a different strength ◉ international applicants looking for guidance on the U.S. program nuances ◉ joint / concurrent degree applicants ◉ candidates seeking scholarship funding ◉ applicants from the private sector who want to demonstrate seriousness for a public policy degree ◉ waitlisted or rejected applicants who want to make a compelling case for their candidacy through informal channels

Accepted to MIT's School of Engineering and have assisted many others with graduate school applications to pursue MS degrees.

I've applied for several highly selective scholarship and fellowship programs and received the Schwarzman Scholarship and the Ramsey Scholarship (full ride merit scholarship at UGA) to fund my entire education. I'm a great fit for individuals applying who are applying to these programs with several years of work experience (particularly in business/finance). I'm also a great fit for people re-applying to these programs -- I applied for the Schwarzman Scholarship twice and can help individuals approach a re-application. I've helped several students from my alma mater win the Schwarzman Scholarship and am excited to help others do the same!
