Dr. Sapna College Admissions Consulting

Dr. Sapna Sehgal, MSc (Oxon), PGCE, BCom, founded Dr. Sapna College Admissions Consulting to help teens and their families navigate one of the most important — and often overwhelming — processes of their school years. Her goal is straightforward: get your teen into their best-fit US college or UK/EU university, with as little stress as possible.

Dr. Sapna’s qualifications set her apart. She holds a PhD in Cognitive Science and Language, a Masters from the University of Oxford’s Department of Education, a PGCE from McGill University, and has over 20 years’ experience working with young people internationally. She has also worked directly within Oxford’s Graduate Admissions and Funding Office — giving her a rare, inside perspective on what top universities are actually looking for.
Her students have earned places at some of the world’s most sought-after institutions: Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, Georgetown, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, University of Michigan, Stanford, and many more.

The personal statement sits at the heart of what Dr. Sapna does. She is an expert writer who genuinely loves helping teenagers find their voice — crafting essays that are honest, individual, and memorable. Every package includes unlimited essay editing rounds, so you keep going until your teen’s best possible essay is on the page.
The process begins with a one-on-one brainstorming session over Zoom, where Dr. Sapna gets to know your teen, their ambitions, and their dream university. From there, she builds a clear plan and works alongside them through every stage — from shortlisting where to apply, to writing and refining the personal statement, to handling offers, waitlists, and final decisions. Families leave the process feeling organised, clear-headed, and prepared. Download Dr. Sapna’s free College Essay Guide here.

When working with clients, I focus on college list building so your university admissions process is tailor-made for you, considering your unique needs. I work a lot with personal essay editing to help your individuality shine, but also guide you through the rest of the process, including choosing the right college/university, resume/CV writing, supplementary essays, activities sheet descriptions, the Common App form, the UCAS form, and writing samples when needed. I absolutely LOVE helping students brainstorm and edit their personal statements and essays and seeing their authentic selves come out.
