If I were to describe Rostrum in three words, they would be committed, helpful, and understanding. I've been working with Rostrum since the end of Grade 10, and throughout this journey, they've helped me build my profile, refine my writing, and prepare for the kind of academic discussions required in the admissions process. Having a counsellor also reduces stress for both students and parents by keeping track of timelines, deadlines, and pushing you to stay on course. Having a mentor helps you focus your efforts where they matter most and makes the entire process far more manageable
Looking back on my admissions journey, I genuinely feel that without Gwyn and the support of Rostrum, I would have been completely lost. The process can be overwhelming, but having someone who not only guided me but constantly challenged me to think deeper made all the difference. Working with Gwyn over the course of a year and a half was one of the most valuable parts of my journey.What I appreciated most was that the mentorship went beyond applications. It was about developing the way I think, communicate, and approach challenges. By the time I reached interviews and final application decisions, I felt prepared, confident, and far more capable than when I had started. I truly enjoyed my journey with Rostrum, and I can honestly say I couldn't have asked for a better mentor than Gwyn. University of Cambridge - Udayvir Rajput
Rostrum was unique in how it approached the application journey. From walking me through the very basics of each step, to helping me explore opportunities I would genuinely find meaningful, the support was both thorough and personalised. They encouraged me to participate in worldwide competitions like the John Locke Essay Competition and the Northeastern University Essay Competition, where I secured finalist placements in both, thanks to Gwyn's expert critique and Rostrum's supportive guidance..
Whether it was my admissions test, A-Levels, or essay writing, I was helped every step of the way. I could not be more grateful for the role they played in shaping both my application and my intellectual development.
When I first started working with Rostrum, I was quite overwhelmed by the university application process and the number of essays and requirements involved. Having never gone through something like this before, I wasn’t sure where to begin. However, the team made the entire process much more manageable and guided me through every stage of my applications.
What I appreciated most was their ability to help me articulate my thoughts and experiences in a way that felt authentic to me. Their feedback on my essays and overall application helped me present my profile more effectively, while still ensuring that my voice came through. Throughout the process, I felt supported and was always able to reach out whenever I needed guidance.
I’m extremely grateful for their support, which played an important role in helping me put forward the strongest applications possible and ultimately secure admission to my dream university.
When I joined Rostrum in Class 11, I had broad academic interests but wasn't entirely sure which direction I wanted to pursue.Through personalized mentorship, Rostrum helped me explore different subject areas, identify my academic strengths, and develop a clear understanding of what genuinely interested me. One of the most valuable aspects of the process was the guidance in navigating super-curricular activities and building an academic profile that was both authentic and focused. With so many opportunities available, Rostrum helped me streamline my efforts and create a compelling narrative around my interests in politics, society, and human behavior.
With Rostrum's support, I was able to secure offers from all five universities I applied to in the UK. If I had to describe Rostrum in three words, they would be Committed, Experienced, and Supportive.
I worked with Rostrum for a little more than 15 months, and it fully transformed the way I approached my application. When handed with the individual components of what I hoped would tell a coherent story, they gave me direction, clarity, and the belief in my own abilities.
None of this would be possible without Gwyn, who helped me deconstruct the way I thought and slowly rebuild it to approach complex philosophical, political, and legal problems with nuance. By expanding my knowledge, both in its breadth and depth, he enabled me to go into my tests and interviews with the confidence to articulate my ideas with logic, data, and brevity. I am grateful to Muskan, Shruti, and Diya for joining me on this journey - their check-ins and our conversations were invaluable.
The entire team were, at all times, incredibly responsive and thorough in their work with us. From detailed monthly reports tracking my progress, to building personalised game plans for profile expansion, to helping us compile spreadsheets full of data about my colleges, to providing us with domain-specific experts for all our niche questions, every step of the process was handled incredibly smoothly and professionally.
Rostrum has been an incredible part of my university application journey. They helped me grow, gain confidence, and choose universities that truly matched my profile, interests, and future goals.
Their guidance throughout the application process and rigorous interview preparation was invaluable. The team was always there whenever I needed support, and their dedication played a huge role in my multiple university acceptances around the world. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Rostrum team for believing in me and helping me achieve this milestone. I’m truly grateful for all your support.
What made the biggest difference was having the team at Rostrum helping me understand not just the universities I was applying to, but how I would fit into each program and make the most of the experience. From the very beginning, Rostrum provided clarity and direction. Their guidance helped me identify the right opportunities and gave me a clear understanding of the path I wanted to pursue. Throughout the application process, they took the time to tailor every aspect of my application to reflect both my professional and personal experiences in a way that felt authentic and impactful.
What stood out most was how personalized the journey was. Every application was approached strategically, and the team ensured I was thoroughly prepared for interviews and admissions conversations. Their support gave me the confidence to present my story effectively and make informed decisions throughout the process.
My journey with Rostrum began with a conversation. During my first meeting with Gwyn, we discussed my goals, where I wanted to apply, and most importantly, my motivation for studying Law. What stood out to me was how much time was spent understanding not just my academic interests, but also the reasons behind them. That initial conversation gave me the confidence that Rostrum was the right partner for my admissions journey.
Throughout the process, I felt supported at every stage. Whether it was refining my academic direction, strengthening my application, or preparing for the challenges of a highly competitive admissions process, the guidance I received was invaluable. Having a mentor who understood my aspirations and helped me navigate each step made the entire experience far more focused and manageable.
If I had to describe Rostrum in three words, they would be supportive, fundamental, and important.
My counsellor at Rostrum guided me through each step of the application process from making a college list, setting deadlines for myself, writing my essays to finally sending the applications out. The entire team at Rostrum has been so supportive over the past few months and has responded promptly each time I had a question or a doubt.
My experience with Rostrum has been a wonderful journey. I would like to thank the entire Rostrum team for the support they have given. Special thanks to Shivangi and Ratish for their constant guidance and assistance throughout the application procedure. It wouldn’t have been possible without them. From short listing colleges to editing SOPs several times, they have been there for me. Big thanks to the entire team for catering to all my needs, for making me believe in my self and my potentials. I’m soo grateful to have joined Rostrum, they have truly helped me to achieve my dreams.
Rostrum Education has been extremely helpful, patient and considerate throughout my application process. I owe my gratitude to my mentor Maknoon as he was always ready to address any query I had, no matter how small. Gwyn Day was an essential part of my UK applications as he helped me choose universities, courses and also in perfecting my SOP, I am thankful to him and the entire team at Rostrum Education for everything.
Rostrum has been a huge help over the past year, Ratish and the team has helped and supported in each and every step of the journey. With their guidance and expertise they tailor fit you for the universities. never expected i’d get into such great universities. all thanks to them!
