Harvard University

Full Financial Aid

"I got accepted to Harvard on 120% scholarship, and I also happen to be the only person from Pakistan to receive this honour in 2022. Sir Mustafa, I am beyond grateful for your support, your patience, and above all, the belief you placed in me.

I promise you, and everyone who helped me in this journey of a lifetime, to live up to the expectations and make full use of the priceless experiences I'll be able to receive in Harvard.

Once again, thank you for your support. This would have never been possible without your belief in my abilities. Your calmness, dedication, and investment into your students is unmatchable. Spending time in your office is probably something I'll remember the most from the entire college application cycle. Thank you so much, Sir. Indebted to you, always."

"Dear Sir,

I was thinking of you today. I was helping a nephew of mine with college applications, and it just drove home how much I owe you for providing me that guidance 12 years ago. In a way you built my life. Since then I've seen the amounts of bad advice kids get, and how much it changes their outlook and their opportunities. I treasure, to this day, that letter you wrote as your recommendation.

So glad you are still counselling! Perhaps many of those kids don't see yet what they are getting. I was stupid at 18 (still am), but over time have come to value good advice. It can be the difference. So much of who we become is luck, and I can trace a lot of what is my life to the dumb luck of having run into you. What you do has incredible meaning. What can be more meaningful than helping people build their lives and support others around them?

I'm doing well. Back in Seattle. Working for Amazon at the moment, have my thesis from grad school that still needs some work, and hoping at some point to dive more fully into teaching. I'm just writing to say thank you. I hope you're doing well. Hope we meet again soon."

"My experience with Sir Mustafa was immaculate. It prepared me perfectly for the difficult and tactical process of applying to US universities. 

For me, the journey necessitated self-discovery first and foremost. Sir Mustafa’s dedication allowed conversations to stretch beyond just formalities and introductions, instead touching on a breadth of topics ranging from peculiar mathematical theorems to the tenets of religious philosophy. A book he recommended on the latter introduced me to ideas that eventually helped me compose one of my final Stanford supplementary essays. 

His passion and commitment was made clear by the long hours he was ready to commit to reviewing applications iteratively, and made sure that a switch to online meetings did not hinder communication. He has my deepest gratitude for the essential guidance he provided me over the course of my years in A Level.."

International Presidential Scholar

"What the hell is he doing here if he is a Stanford grad? After interacting with him a couple of times, I realized that he is not just designated as a 'Counsellor’, he is here to revolutionize the lives of enthusiastic young men and women. 

Sir Mustafa brought a massive change in my carefree attitude by indulging in long discussions about society, philosophy and life with me. I feel that he is the only person who summarized my entire life and not only praised me but also encouraged and corrected me where needed. 

He understands and appreciates the emotional, academic and intellectual readiness in a student. He taught me that optimism is contagious and it not only encourages you, but those around you. If you work with him you might even end up with a wonderful pal. Sir, I owe a lot to you."

"Sir Rameez was the first person who introduced me to the entire college application process and it was through his unwavering guidance and support that I began to realise what it actually takes to be a successful applicant at some of the best universities in the world.

From helping me choose my subjects when I was entering A Level to taking me through the country-specific requirements and deadlines for each destination, Sir Rameez ensured that I was informed and supported throughout. 

At the end of my application cycle, I had offers from universities in Canada, the US and Australia. The feeling of overwhelming joy I had when I got into my dream universities was like nothing else, and the one person who played the most important role in this achievement was Sir Rameez."

University of Melbourne

Melbourne International Undergraduate Scholarship

"I still remember the time when I was working on my applications. It was during the middle of Covid. Our school was closed and admittedly I had not been the best at tracking my application deadlines. As always, it was Sir Rameez who came to the rescue

There was no way I would have had the admission success that I did had he not spent countless hours working on our applications, at times well into the evenings and sometimes on the weekends as well. He not only helped me and my group of friends with our personal and supplemental essays, but would also always be available to address any application portal related questions and guide us on every step of the application process. 

His support didn’t end at receiving our admission offers either. He even helped us make deciding the best combination of scholarship and financial aid packages so that our admission offers actually translated into placement success, and for that I am eternally grateful."
