Charu Malhotra, Pathways School Noida's College Advisor, knows that COVID-19 has changed many students' pre-planned strategies.

However, college preparation must go on, especially for the class of rising IB2 students. She told us that one of the areas of greatest need was personal statement writing. To address that, we hosted a custom presentation focusing on the differences and peculiarities of personal statement writing, comparing expectations and requirements of US and UK universities.

Charu and the students (over 70 of them registered for the session in July 2020 and made the most of the interactive nature of it) were extremely grateful. We are now planning a series of presentation for the upcoming academic year to give students safety and provide some certainties despite what is going during such global crisis.
