“I was overwhelmed by the French essay requirements and campus interview nuances. Harshita broke down the entire ESSEC application into weekly milestones. Her feedback on my motivation letter was surgical, and having mock interviews with someone who actually lived in France made all the difference. Securing the Charpak scholarship was the icing on the cake!”
