My Story

I loved my college experience. I came to the US from India on a full scholarship. College opened doors for me and prepared me for a rewarding career in finance. I took full advantage of various curricular and extracurricular opportunities. I want to “pay my own experience forward” and also support low income families pro-bono.

The US has amazing colleges. I want my students to attain their educational goals, discover new opportunities and build strong social and professional networks. I want them to see college as a place where they can connect to global opportunities and not just as a stepping stone to getting a job; a place where they can take on challenges without the fear of failure, learn how to research, write well and problem solve.

Success Stories

"Jonake takes a holistic approach to college applications.  Instead of just targeting the highest ranked colleges, Jonake takes the time to get to know the applicants and their families to ensure the best fit for the student.  Her approach brings down the stress level for everyone involved." - Parent S. C.

"Jonake helped our son draft a list of colleges to look into, aided with research, narrowed the list down to a reasonable number, and kept him on track with all of the applications. She made the entire application process much less stressful! Our son felt more at ease and appreciated her insights on how to develop criteria for college selection." - Parent A.K.
​
“Jonake’s guidance uncovered the perfect fit college for our daughter and one I had never heard of as an immigrant to the US. Our daughter successfully graduated from her chosen college and is doing well, having found a new job at a startup, during a time of high unemployment among graduates. I am grateful for Jonake’s wisdom, patience and guidance for our daughter’s college application process.” –​Jenn
“Working with Jonake was an invaluable experience, as she broadened my horizons and gave me the tools I needed to find the college that was best for me. Without her help the college application process would have been infinitely more stressful and I wouldn’t have found the college that fit me best.” –Julian

“Jonake proved to be a very helpful resource in navigating the hectic college application process: she provided personalized insight that greatly lowered the uncertainty I experienced. More specifically, she served as a very valuable resource in navigating FAFSA and financial aid, in addition to providing specific advice on the improvement of writing materials.” –Mateo


Jonake Bose is an amazing college counselor; My kids are all very different and she’s been able to connect with all of them and really work to understand what college might be the best fit for each. She has helped both the kids and us parents (we did not attend university in the US) understand how the college application and admission process works and how to navigate it. We are so grateful to have found her. –Parent Laura
