I'm glad I chose MyLaunchpad to help my son prepare for his US college admissions. Their counselors have proactively guided my son through every step of the process including his test prep, essay reviews, college selection and scholarship applications. My son was admitted to his top choice colleges. We would highly recommend their services!

My daughter was unsure about her career choice and the right path to achieve her goals. We reached out to Ms. Rekha Pillai at My Launchpad, and it was a fantastic experience. She took the time to understand my daughter’s interests, strengths, and motivations through thoughtful conversations and a science-backed assessment. In the follow-up session, Ms. Rekha explained the results clearly, offering practical insights and personalized guidance. She suggested few exciting options and created a roadmap with key courses, skills, and experience-building opportunities. What stood out was her personalized approach—no generic answers, just a plan tailored to my daughter’s strengths and goals. If you're overwhelmed by career decisions, My Launchpad is a game-changer. Highly recommended!
