New Delhi : Athena education, India’s leading global higher-ed consulting firm that provides transformational life coaching for admissions to Ivy League universities and equivalent institutions, reported a magnificent end to 2022 by an enviable list of acceptances to top universities across the world. Considering the typically low Ivy acceptance rates, Athena has clocked in extraordinary results this season.
Athena Education has scored 3 early admits at the prestigious Stanford university, despite just 4.4% of seats being allocated to international students. With an estimated 47,500 applicants and only 2000 acceptances, Athena’s milestone is pivotal in the international higher education landscape.
Results at other elite universities have been equally astounding, with Athena students being placed at UChicago(1), UPenn(3), Barnard(1), NYU(3), Northwestern(1), Caltech(1) and Imperial College, London(1). The company also recorded admits at Warwick(14), Rutgers(3), Indiana(12), Penn State(2), St. Andrews(11), University of Massachusetts, Amherst(2), Case Western Reserve(7), King’s College London(1), Kelley(7), and Babson(1). This is just the beginning of admission season and acceptances continue to roll in.
Speaking on this achievement, Poshak Agrawal, Founder Athena, said, “We’re humbled to see such stellar results in early decision rounds. They are a testament to our students and teams’ hard work, perseverance, and excellence. Since day one, we have constantly strived for exceptional results for our students by focusing on quality learning and building their own unique human brand. With the help of a team of specialists and through the convergence of tech, world-class analytical metrics, and expertise, we wish to empower many more students to receive a world-class education and become the leaders of tomorrow.”
Over 2,00,000 students from India went to study in the United States alone just last year, as per the latest data released by the Institute of International Education (IIE), despite a steadily dropping acceptance rate year on year. Most universities have reportedly received a higher number of applications for the 2022 intake vs the previous few years. With such a significant surge in the number of applications, Athena Education is focused on providing quality mentoring and experiential learning to all its students while aiming to keep up the great results by thinking forward, investing in supportive technologies, and being committed to excellence.
