Exceptional Guidance from Raisa Alam

When I first joined the program, I was uncertain about how beneficial it would be for me. To get a better sense, I attended a few trial sessions and met several counselors, all of whom were fantastic. On the third session, I met Raisa Alam, who was not only incredibly friendly and supportive but also had the precise background I needed.

Now, as I start my sophomore year with a focus on premed and sciences—Raisa’s area of expertise—she has been pivotal in outlining my plans for the next few years and offering valuable advice. I greatly appreciate how she uses her field knowledge to help me build my resume, choose the right courses, develop research projects I’m passionate about, and more. She provides excellent tips and guidance on the areas I need to strengthen and offers strategies on how to achieve that.
