Testimonial from Tina (Shiv's Mom)
”I would like to thank Devi and her very competent supportive team: Arianna, Lina, Laura, Faaiza, Pavan and Ethan. Shiv began his journey a little late in the race, but was held by strong pillars, I recommend that you start as early as 9th grade! Behind Devi’s young pretty facade is a dynamic CEO who is extremely resourceful. She was personally involved in Shiv’s process and along was available 24/7 .
Along the journey, obstacles, rejections, second opinion, stress, and managing many many components made it very difficult and easy to give up. The constant support of the team, followups to offer solutions, support and trust were essential and crucial for his success. I’d like to thank you all very much!”

“I have been with Ascend for about a year, and it has honesty changed my life. I got into NYU at Tisch School of the Arts. Ascend has been able to provide me with tutors for any of my IB subjects and they have been a tremendous help improving my grades like crazy, I feel that’s one of the reasons that NYU liked my academic profile.
Through Ascend I was able to meet my acting coach and my entire college application was perfected. Honestly, I was shocked that I got into NYU!”

“I wanted to solve an important problem for me: to build a business that provides virtual internships to students based in Indonesia. Through Ascend Now, I found a full team supporting my idea. They believed in me more than I did and thanks to them I achieved my dream. The project tied in nicely with my university applications too.
Ascend Now and I worked together successfully throughout my college journey - I got into Boston College. It's definitely true that with a strong team and support anything can become possible!”
