Success Stories

At EdAstra, success is measured not just by where our students go, but by who they become along the way.

“Working with Chayanka has been an incredible experience. Her expertise in the admissions process is unmatched. She guided me with care, precision, and a genuine commitment to my success. I couldn't have done it without her!”

IB Diploma student, Dubai International Academy.

Acceptances: Cornell, UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and more

“Chayanka is one of the most empathetic, efficient and thoughtful people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She pushed me to introspect and constantly reminded me of the importance of honesty, simplicity and nuance. I never felt like a ‘client’ – she made me feel like a person with a story worth telling.”

A-Levels student, Dubai College

Acceptances: Yale and UCLA

“I gained confidence in my academic writing, managed to get ahead in my schoolwork, and felt more in control of my time and long-term goals. Despite it being virtual, I always felt supported. Her guidance made all the difference.”

IB Diploma student, Bonn International School (Germany)

“She was always prepared, organised, punctual and proactive. It was truly a pleasure to work with her. She made a process that can be very stressful and time-consuming enjoyable and fun.”

A-Levels student, Royal College Curepipe (Mauritius)

“The best applications don’t dazzle — they resonate.
We don’t manufacture standout stories. We uncover what’s already true — and teach students how to own it, name it, and share it with quiet authority.”
