ABOUT SPINDLE

Founder's Note

"Over the last nine years, I’ve worked on 6,500+ applications, helped families secure $52M+ in scholarships and aid, and had numerous admits across the Ivy League, Oxbridge, Stanford, and top liberal arts colleges. What I’ve learned is simple: numbers open doors, but a clear, honest story gets you invited in.

I built Spindle to raise the standard in Pakistan: fewer students, deeper work, and writing that reads clean, confident, and true. Committees should meet you, not a checklist.

​

Grades matter, but story matters more. Families deserve a predictable, low-stress process. And every strategy should be evidence-first—drawn from thousands of real outcomes, not guesswork. Whether your record is perfect or patchy, our job is the same: help committees meet you, not just your numbers.”
