Sravya Reddy

Sravya Reddy — MBBS · Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad

Where we started

Sravya walked into our Warangal HQ in early 2023. The family was anxious — medicine counselling feels overwhelming when you don't know which rank opens which college.

What we did

Our counsellor sat with them for a full 90 minutes in the first meeting. Not a hurried intake — a real conversation about grades, mock scores, budget, family preferences, and how far from home Sravya was willing to live.

From that we built a three-tier shortlist:

• Aspirational (2 colleges) — reach targets that would push Sravya to improve.
• On-target (3 colleges) — realistic based on current performance.
• Safety (2 colleges) — comfortable fallbacks the family could confidently afford.

The hard part

Halfway through the cycle, Sravya hit a plateau. Mock scores weren't improving. We brought in a peer mentor — a student who had cleared the same exam two years earlier — to sit with them for an afternoon. That re-motivated them.

Documentation

By the time the portal opened, every document was scanned, verified, and uploaded. No last-minute scrambles. No "oh we forgot the income certificate" panics that derail so many applications.

The outcome

MBBS · Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad. Not the #1 aspirational target, but a strong on-target college that fits both the family's budget and the student's long-term plan. That is the real win — a choice the family can live with happily, not a bragging-rights badge.

"Rishi did not promise me Osmania. They said it depends on the cutoff. That honesty is why I trusted their shortlist."

Lessons for the next cohort

1. Start paperwork in January, not May. 2. Mock-test plateaus are normal — do not panic-switch your study plan. 3. The best college is the one that fits your profile, not the one that fits the Whatsapp group.
