I am currently a sophomore at Princeton University. The experience has been overwhelming, and I am very grateful for this amazing opportunity. I had been working for something like this for a long time but RiSE helped me fully realize this dream. My mentors there helped me with the finer things like the standardized tests and the college application but more importantly, they made me believe that I can succeed and became an essential part of my support system through a tough journey in an even tougher environment. The structure of the classes and process of teaching is one of a kind in Kashmir and is well suited to prepare you for competitive exams like JEE Advanced. I am very grateful to this institution and hopeful that they will continue to help more and more students to achieve their goals.
