From Hesitant to Harvard

Aashna was brilliant, but quiet.
A published poet, a state-level debater, and a community organizer with a soft voice and a sharper mind.
But when she came to us in 2018, she didn't know how to make her profile speak for her.

Admit: Harvard Kennedy School, Class of 2020
Works At: United Nations Women, Geneva

When she applied, she barely spoke during her intro call. When she got in, her SOP was read aloud during faculty orientation

How the Vedic Path Methodology Unveiled Aashna's Identity

Aashna was clearly thoughtful. She spoke about activism, literature, and feminism. But her voice felt external-facing like a pitch.

What Vedic Path asked her: When did you first feel injustice? And what did it sound like?

What we discovered: The ration shop wall. A visceral childhood memory of systemic inequality. This became her origin moment something she had never thought to include, but it was the seed of her purpose.

Vedic Principle: Your story begins long before your application.
