About Us

Founder's Note

The best admissions strategy begins with understanding the student—not just the application.

Every parent wants the same thing: to see their child flourish.Not simply gain admission to a prestigious university, but discover a path that reflects who they are, what they love, and who they are capable of becoming.I understand that journey because I have lived it.

Long before I became a college counselor, I was a parent navigating the U.S. college admissions process with my own three children. Together, we celebrated successes that included admissions to Stanford and Dartmouth, careers at organizations such as McKinsey and Google, and opportunities that extended well beyond university. Those experiences taught me that admissions is not a series of forms and deadlines. It is a journey of self-discovery, thoughtful decision-making, and long-term growth.

That journey inspired me to establish Three Pines Education. Here we become your thought partner. Parent to parent. Family to family.

We ask the questions that matter. We challenge assumptions. We celebrate strengths. We help students discover opportunities that genuinely align with who they are, rather than building applications designed simply to impress admissions officers.

Every recommendation we make is guided by one question:

“What is truly in the best interest of this student?”

That philosophy shapes everything we do—from academic planning and extracurricular strategy to essays, interviews, university selection, and every conversation in between.

 If you are an engaged parent looking not for another consultant, but for an experienced partner who understands both the opportunities and the responsibilities of this journey, I warmly welcome you to Three Pines Education.

It would be our privilege to walk this journey with your family.

Warm regards,

Sangeeta Sharma

Explore.
Question.
Experiment.


And when the time comes to apply, the application doesn’t need to invent a compelling story. It already has one.
