In short

Switching from Chemistry to Computer Science and Machine Learning felt like a massive leap. GAP helped Nandita craft a story that made sense to top US universities, earning an admit to the University of Texas — she is now a Senior ML Engineer at Intuit.

The problem

Nandita was making a major transition from Chemistry to CS and Machine Learning, and worried about how credible that leap would look to admissions committees.

How GAP helped

  1. Built a coherent story around her field transition.

  2. Sharpened application clarity for competitive US MS programs.

  3. Positioned her foundation as an asset, not a gap.

The result

  • Admit to the University of Texas.
  • Now a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Intuit.

In their words

Coming from a Chemistry background at IIT Kharagpur, switching to Computer Science and eventually Machine Learning felt like a massive leap. But with the right guidance, I was able to craft a story that made sense to top U.S. universities. That admit changed everything. Today, I'm working in ML at Intuit, and it all started with that one well-told application.
