“The workshop helped me feel confident and prepared through my college application journey. It broke down the full timeline—from freshman to senior year—and gave me a clear picture of what a strong application to top universities should look like. Even though I joined as a senior, the workshop was still incredibly helpful. It guided me in structuring my application so that all of my experiences came together to highlight my leadership, commitment to community, and passion for diversity whether that be in school, outside of school, and in my personal life. The tips on crafting my personal statement helped me bring my story to life in a way that felt authentic and impactful. I highly encourage high school students to join the Hidayah Services workshops early. Getting a head start will help ensure your application is strong, whether that’s through your extracurriculars, academic choices, or standardized testing. I’m so grateful for everything I learned. It truly made a difference.”​
