Kunal Shah — Founder

With over two decades of experience in international admissions, I work at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and mentorship to help ambitious students access the world’s most selective universities. I have advised applicants across undergraduate, postgraduate, and MBA pathways, with outcomes spanning institutions such as Stanford, MIT, Oxford, and UCL. I am the founder of two distinct admissions platforms. Through LearnOverseas, I focus on building scalable, ethical, and data-driven counseling systems that support students and institutions end to end. Through Stencil Consulting, I personally work one on one with a highly selective cohort of students and families, offering senior-level strategic guidance for top-tier global admits. Central to my work is The Dream Project, a structured, long-term mentorship model that begins as early as Grade 9. By aligning academics, extracurricular depth, and authentic narrative development, the program prepares students for sustained competitiveness in global admissions. My journey began with $500 and a one-way move to the United States for my MBA. That experience shaped my belief in resilience, access, and intentional planning, principles that continue to define my approach. To date, I have mentored 8,000+ students, led 1,000+ workshops across schools and colleges, and supported over $30 million in scholarship outcomes. I remain driven by a single conviction: world-class education is a catalyst for lifelong impact when guided with clarity, integrity, and purpose.
