Welcome to Goldfinch College Consulting! I'm Gautam Sanka, founder of the company. As a full merit scholarship recipient at UNC Chapel Hill (Col. Robinson), I understand the importance of education and the impact it can have on one's life. As a high school senior, I was a finalist for both the Robertson Scholarship at Duke and the Park Scholarship at NC State, which allowed me to gain valuable insight into the college application process.

Over the years, I have helped numerous students in attending and receiving scholarships at UNC Chapel Hill and UNC Charlotte. This included identifying students’ strengths and helping them build the confidence to communicate their story well. I have provided essay guidance and helped them better articulate their life experiences in a thematic manner, which is crucial to be successful in the admission process.

My passion for helping students is rooted in my own experience of not having affordable guidance for both career and college application processes. Therefore, I founded Goldfinch College Consulting with a mission to create an affordable space for students to better share their experiences and guide them towards achieving their educational goals. Through Goldfinch College Consulting, I’m committed to providing comprehensive and personalized college consulting services to help students reach their full potential.
