The Red Pen

The Red Pen Independent education consulting company, advising applicants who seek to study abroad at the school

The company co-founders, Kavita Mehta and Dr. Kimberly Wright Dixit, grew up in the US and met in Mumbai. After helping several friends and families with their essays and applications, they were struck by the way differences in global education systems and cultural expectations led to knowledge gaps, misconceptions and confusion among Indian students. They established The Red Pen in 2011 to provide holistic guidance and empower applicants to make informed choices about studying abroad.

If you looked at your activities list today, could you explain why each one matters?

The strongest extracurriculars aren’t always the ones that take up the most time. They’re the ones that show something meaningful about who you are and what you care about.

The next time you review your activities, don’t just ask what you’ve done. Ask yourself what you’ve demonstrated.
