Dr. Jyotsna Changrani is a Mumbai-based parent — and Harvard-educated former faculty member at New York University — who has navigated the IB years twice over, with a keen perspective on what the journey demands. Both her daughters attended leading IB schools in Mumbai, earned top scores, and went on to highly selective US universities, one on a STEM track and one in the humanities. She understands what it takes to support an IB student, particularly how to keep building a student’s broader profile alongside IB’s rigorous curriculum — knowing what to pursue, and when. She has supported her daughters with identifying the right enrichment and extracurricular programs, developing and publishing original research, and helping shape their college essays to tell a compelling story — that ultimately carried both to Ivy League universities.
