About Indrani

Indrani Stangl grew up on the Stanford University campus before the label ‘Silicon Valley’ was coined. Her father, a Hungarian immigrant, was the Director of Lane Medical Library, and her mother, an East Indian immigrant, was a psychotherapist in Palo Alto.

The majority of her career, Indrani worked at Stanford in various student services roles that all included an admissions component. She left Stanford as she realized helping people apply to graduate school programs (and specifically law schools) was her primary passion, and became a professional law school admissions coach.

When Indrani isn’t coaching, she is happily in the kitchen cooking and baking for her family and friends. She has also volunteered with the same puppy rescue for over a decade, and lives at home with her husband and two rescue chihuahua mixes, El Chapo and Ivy.
