I first met Dr. Kaifi at a conference at UC Berkeley. He was a keynote speaker that reached out to our community in order to help the rising youth achieve remarkable things. He is always willing to help and support the youth with any endeavors that we may have in order to accomplish our short-term and long-term goals. Dr. Kaifi was a very helpful resource that I am thankful to have. With his assistance, I am currently interning at Harvard University for the summer.

There are so many goals that we want to accomplish, but can’t without the proper support or influence. I want to be in the legal field someday, and I sought out to find a summer experience that would give me exposure to the environment and people I expect to work with someday. I applied to a position at Boalt Law School, UC Berkeley that would allow me that very exposure as an undergraduate student, and Dr. Belal Kaifi was more than willing to help me in scoring the position. He went above and beyond my expectations to make sure that I obtain the position. He really does value the success of the youth, and treats it as if it were his own. He is an inspiring, motivational, and sincere professional who wants each of us to succeed in accomplishing our goals, and asks nothing but for us to do the same for others in return. Thank you so much for being a brother to me, and helping me with this position, as well as letting me know that I can always count on you for future guidance!

Dr. Belal Kaifi and his team secured me a rewarding and competitive position as a college instructor. In addition, we collaborated on several academic papers that were published in peer reviewed journals. In 2010, he supported my successful application to medical school with a strong letter of recommendation. I would not be on the path to realizing my dream of becoming a physician without Dr. Kaifi’s support and professional guidance.

Dr. Belal Kaifi and his team were able to review, edit, and provide constructive criticism to my personal statement which I am very grateful for. I will be starting UC Berkeley in Fall 2012.

His constant support and eagerness to help have provided to be a great support through the stressful application cycle.In addition to the support Dr. Kaifi has offered through the years, he also offered his precious time. He wrote a letter of recommendation in my support, as well as practiced mock interviews with me. He also spent a number of hours editing my personal statement.I am graciously appreciative of all he has helped me with. Through my contacts with Dr. Kaifi, my professional career has been very positively influenced. Thank You

It has truly been an honor to get to know Dr. Kaifi. He is a true role model for all young Afghans across the world. Dr. Kaifi and his team wrote me a letter of recommendation that helped me find a job at one of the most respected technology companies in the world. His letter of recommendation also helped me get into Ross University School of Medicine. One day, I hope that I can provide similar support to the youth of this country.

Edreece A.

Dr. Kaifi and his team helped me get into a graduate program (M.P.A.) at California State University, East Bay. More specifically, he spent countless hours polishing up my personal statement (over ten drafts). I am forever grateful to him and his team.

Kelly S.

I first met Dr. Kaifi at a banquet at UC Davis. After getting to know each other, Dr. Kaifi provided me with the opportunity to be one of his research associates for a project he was doing regarding workforce discrimination. Dr. Kaifi and his team were able to write me an outstanding letter of recommendation that has helped me become a competitive applicant for pharmacy school, which I started in the Fall of 2013 at Pacific Northwest University.

Matt R.

Dr. Belal Kaifi and his team wrote me a letter of recommendation which helped me get a job at the American Lung Association. Prior to that, I had no particular healthcare experience. What intrigued me most about Dr. Kaifi, was his willingness to serve his community in their plight to achieve academic and educational professionalism. As a young professional myself, I have reached out to Dr. Kaifi a number of times with career related inquires and received instant responses despite the fact that he has a jam-packed schedule. I had read Dr. Kaifi’s Managing Your Future: An Educational Guide and was shocked by his co-usage of quality and clarity, making the book comprehensive to a young high school student, yet still intellectually stimulating to an academic. After completing the book, I passed it on to my younger cousin, a freshmen in high school, and he agreed with my sentiments. In closing, I strongly believe that this world is in dire needs of more people like Dr. Belal Kaifi.

Dr. Belal Kaifi has not only been my mentor but also a great motivator. He has been there for me every step of the way helping me with my acceptance to the master’s program as well as medical school at Midwestern University. He has assisted me in writing a heart-felt personal statement by editing and advising me on every stage of it’s progress. He also wrote me a letter of recommendation which fulfilled the requirement of many medical school applications. Being a first generation college graduate, his tips and advice decreased my struggles towards success and helped me make choices which will ultimately lead to a better future for me. Ultimately, without his support and guidance my goals wouldn’t be at arms reach.

Sarah Y.

Dr. Belal Kaifi and his team were able to help me find a Nursing Program (Roseman University of Health Sciences) that I was able to thrive in. He also helped me with different drafts of my personal statement. I appreciate all of his efforts. My goal is to become a C.R.N.A. thanks to Dr. Kaifi’s great career advice several years ago.

Mike H.

I’ll be honest, when I first started my journey of applying to medical school in high school it seemed unfathomable at times. Then I met Dr. Kaifi. A professional motivated in all faucets of life. Knowing that I had your help and support has been tremendous throughout this grueling process and with God’s will I got accepted to Florida International University’s Medical School. I cannot thank you enough. You found me a job that helped me network with professionals in healthcare, you put up with my annoying emails, questions, letters of recommendations, and so on. Thank you for that. I’m grateful to have someone like you that treated me like their own brother.

Nathan N.

It was during a conference at UC Berkeley when I first met Dr. Kaifi who was the keynote speaker. During his speech, he mentioned that he is willing to help the youth with their educational aspirations. I thought it was really nice of him to offer, but didn’t think he would actually go through with it. I soon found out that I was wrong. Dr. Kaifi really went above and beyond in helping me prepare for my pharmacy school interviews. I’m glad to say I’ll be starting Pharmacy School at UCSF in Fall 2014. Thank you Dr. Kaifi for being such a positive influence in my life.

Tuba N.

Dr. Kaifi has been an inspiration and an invaluable resource in my academic career. Dr. Kaifi is a role model who truly cares for his students as well as his work. He inspires and supports his students to meet their full potential, which he has done for me. With the letter of recommendation from Dr. Kaifi, I was able to secure admission to Samuel Merritt’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program upon my first attempt. With as much competition there is in the nursing programs, I believe Dr. Kaifi’s letter gave me the competitive edge and helped me stand out among the pool of applicants. I am, and forever will be, grateful to Dr. Kaifi for his support and guidance.

Rose K.

Dr. Kaifi, I just wanted to thank you for your support and kindness. You wrote me a sincere letter of recommendation that helped me tremendously. Thank you so much! I wanted to let you know that I got into UC Berkeley and UC Davis! I plan on attending UC Berkeley for the next four years of my life. Once again, thank you so much! Wish you the best in all that you do. Thank You!

Sandeep L.

Thanks to your help Dr. Kaifi, I have been accepted to Mills College 2 plus 2 Nursing program and I plan on attending the school in the upcoming Fall 2015. I would like to thank you very much for all your help and I very much appreciate your help with my personal statements. Thank you once again and have a good day.

Dr. Belal Kaifi provided me with an outstanding letter of recommendation that helped me get into UC Davis, Santa Clara University, and San Jose State University. Furthermore, he helped me choose which university to attend and encouraged me to major in Computer Science. He provided me with constructive criticism which allowed me to acknowledge the pros/cons of each university – yet also pushed me to think on my own and consider what school will benefit me the most. I am very excited to start SJSU in the fall of 2017 and without Dr. Kaifi I may not have reached this decision as I didn’t notice all of the opportunities that await me at SJSU.

Dr. Belal Kaifi has played a vital role in my endeavors as a student and educator. I have known him since I was a high school student and he was teaching at my high school. Since then, I’ve reached out to him on multiple occasions as I pursued a career in education, and he has offered reliable and realistic advice each and every time. Dr. Kaifi has guided me through my credentialing and Master’s program in the field of Education from San Diego State University with letters of recommendation, invaluable advice, and mentoring. Currently, I am a teacher at the Pittsburg Unified School District aspiring to continue furthering my education; and just as in the past, I plan to continue seeking trusted advice from Dr. Kaifi throughout this new leg of my journey. The dedication he has shown in helping aspiring educators like myself exemplifies his qualities as a professional and a man.

Dr. Belal Kaifi is someone who really cares about the progress and success of the people he works with. When I first began the long process of applying to universities it was quite stressful and I didn’t know where to start. It was the first time that I had sat down with Dr. Kaifi and I have to say it was the best decision I ever made. His help and advice helped me a lot throughout this long process. Once I started getting acceptance letters from universities it meant a lot that Dr. Kaifi had pushed me to set higher goals. He helped me better my personal statements and was there every step of the way when I needed help. I liked that he wouldn’t try to “sugar coat” his advice on how I could do better on my personal statements. I am happy to say that I have been accepted into a number of highly ranked universities on the west coast and east coast. It was Dr. Kaifi’s amazing advice that helped me decide where to start in fall 2018. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Belal Kaifi’s support and guidance!
