High Praise From Past Clients:

Thank you for all of your help through this process, and especially during this insane pandemic! I would not have been able to get through all of this without you!

Thanks Kristen. We all very much appreciate your continued support of K’s goals and aspirations. It has been a tremendously reassuring experience to have you in his corner.

Our main fear was being pegged into a slot based on short answers to the college app questions. After speaking with Kristen, it is clear this will not be the case and that this will be a fresh start. I never had any doubts about the quality and accuracy of your advice. I should add that although my interaction with Heidi was brief (sadly, we didn’t come across her until too late in the day), I was very impressed. You’re all solid.

We thought you might enjoy seeing R at the end of one chapter that you helped make possible. He graduated from Penn summa cum laude with double majors and a minor and received recognition for four prizes / grants / fellowships. What he achieved was way above and beyond our expectations. He has attributed on many occasions his academic success to the rigors you put him through in the college application process. Our heart-felt gratitude, always.

Admissions went really well, and I ended up choosing WashU for my graduate studies! I’m currently taking a pre-semester 3-week studio that definitely has me working, but I absolutely love the school!! Thank you so much for all of your help through the process of making it here, I certainly couldn’t have done it without your guidance.
