Testimonials
“I'm so grateful for your support and dedication throughout this process, and I'm excited to say that I'll be attending Stanford University in the fall! Thank you so much for working with me throughout this process, I really appreciate all the time you spent looking over my essays, researching the best ways I could approach the college application process itself, and helping me keep track of deadlines and things to take care of. You made such a huge impact on my college application process and having you as a person to come to helped me significantly while navigating everything that felt overwhelming at the beginning. I loved getting to do Zoom meetings with you, as well as reading the comments on my essays, especially on the UC PIQs as the time came closer to submitting them. Honestly, I can't think of a better person to have helped me!”

“Katie will go the extra mile for you. She truly cares about her students and will dedicate a lot of time to you and helping you. She is not only qualified to help, but is understanding, consistent, considerate, and supportive in many ways. She will make you realize why colleges should be honored to hear your story and validate your hard work. Having someone qualified to hear my story and help me understand how important my story is and why colleges should feel honored to have me was a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed having someone who not only understands the entire admissions process, but also understands how unnecessarily difficult and complicated it can often be for young students who just want to pursue their education. I’m really grateful to have someone who was always more than willing to help me and answer any of my questions. Sometimes applying for college can be the most stressful thing a high school student can experience, and Katie made it a lot easier in many ways. Since she was always so willing to help, it motivated me to work harder.”

“I was overwhelmed with the college process! Having you organize the process was so helpful. It was great to understand the deadlines and have a plan of action. I loved our conversations and the fact that you really tried to get to know our daughter and understand her needs, which was not an easy task since she seemed to like everything! Also, I was very appreciative of you reviewing her essays! It helped to have you to keep her on track versus us! It helped make our family life easier! You were so kind and caring and made her feel good about herself which was great! We interviewed another college counselor prior to you who made her feel bad about all the time she spent in the arts if she wasn't going to pursue that as a major. Whereas you made her feel like it was something that made her unique and helped her stand out. I really appreciated that!”

“I thought my husband and I could work with Caroline to get through her applications, but once we started getting into the finer details of what various colleges are looking for, we began to feel overwhelmed. You helped Caroline approach the process more strategically, using the data and experiential knowledge you have. Working with you gave our daughter perspective throughout the process and definitely alleviated some of the stress for us. We really appreciate how responsive you were. Direct quote from Caroline, 'I don't know what I would have done without Katie.’ She really enjoyed working with you and respected your input.”
