Testimonials
“I wanted to extend my immense gratitude for the instrumental role you have played in helping me to navigate this college admissions process. I was able to not only learn how to craft a strong application, but most of all how to impart my personal voice in my writing skills in a way I had never done before. I’m proud to report that I was accepted into my first choice of university in the U.S.” ~ Student, Calgary, AB
“Thank you for helping [my son] with all of his college stuff. The process was easier thanks to you!” ~ Parent, Calgary, AB
“Thank you so much for everything you do. You saved my future life repeatedly through advice, support and an actual understanding of how the Common App works. I would not have been able to get nearly this far without your help. Not only this, but you are one of the most kind and easygoing people I have ever met, and your calm in the face of so much teenage stress and angst was incredible. Thank you for your humor (I will never forget your cat’s Common App), thank you for your unwavering support and kindness during one of the most stressful times of my life, and thank you for simply doing what you do- it’s invaluable to your students and has made my future even brighter!” ~ Student, Minneapolis, MN
“THANK YOU SO MUCH! Thank you for all you have done this year for me. This has been, by far, the most challenging time in my life and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without you. I am so grateful to have had you and your wisdom in my time of justified (and unjustified) freak-outs. There is no way to thank you for preserving my sanity this year!”
~ Student, Minneapolis, MN
“Kate was instrumental in guiding my child through the college application process: keeping my child on task for all of the steps needed to complete the application process including the multiple essays, providing a tool that helped my child to stay organized, and most importantly providing guidance and promoting confidence in my child to express their authentic self. My husband and I are very happy to have found Kate and are extremely thankful for her college application process expertise and counseling service.” ~ Parent, Calgary, AB
“Just wanted to send a quick note to say how much we appreciated your help as he applied to colleges….I think back to that first meeting where we talked through the process. I was a clueless first-time college application process mom and he was completely insecure. He thought he needed to apply to [college] because it would be the only place that would accept him. He ended up being accepted to all 7 of 7 schools, and loves it at [college]. ” ~ Parent, Minneapolis, MN
“You have been so supportive and giving during the entire three years that we have worked with you. I always get the sense that you truly enjoy the work you do and are there to push your students toward success.” ~ Parent, Minneapolis, MN

Did you see some schools on this list you’ve never heard of before? Of the over 4,000 colleges and universities in the US alone, it’s easy to focus on the 15-20 ones that appear in the most publicized rankings or are prominent in college sports. There are many hidden gems to consider if your goal is to maximize your college experience! I’d recommend checking out Colleges that Change Lives or the Claremont College Consortium for two excellent examples of why you don’t want to miss out on schools you may never have heard of!
“You have been a great support for all of our children. [Student] is typically not comfortable sharing his thoughts and feelings. You helped to put him at ease and put one step in front of the other….much as we miss him being around, we are thrilled to see him so happy and confident….you have been a beacon of support and positive energy. Thank you so much!”
