“Without question, working with Karen is what got me into business school.  Just a year prior, I applied on my own and was disheartened to be receive rejection after rejection.  Fast forward a year – I was offered admission or a spot on the waiting-list for all but one school that I applied to with Karen.  She provided a soup-to-nuts approach to the process, which was invaluable for somebody who had no idea what he was doing.  She helped me pick the best schools, she guided me through the applications/essays, and she prepared me for school visits – all with passion, energy and enthusiasm.  As a former graduate admissions officer, Karen has incredible insights that you won’t find elsewhere.  And beyond her qualifications, Karen was simply a pleasure to work with – always encouraging and instilling confidence in me throughout the process.  I would recommend Karen to anybody without hesitation.  Trust me, it’s worth it!”

“Working with Karen took essentially 100% of the stress out of the process for our family. Karen worked with us to develop an appropriate list of schools to visit and based on our initial visits very quickly got a sense of what our daughter was looking for in a school and who she is as a person. Karen had a ton of knowledge about school culture and was open about sharing her insights while still making our daughter feel that the choices she was making were her own. Karen and our daughter worked seamlessly to complete the Common App and the essays. With deadlines, our daughter was never playing catch-up or rushing to finish. As parents, we were able to remove ourselves from the application part of the process and be available to be available for the fun part – the school visits! While there are never any guarantees, our daughter did get accepted to her early decision choice and I believe that is because of her academic record, her application, and Karen’s help in finding a school that really felt like the right fit for our daughter.”

“Karen is professional and personable. She is continually keeping her clients’ needs in mind and wants to make them as successful as possible. Karen was also fun to work with! She demystified and clearly explained the entire grad school application process. She then worked proactively with me to set realistic timelines and regular check-ins to help achieve my goals.”
