NORTH STAR ADMISSIONS CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Karen was AMAZING and extra supportive throughout my entire application process.
“Karen was AMAZING and extra supportive throughout my entire application process. I was on a tight timeline applying to three schools, and she helped me feel prepared and supported constantly throughout every step. From early brainstorming about my career story, to multiple rounds of essay edits, resume reviews, interview prep, and scholarship negotiations, I would not have been able to feel as confident in my application without the support. She was extremely efficient with both her time and mine, always kept things moving, was extremely thorough, and made the whole process feel less daunting and approachable. Plus, her rates are very affordable. I would highly recommend her services to anyone going through the app cycle.”
Working with Karen is the best investment you can make for your future!
I worked with Karen on short notice for a mock interview—she scheduled time with me the same day I reached out and was incredibly flexible. Her positivity and optimism are contagious, and she gave me the confidence I needed to excel in my interview. Compared to other consultants, Karen stands out for her thoughtfulness and insight. She has a unique ability to quickly understand her clients and help shape their stories into something truly impactful. Working with Karen was the most valuable part of my application process, and I firmly believe it made the difference in getting into my top-choice.
As a re-applicant, heading into the second application cycle was very overwhelming.
“She was kind and direct and it made all the difference. We worked through every aspect of the application and I got accepted into Cornell with a 60K scholarship and to Carnegie Mellon with a 100K scholarship! I am so happy I had the opportunity to work with Karen and would recommend her to all applicants (and re-applicants!).”
As a re-applicant, heading into the second application cycle was very overwhelming. I had gotten a significant number of interviews during my first cycle so I was definitely feeling a bit lost as to why I only had one acceptance. I knew I needed someone with experience in the MBA application process to help me improve my application. Karen worked with me to help me narrow down the schools, taking into account my profile as well as what I wanted out of my MBA experience.
I also knew I needed some feedback to help me improve. Giving feedback can be a tough conversation, but Karen navigated it perfectly. She was kind and direct and it made all the difference. We worked through every aspect of the application and I got accepted into Cornell with a 60K scholarship and to Carnegie Mellon with a 100K scholarship! I am so happy I had the opportunity to work with Karen and would recommend her to all applicants (and re-applicants!).
