“Karen has been a wonderful adviser to have through this complex application process. I made the mistake of not reaching out to her until I was almost ready to submit my application, but I dramatically improved my essays after talking with her. Applying to school is really about fit, and Karen does not overlook this essential aspect of your application. Karen has a rare gift of being a skilled listener, and she forced me to drill down my statements to emphasize my core values and challenged me to present my ideas in new ways. I am positive that my applications would not have been as strong without Karen. What I really appreciated the most about Karen was her honest feedback. I took my GMAT two weeks before application deadlines and was devastated that I did not reach my target score and was below the average for most of my target programs. With her encouragement, I applied and received three acceptances, including one from my dream school! I loved the fact that Karen never felt the need to sugarcoat any situation but always gave great advice that calmed me down when I was stressed. Her responses to any questions were always immediate and effective. If you work with Karen, you will instantly feel how much she genuinely cares about your success!”
