If you're unsure about hiring Kelly as your counselor, take my word when I say: just do it. I had a 3.8 GPA (bottom 20% of Berkeley admits) and was applying for the single most impacted major at UC Berkeley, but I had motivation and a talent in writing. Kelly helped me channel that drive into my college essays and seriously gave me the confidence to submit the best I could to UC and the ivies. As a result, I got into Berkeley Haas GMP (1%), USC (9%), and got on the waitlists for Dartmouth and UChicago. Other counselors told me, "don't bother." Kelly did more than that, and it got me into my dream schools. Thank you Kelly, and to anybody reading this who's on the fence, again: just do it.

Annie has the central goal in mind of helping you succeed in your application pursuits through masterful storytelling and strategic guidance. She genuinely knows how to bring out the best in your story, helping you craft essays in a way that captivates admissions officers. Initially, I didn't think I had many academic or extracurricular efforts that would be appealing to colleges, but she helped me realize the true impacts and magnitude of my work through focused outlining and digging, allowing me to improve an essay from 10 measly words to 600 words with uncanny levels of breadth. When I was unsure of what to include or remove in my essay, we analyzed my values and how they resonate with the schools I was applying to, boosting reception even while on a tight word count limit. She keeps her clients accountable, tracking progress and setting clear deadlines and deliverables to ensure the utmost quality and effort shine through in the components of your application. Her unmatched flexibility and understanding is a crucial aspect in my busy schedule that is crammed with AP courses and extracurricular activities. I wholeheartedly recommend Annie for any application or career pursuit out there because she can help turn your story into magic with the snap of a finger.
