Working with Kelly was one of the best parts of my application process. She brought a thoughtful, strategic perspective to every aspect of my application, helping me strengthen not only my essays but also my resume, positioning, and overall narrative. Kelly has a deep understanding of the college admissions process and a remarkable ability to see the bigger picture, ensuring that every part of an application works together cohesively. Her guidance was insightful, encouraging, and practical. She helped me present my experiences with greater clarity and confidence while keeping the process focused and manageable. With her support, I was admitted as a transfer student to Harvard University. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for an admissions coach who combines strategic insight, genuine care, and a holistic approach to the application process.

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.

Courtney made the application process easier by answering all my questions and giving me essay help all the way from brainstorming to revising. Would definitely recommend!

We used Kelly for application and essay reviews for Stanford and other Top 20 schools. She provided very useful suggestions that improved my DC's applications. Highly recommend!
