WHY MY ADMISSIONS SHERPA?
Mother of Jackson
"We were surprised by how much college admissions had changed since we went to school! With Kate's guidance, we were able to create a list of great schools that met our son's wants and needs. She was very accessible and helped him every step of the way. Kate provided weekly consults, essay editing, resume and application support, and made sure that all of his deadlines were met. We couldn't have done it without her help. Kate was our secret weapon!"
Mother of Stephanie
"Jenny’s knowledge of the college application process and her ability to connect with my daughter helped make applying to colleges a lot less stressful for both myself and my daughter. She guided Stephanie from the beginning, helping her narrow down schools that were a good match to reminding her of deadlines and proofing her essays. She was the first person my daughter called when she received her acceptance letter from her top choice school! I was so grateful for her experience and guidance during this overwhelming time."
Kim
"What I felt was so valuable about Kate and Jen's workshop was the fact that it gave so much information in an organized, comprehensive presentation. They touched on everything of importance, and really took time to address questions and speak to people's individual concerns."
