Sample testimonials:We have had such a great experience with Kirsten and Collegewise. They have worked so hard to keep Colin focused on his essays, applications, and provided incredible feedback on his drafts. She let his individuality shine in his writing, and we think that had so much to do with his getting accepted to Brown. Kirsten showed great warmth, compassion, and insight during the whole process and made Colin feel like he had a second family. Thank you, Kirsten and Collegewise! You have played such a big part in getting Colin into the college of his choice and starting him down the road to future success.Ken and Kimberly Wire, ParentsBrown UniversityKirsten is the college counselor of your dreams! She's got it all. From the beginning of the process, she is enthusiastic and supportive. She held my daughter's hand and held her accountable—not an easy feat, but one Kirsten manages perfectly. Kirsten's knowledge, enthusiasm, and hard work helped our daughter navigate through the difficult and sometimes frustrating process of college admissions. We cannot recommend her more highly and now consider her part of the family. Rarely do you find the combination of warmth, professionalism, and drive that Kirsten offers. I would say we are going to miss her, but our son is meeting with her next month.Robin Finn, ParentWesleyan University
