Christina has been such an excellent guide throughout the entire search and application college process.

 

She was super helpful in helping me find schools that fit my specific criteria.

 

Her critiques of my essays added so much nuance and detail to really elevate them to a point where I felt like I was fully expressing myself through my applications.

Washington University in St. Louis 

Christina was instrumental in assisting me in submitting essays and a common app that demonstrated my strengths and helped me stand out as a unique individual. She aided me in narrowing down colleges that fit my criteria (major, minor, size) and exposed me to schools I might not have otherwise considered. Her experience and knowledge helped the most when it came to my essays. The schools to which I applied each required 1-2 supplemental essays beyond my personal statement. Christina's knowledge base is particularly pertinent as to what specific universities are seeking - the direction she provided was so valuable! I was able to provide her with drafts over the summer, receive timely feedback, and completed each of my essays so that I was able to submit all my applications by late September. This made the start to my senior year so much easier!

Christina is a God-send! Her expertise made her an invaluable resource to novice parents during our first son’s college application process and assured that he was admitted early action to his first choice school - University of Wisconsin - Madison. Turning the process over to her to keep our son on track with application deadlines saved countless ‘battles’ and headaches.

Christina helped my son keep his whole application so authentic to who he is. Even when I as a parent worried if this felt too “real” and not embellished at all like I have heard people do!! Huge huge thanks!!!!

Christina was amazing, especially her support with essay writing!

 

Sitting in India and trying to navigate US college admissions was tough, but Christina helped make the process so smooth. 

Piper

transfer applicant attending

The American University of Paris

I know myself, and I know how hard it is for me to motivate myself to do things I would rather just avoid. College applications and scholarships always stressed me out. All the different deadlines and weird requirements that I never remember seemed like too much to manage. The scheduled meetings with Christina and the set times to have things done, not just set by myself, but someone else, helped me feel accountable. Over all, working with Christina helped me stay motivated by having someone else hold me to my word to get things done. 

Christina demonstrated extensive knowledge of both the American and French application systems. I never would have gotten through the transfer application process if not for her expertise. She understood things I didn't even know existed, and she had a plan for every bump in the road that came about. I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work with her and the opportunities that have been opened up for me.

Law School 

Fall 2026

Working with Christina was one of the best decisions I made throughout both my undergraduate and law school application processes. She advised me when I applied to college and later again when I applied to law school, and her guidance made such a difference both times.

​

With her help, I was admitted to the University of Michigan for undergrad and later to Cornell Law School. Both schools are perfect fits for me, and I truly do not think I would have felt as confident in my applications without Christina's support.

​

She has an incredible ability to help students tell their stories in a way that feels authentic, polished, and compelling. Her editing skills are amazing, and she knew exactly how to strengthen my essays while still making sure they sounded like me. She paid attention to every detail, helped me highlight the strongest parts of my experiences, and made my applications feel complete.

​

Christina is genuinely invested in her students' success. I am so grateful for all of her help and would recommend her to anyone applying to college, graduate school, or law school.

Duke University

Christina is fantastic! The summer before my senior year, I had no knowledge of the college admissions process. Christina helped me research and build a college list and map out tours to decide on which schools I would apply to. By fall, she helped me brainstorm, develop, and edit a unique personal statement, as well as fill out the rest of the application. She helped me utilize spaces of the Common Application to highlight every aspect of my academic, extracurricular, and personal achievements and end with the best product possible.

Working with Christina was incredibly helpful! She guided me through each step of the college application process, assisting me with narrowing down the colleges I would apply to, drafting my common app essay, as well as editing the other numerous essays I wrote throughout the college application process. She was always there to pitch in insightful ideas and added a terrific perspective to the college admissions process. Ultimately, I am now choosing between Brown and Cornell university, I reality I wouldn’t have thought possible without the help of Christina!
