What Do Karin’s Clients Say?

Karin was a ray of sunshine in an otherwise anxiety-inducing journey that is graduate admissions. As a non-STEM major applying for a STEM graduate program, I knew I had to get all aspects of my application just right. Karin helped me to do that by carefully going over my application materials, suggesting edits and strategies, and generally answering any questions I had. Thanks to her help, I got into top MSCS programs, including Columbia and UChicago. I am incredibly happy with my result, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Karin’s help.
