What Do Kelly’s Clients Say?

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kelly Wilson. She helped me submit the best version of myself and got a full scholarship with a stipend on a top 20 school. Given my profile and stats I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. I am happy to say that I got accepted at 3 of the 4 schools I applied and got significant scholarships. Highly recommend working with her.
