Wholehearted Endorsement for Karen Kimball!!**

We have two daughters and partnered with Collegewise for both their college counseling needs, experiencing outstanding support from Karen Kimball in uniquely different ways.Karen wasn’t the first counselor assigned to our eldest daughterinstead, she was brought on board to step in and stabilize the process. She excelled so much that we specifically requested her services for our second daughter.As the main counselor for our thoughtful and analytical 17-year-old, Karen was exceptional. The main challenge wasnt a lack of motivation but encouraging our daughter to open up and effectively market herself. Their relationship blossomed, allowing our introspective daughter to set aside her reservations. Under Karens guidance, she crafted deeply personal statements and supplementary essays that truly highlighted her strengths for the first time.Given that our daughters have contrasting personalitiesone extroverted and the other introvertedthe right counselor fit was always a top priority for us. We initially thought we would need two different counselors to meet their individual needs. Surprisingly, Karen managed to work seamlessly with both. She possesses a fantastic blend of knowledge, composure, intelligence, and humor that not only connects with teenagers but also genuinely motivates them. Whether organizing and inspiring our older daughter or resonating with our younger one, Karens ability to understand each of them was exactly what we hoped Collegewise would deliver.Throughout both counseling experiences, Karen kept us informed about progress toward key milestones while skillfully respecting our daughters desire to manage the process and maintain their independence. We wholeheartedly recommend Karen without any hesitation!
