ABOUT COLLEGE BY KAREN

College Admissions Counseling in Montana & Beyond

Planning for college is a unique, exciting opportunity for your child to shape and launch their future. As an independent educational consultant specializing in college admissions, I guide students of all aspirations through a creative, rewarding journey of self-discovery, empowering them to find and be accepted into the colleges where they will thrive.

Whether you are looking for an innovative liberal arts college, a spirited state university, have your sights set on the Ivy League, or want to explore the possibilities, I can help you get to the college that is the right academic, social and financial match for who you are now and who you want to become.

.

College admissions is more complex and competitive than ever, with one in four applicants using a college consultant like me to maximize their child’s college applications.  I understand how challenging it can be for families to navigate this journey independently. I strive to build long-lasting relationships with my family, working alongside them as an “expert friend” to create a collaborative admissions process that leads to success.

​

My supportive approach, expertise, and up-to-date knowledge will give you more time, less stress and anxiety, maximize your potential for scholarship funds, maintain a peaceful parent/child connection, and have fun as you make this exciting journey together.
 

While I am based in Montana, I work with students remotely worldwide. No matter where you are, I can help you!
