Collegemind Across the Country:
Student Successes & Campus Connections

At Collegemind Counseling, every recommendation is grounded in first-hand knowledge and a deep understanding of the college landscape. This map highlights the colleges and universities where my students have been admitted — reflecting their hard work, growth, and success — as well as the campuses I've personally visited across the U.S. These visits allow me to gather on-the-ground insight into academic programs, campus culture, and student life, so I can better guide each student toward a college that's the right fit. Whether it's a large public university, a small liberal arts college, or something in between, each pin on this map represents a meaningful step in the Collegemind journey.

We used Kristen this past spring and summer to help my daughter, Elana, organize her goals for college, develop a strategy for applying, edit her essays, and generally stay on track with deadlines. Kristen has made all of this possible. She helped my daughter examine what she wanted to do after school, what she wanted to learn and what she was good at. Kristen was able to help Elana marry that with a list of schools that perfectly matched her needs. I never worried once about being on track or if we were making the right choices because Kristen kept me informed every step of the way. My daughter completed all of her college essays well before her deadline and now we are in the enviable position of being able to relax and wait for a reply. I can highly recommend Kristen Tarantola and her Collegemind service.
