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.
