What Clients Say
“Keri was invaluable to my daughter and to my husband and I throughout the college process. Of course she expertly crafted a list of schools that we should be exploring. Of course she kept us on track and even ahead of schedule for all tasks, essays and submissions and of course her response time was above and beyond fast. But what made Keri truly remarkable was the connection that she crafted with my daughter. My daughter trusted her, counted on her and felt comfortable reaching out to Keri at all times. Keri was the first call when my daughter was feeling worried or stressed out about anything college related, and Keri was the first call my daughter made after getting into her dream school in October. Because of this relationship, when they had their brainstorming sessions leading up to my daughter writing both her personal essay and supplements, Keri was able to extract from my daughter all of her best qualities, her unique personality and views, and her passions and interest in a truly incredible fashion. This talent led to essays that were truly genuine, had my daughter’s voice and could only have been written by and about her. We can’t wait to use Keri for our other two children in a few years!”
“I truly can’t say enough good things about Keri. From our very first meeting, I knew we had struck gold, and she delivered every step of the way. She is personable, kind, incredibly smart, knowledgeable, funny, and deeply perceptive. Keri guided my daughter through the entire college process with thoughtful guidance, patience, and many valuable teaching moments. From school selection to applications to essays, she excelled in every aspect. Even when tough decisions arose, Keri offered grounded advice and life perspective, not just expert counseling. We had previously worked with a large college counseling company with my older daughter, and this experience was the complete opposite. Keri combines exceptional expertise with genuine care for each student. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her is truly fortunate.”
“I was fortunate enough to use Keri Levin for all 3 of my kids. If you are looking for someone who has the uncanny ability to connect with kids and bring out the best in them, look no further. She really gets kids to open up and is then able to create a custom tailored list of schools that specifically meet their criteria. There is no one better equipped to help your child write their essay. I was amazed that she really got to the heart of what made each of my kids special and was able to help them bring that out in each of their essays. She is beyond available for them, guiding, motivating, and supporting them (as well as the parent!) through the entire process. She made it so easy for all of us, removing the worry and stress. There is no one better to guide you and your child through this difficult process and actually make it enjoyable.”
“Having just moved my second son into the University of Miami, I left feeling so lucky that he was settling in to the perfect school for him. Although it was so difficult to say goodbye, I just know the atmosphere, academics and overall school environment is just the right fit for him. We could not imagine going through this process of selecting and applying to college without Keri's guidance and support. She had such an incredible sense of my son, who he was and what he was looking for. Thank you Keri for taking us through this stressful process in your magical way that made it less daunting and at times even enjoyable. I know my son is exactly where he needs to be!”
“Keri is the best. We speak from experience as she has guided our daughter, now a senior at an elite college in their business school, our niece a senior in HS and our son in the coming weeks. Keri’s exceptionalism in getting kids ready for college is not just in helping kids pick the right schools and helping them with their essay, Keri connects and relates to kids in ways that other professionals can only hope to achieve. Kids do not have to be forced to meet with Keri on a regular basis and meet their deadlines, they want to see her and express themselves to her in ways that bring forth words that make up their essays. She takes all the stress out of the college application process.”
“We would not have gotten through the college process without Keri. She took a difficult, confusing and overwhelming time and led us through it step by step. She is extremely knowledgeable and guided and supported both of my children with humor, kindness and warmth. From college lists to applications and essays, she did it all. Keri gave them the confidence they needed to express themselves and the push they needed to get their applications and essays done. She kept them on track and organized and made the process manageable and stress-free. Keri was responsive, informative, helpful and truly connected with my children. Keri is passionate about this process which is evident from the moment you meet her. Both of my children got into their ED schools. Using Keri is without a doubt, the best and easiest decision we ever made!”
“Keri Levin helped guide our family through the complicated and at times overwhelming college application process. Her help and knowledge were invaluable in matching our two boys with schools that were good fits for each of them. They were both accepted to and are attending their first choice colleges. Keri’s personalized help in every aspect of the process was greatly appreciated.”
“Keri has a special way. Not only does she understand the college application process, but she also understands the college applicant. I am convinced that this combination is what makes her so effective. In addition, Keri is dedicated, tireless, authentic, creative and savvy. Some people dread the college application process, but as a parent of three, I am thankful to have multiple opportunities to work with Keri. My oldest was accepted to the college of her choosing, but that is not what made the experience a success. My daughter learned many new skills, got lots of valuable advice and acquired a life-long advocate in the process. Keri is not only a coach, but also a fan.”
