“Thank you so much for all your help with the college application process. I was very nervous about managing the workload of writing all of the supplemental essays for each college in addition to the Common App essay. Your advice and support helped me to create a work plan and stay on track even wile I was busy with all my other senior year responsibilities.
I also really appreciated how quickly you responded to my questions and provided feedback when I needed it. You also really encouraged me to find my own voice while writing so my essays clearly reflected my ideas and thoughts. Thank you again. You made the stressful process so much easier.”
A very belated THANK YOU for all that you’ve done to help our daughter navigate the college admission process.
Compared to her friends, I think she had the smoothest, least stressful, and drama-free application process and that is absolutely due to how your thoughtful and compassionate guidance/coaching. And because she wasn’t stressed out, we weren’t stressed out!
Kiersten was incredibly helpful in narrowing down my choices before applying and going over my options after being accepted. I could not have written an essay half as good if Kiersten wasn’t there to guide me and help me stay on schedule. Her expertise was crucial for me getting into many of the colleges I was accepted at, including Boston College.
Kiersten’s advice, guidance, patience and honesty throughout the process was invaluable. She was especially responsive to my daughter for last minute application questions and final college decisions.
Additionally, Kiersten effectively organizes her students to manage the complicated application so that is less overwhelming. I highly recommend her services!
Chapman is more than I could have hoped for and I’m having the best time of my life with amazing new friends and professors. I couldn’t have done it without you and it’s perfect here! Thanks a million!
I would like to say thank you so much for your support. Both my mom and I are so grateful for all the amazing help. We don’t know what we would have done without you. Being here now and looking back on the application process, I am so thankful for all of the ways that you helped me. It truly made the whole process so much less stressful and led to me being extremely happy with where I am at.
It is a very humbling feeling looking back on all of the work that went into my applications, but I could not be more thankful for where that work has gotten me. Thank you so much for helping me find a place that has such a positive atmosphere, and continually makes me so happy.
In working with both my parents and me extensively, Mrs. Murphy was able to personalize the application process to answer all of our concerns, to breach the cultural gap between the American college institutions and our ideas about them, and to ensure that the conclusion of the process yielded results that satisfied all of our expectations and hopes.
Going into my college search, I was clueless. Kiersten helped me figure out what I was looking for in a school. With her help, I found schools that were perfect for me. She also kept me on task while filling out all of the applications. Kiersten provided all the information and support I could ask for throughout the admissions process.
I would’ve never known about Carleton if it hadn’t been for you! Although ‘thank you’ doesn’t seem to suffice, I hope you know how immensely thankful I am for everything and more
Kiersten made the process easy. She truly listens to the student to identify their goals for college selection. Since both my students wanted to go out of state, she provided useful information for evaluating the options.
When we had questions, she provided honest answers to our inquiries enabling us to make informed decisions. Both my students are happy and learning invaluable life lessons at the universities of their choice thanks to Kiersten. I would highly recommend Kiersten.
Without the help I received from Kiersten, from finding schools I would be interested in, to the application process, I would not be where I am.
She streamlined the whole process and provided constant help and advice during the process. A lot of the stress of applying to colleges was eliminated and made the process nearly stress free for my parents.
Kiersten was an essential part of my college application process. Without her extensive guidance and personal effort into helping me discover what I wanted in a school, applying to college would have been a much more difficult and confusing experience.
Kiersten’s enthusiasm and dedication is invaluable and I can’t recommend it enough.
Kiersten was so helpful during the college application process, especially when it came to finding schools throughout the country that fit me. Her timeline really helped to keep me moving forward during the application process.
It can be a really stressful time, but without her, it would have been even more so. She helped me find my dream school and I couldn’t be happier!
My mom and I really appreciate your guidance throughout my high school career and college application process.
It’s been a long journey, but I’ve been able to get through it thanks to your help. And I’m looking forward to starting this new journey that is college
Mrs. Murphy’s knowledge about colleges and her ability to match students with schools is unbelievable.
I can’t thank her enough for all of her help. Her dedication and belief in me helped make my dreams come true.
Both of my older sisters had Kiersten as their counselor and so did I. I am so thankful to have had her help throughout my college application process. I felt like I had no idea what I was going to do about college until Kiersten helped me organize my thoughts.
Thank you so much for always being there for me and giving me advice. You made this process so much easier for me and opened the doors to so many different possibilities. With the amazing help from Kiersten, I am so excited to be attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Thank you so much! To all students and parents who are considering a college counselor, I would encourage Kiersten’s help, as it was so helpful and really made an impact in my application process.

I just want to say thank you for everything you’ve done to help me with this process over the last 10 months. I definitely would have been lost without your assistance and I really appreciate all the time you put in to help me come up with a list of colleges, brainstorm ideas, revise my essays, etc.
I’ve figured out what I want to do with my life over the last year or so and working through that with you has been a pleasure. Thank you so much for your time and everything you’ve done for me
Kiersten was an incredible asset to my college application process. She was patient, encouraging, and always attentive to my interests, finding colleges that would match my career goals and my personality. Although college applications are stressful, Kiersten created small, manageable tasks, and even when she had other commitments, she would be available for any questions or last-minute application advice. She also cares deeply about her clients and treats you as her equal without any sense of intimidation.
Kiersten’s positivity and organization allowed me to survive a senior year and her extensive knowledge about college admissions proved advantageous throughout each step, from making my college list, to completing applications, and finally selecting my college. I am so thankful to have worked with Kiersten and am thoroughly enjoying my time at Macalester College, a place I discovered with Kiersten’s help. To any future seniors, I would highly recommend Kiersten if you want to feel valued, supported, and to have a friend throughout this stressful period.

Thanks for all your help! It is so exciting getting these letters of acceptance and I could not have done all the applications and everything without you!
I can highly recommend Kiersten’s college search and application services. She has helped both my children over the last year expand their search, think clearly through their selection criteria, and importantly, help them through the application preparation and admission process.
As a result, both my kids had multiple great college choices and will attend their top choices this fall.
During my time spent with Kiersten I was able to accomplish all that I wanted to get done in my college application process in a more efficient manner than the rest of my friends, she pushed me when I was falling behind in my process and helped me to present myself to the college admissions boards in the best way possible.
I also got to know her on a personal level and enjoyed working with her, because it made this crazy process a lot less hectic for my parents and I.
Mrs. Murphy’s expertise and knowledge relieved my anxiety about the college admissions process and made it seem much less daunting.
Whenever I had any questions, I would immediately reach out to Mrs. Murphy, who consistently offered reassurance and guidance. I found myself to be much calmer and more prepared because of Mrs. Murphy’s incredible services..
