Miller Independent Educational Consulting LLC

I went into the college process blind, with no idea what to get started on. Kristen helped me with course selection, scheduling, essay editing, and overall application framework. It’s made the looming task of college apps a lot less stressful and I recommend it to any high school students. Her flexible meetings allowed me to fit in time on the weekends and didn’t take away time from my school coursework. Overall, this is a great idea for students looking for help during this difficult time in their academic career. 

I would absolutely recommend Kristen as a college counselor. Kristen is attentive and helpful, skills that are important for an amazing college counselor. Kristen spends countless hours researching school, programs, and scholarships and has unlimited knowledge about the college system. Kristen was an asset in helping my applications and her guidance was extremely helpful. Again, I would highly recommend Kristen for a college counselor for anyone looking for all varieties of help.

Kristen has been the most amazing college counselor for our son. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a wonderful approach in how she provides needed support. By the time we discovered her, we were behind where we should have been in terms of college planning. She helped our son prioritize his list of colleges, created a schedule for him to remain on track, stepped him through the entire application process, had regular touch points to track progress, provided feedback on his essays, and was available for all his questions. He ended up having all of his applications submitted by October 15 and was accepted by multiple colleges within two weeks. Kristen was regarded by our son as such a strong supporter and partner that she was the first person he told when he received his first college acceptance!

FROM A PARENT'S PERSPECTIVE, THIS WAS OUR OLDEST CHILD SO WE FELT NAIVE ABOUT WHAT WE NEEDED. KRISTEN WAS A TREMENDOUS SUPPORT TO US AS WELL. I FELT LIKE A WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED AFTER OUR FIRST MEETING WITH HER. MOST IMPORTANTLY, SHE WAS THE ONE ADVISING OUR SON AND HOLDING HIM ACCOUNTABLE TO WHAT WAS NEEDED, WHICH ELIMINATED ALL POTENTIAL FRICTION BETWEEN OUR SON AND US! WE HAVE THREE MORE KIDS THAT WILL NEED COLLEGE COUNSELING AND I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE OTHER THAN KRISTEN SUPPORTING US THROUGH THIS PROCESS. THE ONLY THING WE WILL DO DIFFERENTLY THIS TIME IS START USING HER SERVICES EARLIER. I CAN'T RECOMMEND KRISTEN HIGHLY ENOUGH!

We knew from our initial meeting with Kristen that she was the perfect person to help us navigate the college process for our oldest son. As we began working together, she did a ton of research based on his interests and major ideas to help shape his college list and quickly responded to our questions. Kristen was easy to work with and helped streamline what could be a stressful process by setting up weekly check-ins, deadlines and providing great feedback on essays. This gave our son confidence to keep refining his applications knowing that Kristen would be there to help and make sure all details were handled before he hit send. Once responses from colleges started coming through, Kristen was very supportive and helped with financial aid ideas. Overall, I highly recommend working with Kristen Miller!
