What Do Karin's Clients Say About Her?

I got my first acceptance at XXX for their CS doctoral program! ...

Lastly, thank you so much Karin! You preserved my confidence by not letting my doubts get in the way. Additionally, you gave me lasting essay writing advice and writing.... I can say that I've used what I learned from our sessions everyday -- heck, I would have benefited from more writing sessions. These lifelong skills helped me write a final SoP that communicated my motivation, love, and strengths. I'm actually quite proud of it... Thank you a ton!

When I first considered applying to graduate programs, I was worried that my low undergraduate GPA and lack of research experience would prevent me from being admitted into a good program. Dr. Ash was extremely patient and took time to get to know me, my academic history and career goals and helped me to write strong statements of purpose that conveyed my strengths as an applicant. Her input and review of my statements allowed me to be representative of my own experiences and goals, but also to do so in a way that catered to the program that I was applying to. With her help and support, I was accepted into all of the programs that I applied to, including the Quantitative Analytics in Education program at the University of Virginia and the Learning Analytics program at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. It was truly a privilege to work with Dr. Ash, and her guidance was invaluable to my application experience!

Dr Ash has been very helpful and supportive throughout the process from helping me brainstorm ideas to editing the final essay. She has been very patient with all of my questions and has sought answers from multiple sources in order to solve my problems. Because we have 13 hours difference between us, we primarily communicated through email, but it did not cause any delays. Dr Ash is incredibly efficient in email communication.

Irrespective of if I get into my choice school or not, I would never have had the confidence to actually apply if you had not pushed me. You were with me every step of the way, constantly telling me what my strengths are, how I should play to them, what the admissions committee will be looking for and more. You have helped me with my essays, refined my CV, and encouraged me.  Thank you so much for all your help.

Indeed my discussion with Karin Ash was a game changer.

I just got the admission email for University of California - Berkeley, world’s best civil engineering graduate program!!!!! Thank you so much Dr. Ash and Linda. :) -- Also accepted to Texas A&M and Carnegie Mellon
