Testimonials

Kate is the BEST, and I want to share my story because I feel that it highlights who she is as a college counselor and as a person. After working with three different counselors over the course of three years, I know that Kate was the one I should have been with all along. My second semester of freshman year at Tufts University, I decided that I wanted to try and transfer out. Kate was working with my younger brother at the time. I cannot stress how lucky I was to have Kate. She helped me come up with a list of new schools, write my personal statement and supplements, fill out my Common App, and keep me on track. I would keep her updated on what I had worked on that day, and she would go online and give me feedback right away. That year I got into Emory, but decided to stay at Tufts. Fast forward to my first semester of sophomore year and I was miserable… read more…

Kate worked with my twin boys to help them get focused on their college applications and essays. The goal was to have their common applications and essays completed before returning to boarding school in the fall.  Kate was a motivational force and had the patience to devote time to each boy and help him find his “voice” and tell his story. Both boys have very different learning styles and interests and Kate was able to identify their strengths and help them zero in on what was important to them in the college search. Kate was extremely professional, worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help the boys craft strong applications. She went above and beyond and helped them work on their resumes, too, which also was helpful in securing summer jobs. Both boys ended up getting accepted into their first choice schools. And we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Lindseth Education Consulting was infinitely helpful in assisting me when I was applying to a Masters program at Christies Education in New York. Her insight into analyzing the program and helping me find what schools and classes would be best for me and my goals, was integral in me making a decision as to where I wanted to go. Kate was able to look at my resume and help me tie my past work into all the aspects of the program I am attending and how exactly each class would give me the tools to pursue my interests further. Even though I am living in Chicago, and Lindseth Education Consulting is located in New Jersey, It was very easy to communicate and work with Kate! It was very easy to set up phone appointments to talk at length about the writing assignments I had to complete for my application. I had a very tight deadline for getting my application finished and submitted, and I can honestly say if it were for everything Kate did, I wouldn’t have met that deadline.

Mrs. Lindseth was the best gift I could have hoped for in my college application process. She was with me every step of the way from learning about my thoughts and goals to helping me brainstorm and write my college essays. The Individualized time that I had with her cleared up all my questions and concerns. I also saw great improvement in my writing skills throughout my coaching. Without a doubt, I would not have gotten into one of my reach schools, USC, if I did not have Mrs. Lindseth’s help. Thank you so much Mrs. Lindseth you are a life saver!

Kate Lindseth was an invaluable asset to my daughter as she began her college search. Practical and pragmatic, and incredibly wise, Kate really got to know my daughter’s strengths and interests and was instrumental as our daughter refined her list of potential schools. She helped her stay on schedule and prioritize everything, especially at busy times during her senior fall. Importantly, my daughter developed a strong bond of trust and an enduring friendship with her. Kate is extremely accessible and is adept at being able to reduce the stress of the process by intermediating between anxious parents and their child. As parents, my husband and I sensed that Kate was completely vested in our daughter throughout the entire endeavor. For that, we will always be grateful and we would recommend her highly.

I decided to transfer from my current university this year, and I could not have gone through this process without Kate. I was reluctant to start the college process all over again, and Kate was quick to motivate me which was crucial as I was still busy with my assignments. With a new perspective on what I now wanted for college, she helped me narrow down my list and kept me on schedule. She was there for me every step of the way and gave me great guidance. Kate is a great friend and I am so grateful for everything that she has done for me this year.
