Craft applications that showcase your strengths to the best universities in the US, UK, and Canada.
Hi, I'm Kimberly VanderWeert.
And I have a singular mission: your success.
As a globally sought-after consultant with over thirteen years of experience in college and university admissions counseling, I help students like you optimize their applications and successfully enroll in their top-choice institutions.
My philosophy is that students succeed with individualized, hands-on support throughout the entire application process. That's why we:
-
Accept only a small number of clients - so we can offer attentive, targeted assistance
-
Provide holistic family support - from encouraging students and holding them to deadlines to keeping parents well-informed and confident in their child's success
-
Strategically build comprehensive applications - based on our insider-knowledge and experience as former admissions officers and graduates of top universities.

FINAL STEPS
We get to know the applicant's individual talents, passion, goals, and background. The applicant and his or her family get to tap into our expertise. This meeting sets the groundwork for a strong working relationship and allows us to begin crafting a personalized roadmap to university.
We skillfully pull out the applicant's strengths and potential through an individualized profile development plan and a step-by-step, goal-driven guide through the application process. By starting with a strategy, we can tackle the application materials with focus and purpose.
We systematically guide the applicant and his or her family through their action plan to develop highly-impactful applications. We ensure the applicant's academic excellence, unique skills, personal values, and interests are highlighted to grab the attention of each admissions officer and surpass the competition.
As acceptances pour in, we work with the applicant and his or her family to weigh offers and make a final school decision. We help applicants finalize their spots on campus and ease the transition to a new academic environment by serving as a university mentor for the first year.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY:
