College Karin Reviews

"Mrs. Moffitt is the go-to expert for college questions, her understanding of the college application process is simply unparalleled. Questions about financial aid, need-based or merit-based scholarships, fly in programs or how to best describe student activities on college applications are met with Karin’s full attention and depth of knowledge. In the years I have known Mrs. Moffitt, I have come across very few questions she does not already have an answer to, but if that rare occasion does occur, she knows exactly who to contact to get the question resolved."

"Your insights, recommendations, and yes, even persistent requests enabled me to develop a strong college application, but more importantly enriched my life and nudged me into a career interest."

“I cannot find the words to thank you enough for the help you have provided me over the years. It seems like you have an infinite amount of knowledge and advice regarding what to do in life after high school and it’s an honor to receive that from you."

"Thank you for encouraging me to explore my options. Thank you for helping me open up so many opportunities. Without your guidance, I’d still be at home, I’d still be confused about the whole college thing, and I wouldn’t have taken initiative and taken advantage of many opportunities. I’ve learned about taking chances, about confidence, and about the strengths and the determination that I never knew I had. Thank you for helping me grow not only as a student, but as a person as well. I credit you greatly for my future college successes. Thank you for being such a great counselor and helping me navigate our options and sending us down the right path. "

“Over the past three years, it is my belief that your efforts have played a larger part in my success as a student than any single teacher or faculty member. Thank you for the countless an unmentioned hours that you spent scouring the earth for information on colleges, testing, and extracurriculars."

"Counselor Karin is an enthusiastic college counselor and knows her stuff! We have used her as a resource since my daughter decided when she was 8 years old that Stanford was her dream school!"

"I would not be where I am today if it were not for you. Thank you for helping guide me to the perfect college for me! I am so lucky and grateful to have had you on my side in the college admissions process. Your help was truly invaluable."

“Thank you so much for encouraging me and helping me achieve my goals. I would not be the person I am today without you. Thank you for helping me find and apply for summer programs and other extracurriculars. Thank you for everything!”

"Mrs. Moffitt’s efforts, indefatigable energy, and seemingly endless work with seniors is unparalleled. I say this with some certainly as I’ve been talking with parents of seniors at other schools and Mrs. Moffitt’s level of professionalism combined with personal care and commitment to the success of of the students is remarkable and beyond compare. We were truly lucky to have her guide our son as he embarked on hiss academic career."

"From the beginning of the college-going process, Karin works with both parents and students to ensure they are confident and comfortable. Karin meets with parents and the student to gain a better understanding of the expectations of each party. My husband, daughter, and I met with Mrs. Moffitt midway through our daughter’s junior year. This 45-minute meeting gave us a thorough understanding of the college application process and left our daughter armed with a game plan that would ultimately highlight her talents in a way she could not have done without Karin’s input. Mrs. Moffitt understands the college admissions process and how to parley individual student strengths into college admission offers."

“Everything we heard about Mrs. Moffitt was true. We were told to just do what she tells us when it comes to applying to colleges and universities. And it worked… we just returned from dropping our son off at Dartmouth. He worked very hard following Mrs. Moffitt’s instruction, and she was there for him throughout his high school years, giving advice and providing guidance.”

"I largely attribute the reason I got into a top college debt-free to Mrs. Moffitt. As a first generation college student, I didn’t know much about the college applications process. From my freshman year of high school, she became a primary contact for me and my parents when it came to planning out my roadmap to college. She recommended classes, extracurriculars, tests, scholarships, and critiqued many of my essays. With her help and friendly encouragement, I was able to land a full-ride scholarship to Tufts University through the Questbridge National College Match. I spent four wonderful years at Tufts and just graduated with a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering this May. Mrs. Moffitt is a big part of where I am today. She’s been a great pleasure to work with and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking to go to a good university."

”Mrs. Moffitt was very helpful in the college admissions process. She knew when to encourage students to do more and when to reassure students who were doing too much. She helped me figure out my extracurricular and summer camps which helped build my resume. She was always there to answer any questions we had and was always on top of deadlines. Mrs. Moffitt was also very helpful with standardized testing. Because of her encouragement, I was motivated to study for the PSAT, became a National Merit Finalist, and received the National Merit Scholarship in addition to many other scholarship offers!”

"We really appreciate you and the hard work you do for everyone and I’m not sure where I’d be without your guidance! You’ve helped my find amazing opportunities to getting into great places and I really owe it to you!”

"Ms. Moffitt entirely dedicates herself to the success of her students. She never uses a one-size-fits-all approach; instead she gets to know the student's passions and quirks. This one on one relationship makes sure she is able to give the best options to every student she comes across. Anyone who has the privilege of being helped by Ms. Moffitt is in exceedingly good hands."

“No words can express our admiration and gratitude! You are our angel, fairy and mentor!”

“Thank you for everything you do. Your hard work has changed my life (and many others!). You are not only appreciated by me but also by my whole family. I know it comes naturally for you but your encouragement and how you believe in us really helps me to the extra mile. Thanks you so much.”

“Thank you for helping us to push through all the testings and college applications. Your dedication has been unbelievably helpful to us in this process.”

"I can say with certainty, that were it not for your help, I would neither have served as chair of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Commission, nor on the city’s Genenar Plan Community Group, for which I was appointed for my service.”

“Thank you for all of your help this past year. None of us would have any idea what we are doing in regards to college if you weren’t there helping us through.”

"You know how to tell students to try to reach their dreams while keeping them grounded and focused on a plan. I truly appreciate all of the work you put into reading essays, researching summer programs, emailing me about scholarships,and everything else. Whenever you come up in conversation, we always talk about how kind and helpful you are. Thank you for believing in me!"

"Mrs. Moffitt tracks individual student college acceptances and scholarship receipts with pride and excitement. Each student and family make college decisions based on their personal situation and Karin celebrates those decisions but does not influence them. Mrs. Moffitt is a cheerleader for the student in the college-going process, understands the magnitude of the decision for the family, and is a trusted resource along the way. I simply couldn’t imagine going through the college application and scholarship process without her by our side."

“The words thank you do not seem like enough to express our gratitude for all you do. You are a huge part of Griffin’s success in finding the right college. We truly appreciate you.”

“Thank you for your hard work and dedication towards our college futures. Without you, I would be so lost in the bottomless pit of college requirements and deadlines, and I truly appreciate all you have done.”

“Thank you for your unconditional support and wise guidance helping us with everything.”

"“I can’t tell you how much I, as well as my parents, have appreciated your help and guidance the past few years. The amount of good advice and assistance in terms of college searching and school stuff in general is beyond repayable!"

“I appreciate you so much as a college counselor and as a person. Your positive attitude is always something great to see. Without you, I probably wouldn’t have been able to accomplish any of my college goals. Thank you for always being there to talk with me!”

"With Mrs. Moffitt’s suggestions and guidance on applications, I was accepted at Princeton’s Arts and Humanities Symposium and University of Chicago’s Student Leadership Institute! I would have never even heard about these programs from my regular school counselors.
With so many great experiences, classes, and connections from those programs, I am now pursuing my dreams in the prestigious BFA Musical Theatre program at University of Arizona on a full scholarship!"

"Ms. Moffitt entirely dedicates herself to the success of her students. She never uses a one-size-fits-all approach; instead she gets to know the student's passions and quirks. This one on one relationship makes sure she is able to give the best options to every student she comes across. Anyone who has the privilege of being helped by Ms. Moffitt is in exceedingly good hands."

“I can’t express how grateful and blessed I am to have had your guidance in my academic pursuits. I don’t think that without your help in college searching and test taking I could have gotten to where I am today. I would have been so lost on my own!”

"Mrs. Moffitt is one of the best resources through the college application process! She helped my classmates and I get into prestigious schools and obtain large scholarships. Without her guidance, applying to college would be like walking in the dark: possible, but with lots of unseen obstacles. Mrs. Moffitt is always available when needed and she will help tailor your application to your individual interests and help you to understand what is missing. Thank you, Mrs. Moffitt!"

"Mrs. Moffitt takes the time to get to know the students she is working with. She knows their intended majors, the activities in which they participate, and their family background. This is important because as she becomes aware of different scholarships and programs, she can send them to the students with whom they most align. Mrs. Moffitt sent my daughter multiple private scholarship opportunities that matched her interests and personal characteristics, resulting in the receipt of four private merit scholarships and a university merit scholarship that, in total, cover more than her entire cost of attendance (tuition plus room and board)! So she is now “making money” going to college! My son benefitted from Mrs. Moffitt’s expertise as well and qualified for a full-tuition merit scholarship and two private scholarships to pay for room and board. "

"I now have the opportunity to do go somewhere I want to be and pursue fields of study I’m passionate about! I honestly cannot believe it’s happening! I owe it to you. It’s also been a pleasure knowing you as well. You’re a very warm, friendly person."
