"As a school counselor, I welcome the support that ApplyWise provides students and parents, and I especially appreciate how the program keeps the counselor involved in the process. The program speaks to students and addresses critical college admissions issues in a professional and accurate way 24/7. It¹s reassuring to me to know that students can get expert answers to their questions when a counselor is not available."

- Barbara Busch, College Liaison Counselor at Northport High School.

"I’ve reviewed many thousands of applications while I was Dean of Admissions at University of Pennsylvania and I’ve seen that the quality of a student's total admissions application is essential to ensuring a successful process. It’s not just about grades and test scores. The ApplyWise program provides a clearly presented format for students and parents to put together all the pieces of the application process for a successful admissions outcome—the advice is exceptionally informative and helpful. Students, parents and counselors should welcome and make full use of this valuable tool.”
- Lee Stetson, former Dean of Admissions University of Pennsylvania

"This is the first endorsement I have made of a product in the admissions field, other than a book. I am usually suspicious of gimmicks and magical roads to college, but I think this is a tool of high quality. It gives good advice and teaches students to think for themselves, rather than provide simple answers...I urge you to consider ApplyWise on its merits, as I have done."
- Jon Reider, Guidance Counselor and former Senior Admissions Officer Stanford University

"Katherine Cohen is one of the top independent counselors in the US. ApplyWise makes her expertise accessible to everyone anywhere, anytime, and gives students and parents excellent tools, information and strategy."
- John Katzman, Founder The Princeton Review

"I couldn't have gotten in without your help, guidance and encouragement."
- Kate, New York

"I heard back from (my top college choice) about 1/2 an hour ago and I was accepted. I just couldn't be happier, and I certainly couldn't have gotten in without your help."

"ApplyWise made me well-organized, well-aware and well-prepared to face the admissions officers. ApplyWise walked me through a difficult process, showed me how the ball was already in my court, and literally gave dozens of examples of how to win a zero-sum game. The program was also a relief to my parents; after the clear sessions (and when they saw the working resume I had built) they knew my applications would arrive at colleges on time with the maximum impact."
-Dave, New York, Class of 2009

Even though a child is talented, there are serious questions about how to make those talents known to college admission officers. Many choices face high school students, from courses to SAT I and SAT II selection and timing, extracurricular activities both in and outside of school, summer jobs, essay topics. (Dr. Kat's methodology) helps students work through these choices, developing appropriate responses with each one as a unique individual.

"(Dr. Kat's) straightforward and realistic approach to the application process and its many details should have been our first stop as novices."
- Parent, New Jersey

"After our first and only meeting it was obvious (Dr. Kat's methodology) was the way to go."
