From our clients:
"Working with Kristen was so helpful when I was going through the college application process.
From the beginning, Kristen shared her research and insights about the college application process, which really helped me think about which colleges would be the right fit for me.
If you stay on top of her deadlines and do thorough research at the beginning of the process, the applications will be much easier later on. Kristen was very thoughtful and prompt with her edits of my essays which created a very effective process that helped me to produce a final product that I was very proud of.
Kristen helped get me into my dream school, Cornell University, and I could not have done it without her help. Thank you, Kristen! "
Thank you, Kristen Miller, for everything that you did to help Lark get into her dream school.
Lark will be studying Studio Art & Social Justice at the NYU Steinhardt School. This was our family’s third time through the college application process, and Kristen was an amazing resource for us. We strongly recommend Kristen to all of our Portland friends. -Karl Z.

“Working with Kristen was a game changer. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the admissions process she also helped to guide Billy towards schools that fit both his learning style and personality. We highly recommend her and will use College Bound & Ready again with our daughter without a doubt.”

“Working with Kristen was key to my student achieving admission to his first choice reach school. From the beginning to the end of the process her guidance set him up for success. She provided excellent guidance for the sports recruiting process every step of the way - from how to get coaches’ attention, to how to communicate with them throughout the process. Kristen also has a special gift for working with young people in this age group and managing all the quirks that come along with it. My highest recommendation!”
