"Thank you so much for guiding my son through the application process. We feel so lucky that we found you. If anybody asks me to recommend a college counselor, I’ll recommend you in a heartbeat without any hesitation. Any student would benefit from your guidance. You help the kids discover the gold mine within themselves." -J.L.


"My daughter had a very positive experience with Marilyn, and it took the stress off my husband and me. Their work helped defuse what would have been a struggle fraught with tension and conflict for our family had Marilyn not been there to offer her guidance, expertise, and reassurance. My daughter felt more comfortable and confident about the college application process knowing that she had Marilyn in her corner. My daughter always looked forward to her visits with Marilyn and saw her as a source of support. We thought Marilyn was worth every penny."
-Dr. Bethany Hampton, Ph.D.


"Marilyn made me realize how full my plate really was, and how well I could balance it. She was always welcoming and went out of her way to help me out. I would come over every week and she would always have snacks ready. I would never want take any, but by then end she would break me down to get a little water and a cookie for the road. She helped me write some of the best essays in my life, and I am confident they had a pivotal role in getting me into all six of my colleges. I am glad to have gone to Mrs. Kaufman, it made the college process simple!"
-Bryant Taylor


"Marilyn was an indispensible part of the college process. She was vital to my success as a personal essay writer and as a college applicant in general. Marilyn kept me focused and goal-oriented while also making sure I was relaxed and stress-free throughout senior year of high school. I loved spending time working with her, and ironically, she made college applications kind of fun! I am confident I would not have seen such favorable acceptance results without her."
-Future Student of University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School, Class of 2014
