We could not be more grateful to Lindsay at Kindling College Consulting! Madeline was accepted to all 5 schools she applied to and received merit scholarships to 4 of them! What Kindling does best is keep your student on a paced timeline so you are not constantly worrying about if they are going to meet submission deadlines. She works with the student to set outlines and drafts for essays in a timely manner so that by the time the real thing is due, she felt totally ready to submit it. Kindling is worth every penny for a parent's sanity! And Lindsay was very instrumental in helping my daughter narrow down what would be the best colleges for her.”
