Betsy doesn't do half-measures, and she doesn't accept sloppy work. From our first talk, she saw straight to the core of my applications, exposing the holes, and asking me to answer my most difficult questions. Betsy's standards are tough, but combined with her sensitivity to my personal goals, and endless patience, they were exactly what I needed to get motivated, and kick my applications into gear.

Putting my first pre-Betsy drafts and my final applications side by side, the difference is clear. Although my initial message has stayed the same, the focus, force, and clarity of voice that finally brought my story to life, I owe to Betsy. Thank you Betsy, for never letting me settle, and for believing in a wild card like me. I simply couldn't have done it without you.

Betsy was great through out my application process. She was my sounding board, my mentor, my counselor all at the same time. She calmed me down when I was stressed, she helped me focus on the big picture without forgetting the details. THANK YOU!
