Testimonials
The process of applying to college can be overwhelming for teens and parents alike. Carson’s style was perfect for my son, who needed an organized and guided approach. She held him accountable for his due dates and supported him from beginning to end. Carson took time to build a relationship with my son so that she could help him find a college that was right for him. Now my younger son is beginning to work with Carson and is already off to a great start.

Carson was an integral part of my college search and application process. Carson’s thorough preference mapping methods, which include figuring out what class sizes, social scenes, and geographical locations I prefer, allowed me to find my dream school. Carson helped push me through the essay-writing process. We spent all summer dissecting essay prompts and developing ideas that would properly illustrate the type of person I am. Carson gave me honest feedback and helped me polish my essays over multiple drafts. Carson’s process is truly collaborative. The college application process is difficult for everybody, but with Carson’s help, I stayed on top of the game. By December, I was happily committed to my dream school, which I hadn’t even heard of the December before. I will never be able to thank Carson enough!!

Working with Carson on the college process was a dream. She is smart, super organized and relates really well to kids. She has a unique gift of highlighting all the ways my daughter would be a fantastic addition to each college she applied to. I had no idea what a lovely writer my daughter was; Carson easily brought out her unique voice and turned it into a powerful essay. She loved working with Carson.
Hire her quickly before she’s completely booked!

As we approached the college admission process with our daughter, we wanted to provide her with the right support and find someone who could help her focus and bring her voice out. Carson Buck is that person. Carson was able to help our daughter organize her thoughts, focus on each essay(s) that the schools required, and let her voice shine through in the application process. She worked extremely well with our daughter and pushed her when needed. She applied to some very competitive schools/business programs and was accepted to all of her top choices. Carson was an integral part of her success.

Summer of my junior year, I was overwhelmed by the idea of writing a series of essays and filling out my college applications. As I learned, the application process requires a considerable amount of time and effort. Having someone like Mrs Buck who is patient, very creative, and knowledgeable about what colleges look for in the application process, alleviated a large portion of the stress.
