What PARENTS have said:

Dear Karen- I do not even know where to start in thanking you for all you the encouragement you gave to Thomas over the last 4 years. With each stumbling block he encountered, you gave him the structure and the road map for pushing through and continuing to work towards his goal. You were always there to give him the facts and help push him through. I am especially thankful for the prayers as he was interviewing and waiting…and waiting. It all turned out perfectly, and I he is exactly where he belongs. Again, thank you for all you did to help him succeed. - Lisa W.

Karen is awesome! She helped us out with Monica! Very professional, kind, helpful, and enjoyed me coming along too to hear all about professional school! Great gal! – Cindy C.

Karen is Great! – Sherry N.

Thank you for making a young lady’s dream become reality!! – Steve and Judy D.

What STUDENTS have said:

100% recommend! Karen helped me get into med school and my husband prep for airline pilot interviews! – Med matriculant

You are absolutely the best. Were such a help and life changer for me back in the day. Highly recommend 100%. – Med matriculant

Thank you so much for all your help throughout this process. I could not have done it without you. I remember freshman year when you helped me get my planner organized. I have learned a lot since then. You were always supportive and reassuring during the process and I am so thankful to be taking the next step at MUSC. – Dent matriculant

I want to thank you for all the support and guidance you gave me. You really pointed me in the right direction and got me to do all the right things to get where I wanted to be and I really appreciate it. – Med matriculant

Karen was instrumental in helping me create an excellent application, something I would not have been able to do on my own, allowing me to continue on to my future goals and career. – Med matriculant

I honestly was scared medical school was not in the cards for me. She helped me and encouraged me through the whole cycle and never doubted me. I truly could not have gotten here without her and I am so grateful for her! – Med matriculant

I was looking for someone who could guide me through the vet school application progress. It was all very new to me and I was looking for someone who could help me understand and work through every part of the process. The application process was very long and somewhat confusing and I was second guessing whether or no I was doing it correctly for in a way that would help me stand out and get me into vet school. It made me feel very overwhelmed and stressed. Karen was recommended to my dad by one of his coworkers who had a son applying to medical school and was working with Karen. She was extremely helpful with the essay writing process and just the applications themselves. She also prepared me very well for my interviews and gave me a lot of confidence going into them. She showed that she genuinely cared about me as a person. I feel very grateful for Karen and her help! I am going to vet school and am one step closer to my dream career. – Vet matriculant

What PRACTICING STUDENTS have said:

You were my greatest support when I was in college. I had a 2.8 GPA and came to you wanting to go to medical school. Instead of discouraging me, you told me exactly what I needed to do and I got into my first-choice school! Now I am a happy pediatrician. Thank You! – Doctor

Thanks, you for getting me into dental school Karen! Me and thousands others thank you for your knowledge, experience, professionalism, accessibility and quite frankly for the friendship. Tens of thousands of our patients don’t even know to thank you! You make your candidates shine brighter than the rest. – Dentist

You were so helpful on my journey to applying to and getting accepted into dental school. Thank you! This year I graduate and am the president of my class. Couldn’t have gotten here without your help. – Dentist

I am so thankful for you and tell all my mentees to find their “Karen.” – Neonatologist

Karen you are such an asset, people would be lucky to work with you! – Surgeon

Karen Hudson is the best. – Resident

I started working with Karen when I was a premed student applying to med school. She helped me match into my first-choice medical school. As I approached my 4th year of medical school, I knew I needed Karen to assist. She helped me navigate all the most difficult and stressful aspects of the process. She reviewed my residency application and personal statement with a fine tooth comb. I also did mock interviews with Karen which gave me the opportunity to practice my interview skills and reduce my anxiety about interviewing. She made it possible for me to create an submit a compelling medical residency application and match at my number one choice of residency. I am so grateful to Karen for her support through a stressful process and would highly recommend her. - Resident
