Lindy is an amazing counselor, albeit unusual at times. (This was partially my fault as I was in China for the majority of our time together, leading to its own unique problems) If you are looking for a counselor who is going to baby you and sugar coat the advice, Lindy is not for you. However if you want straight-forward, often times brutal advice, Lindy is the perfect fit for you. With her help I managed to transfer to Carnegie Mellon University, somewhere I could never have even dreamed of going to before.
Another thing to note is based on my experience, Lindy had an aversion to editing on call and preferred to work Asynchronous (which may have partially been due to the terrible times I was available due to me being in China). However in my experience she preferred asynchronous, so if you need to work with a counselor more actively, she may not be the best fit for you.
I worked with Lindy on both UC-to-UC transfers and, a couple of years later, for graduate school applications for an MS in Business Analytics, with incredible results. She advised and pushed me to write creative essays while teaching me the nuances of writing Personal Statements and Statements of Purpose, ensuring that my essays stood out to the admissions teams. With her support, I received acceptances from several UCs, including Berkeley and San Diego, during my transfer apps, as well as from top graduate/business schools, such as USC, UW, University of Michigan, UCI, and UCSD.
I'm incredibly grateful for her kindness and expertise, and I highly recommend her to any applicant!
Our son was struggling as a transfer student. He was just struggling, period. Lindy provided some amazing advice and help on his college essays and effectively refused to accept my attempts to pay her for all her time. (She spent 5+ hours, charged us for 2 ish)
Lindy is really amazing and I wouldn’t think twice about hiring her again.
Griffin was accepted to every UC he applied to, and will now attend Berkeley. Thank you so much. This has been life changing.
Lindy has been so professional and prompt in assisting both my kids through their UC transfer applications. She is so knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Thank you so much Lindy. We really appreciate you and highly recommend your services
My freshman application to UC Berkeley (fall 2023 cycle) was rejected last March. I was hopeless in writing my appeal until I found Lindy online. She helped me outline and revise my letter once I wrote the first draft on my own. I didn't just feel like another one of her clients; I felt like Lindy genuinely cared about me and my feelings throughout the appeal process. I ultimately received an acceptance to UC Berkeley just a week before move-in last fall, and I couldn't be happier at Cal. Lindy is your best bet if you plan to appeal your UC decision!
Hi Lindy! I just wanted to let you know that I got into UCBerkeley - my dream school (and all the UCs I've applied to)!!! Thank you so much for all your help last year. I am very grateful for every comment and advice you gave me. You made my PIQs look stunning!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Lindy was absolutely pivotal in my transfer journey as an economics/business economics major. I knew my major was competitive, but Lindy not only helped my unique personal story shine but aided my transfer and any questions I had along the way. As a result, I was accepted into all the UCs including UCB for Economics and UCLA for Business Economics. It was clear that Lindy was as invested in my transfer journey as I was, and I know I couldn’t have done it without her. If you are looking to transfer from a community college to a top school I would look no further.
She is rude when she's done dealing with you-- instead of letting me know she needed to charge me more money for my questions, she became very rude and treated me like I was taking advantage of her--which is odd since I paid her every time she asked!! I have NEVER been talked to like that and have NEVER had someone treat me as if I wouldn't pay for information. Such a shame, but no one needs to deal with rude people in their lives, not when there are other avenues of information! Will gladly pay someone else for this.
This lady paid for half an hour because she didn't want to pay an hour. I usually do not do half an hour but I did for her. She then (in my estimation) took extreme advantage, texting me at all hours non-stop. She then paid for another half hour and did the same. And she would want me to stop everything and call her right then and there. She also was desperate to get her kid into Cal. The kid wanted gaming. I said there was no gaming at Cal, and CS was massively impacted and since she had flunked the first two calc courses three times each, it would be a hard sell. She then literally went down the list of majors with me on the phone -- oh, maybe architecture, maybe Japanese (although she had never taken Japanese and needed intermediate level),maybe Landscape Architecture, Religious Studies. But for each one she would insist that she would need to transfer the kid to CS because she had to do GAMING and I would say that would not happen because of her math, the fact that not all required courses were complete and the impossibility of switching to CS. She would not drop it. It was an endless circle. I gave her two pretty good options, the paths of which I detailed: Linguistics (with a focus on AI) or Interdisciplinary Studies where she could create a blend of of disciplines, including CS. Both needed none to two requirements that could easily be completed in fall. That was not good enough. I also suggested other UC options to fulfill her desire fort gaming, which were not acceptable to her. When she then contacted me again demanding I call her right NOW because she had a new idea for a major I said I did not want to continue. I noted that my patience had worn thin with her texting me repeatedly and I had done way over what was required, and there was nothing else to add. She did offer to pay more but I said no. She then sent me a nasty message and posted up here. You can read my upcoming blog post on difficult parents who do their kids a profound disservice by trying to force a UC on them, in this case trying to grab an irrelevant major that the student has no interest in.
Hi Ms. King,
Hope you are doing well.
I just wanted to let you know that I got into UC Berkeley and just wanted to thank you for all of your support with my essays. I really appreciate everything you have done for me.
I just wanted to update you on my Berkeley appeal and also thank you for all your help! I was offered admission to Berkeley for Spring 2022! Thank you so much for all the help in writing my appeal and navigating the appeal process. Once again, thank you and feel free to use my story as an example for future applicants. Thank you again.
