What People Are Saying
“I spoke with several college coaching companies, actually, but I went with BKT and would make them same choice a hundred times over. Interestingly, music was just a small part of the reason. They don’t approach the college process the way others do: they don’t try to game it; they don’t focus on splash. They’re intelligent, highly educated and experienced, and they go about the process thoughtfully.”
“Especially as an international student, they helped me understand the application format and content that universities look for. They provided me with comprehensive support across the entire application portfolio. From CV enhancement to video application suggestions, their work was outstanding.”
“It was helpful to hear what other people look for in mission statements, Diversity Equity Inclusion statements, etc. I am an admin in higher education, but am doing an internship for a gallery on our campus for this semester.”
