Here is what other parents and
their
new college students are saying:

Amazing service and impressive understanding of the often-complicated world of college admissions! Kristina knows how to work with students to bring out their best effort as well as communicate with parents with timely and comprehensive updates. She cares as much about our child as we do and wants to set him up for success at a college that is the perfect fit for him. What an unbelievable value for the customized services provided. Highly recommend Kristina to guide your student and family for all aspects of applying to college!

Kristina was so helpful in helping my daughter get clear on her ideas with essays and how best to express herself in those essays. She was super encouraging and helped my daughter with the whole process! 

Purple Mountain provided us with the expertise, professionalism, and compassion we were hoping for in accomplishing our college application goals. Thank you for making a stressful time manageable!

We knew what our son's interests and strengths were, however, we had no idea how to incorporate this into a college major. After spending some time with our son, Kristina narrowed down his career path and found a degree program that we had never heard of and universities that offered this specialized degree. We cannot thank Kristina enough. Our son is excited to begin his college career. We would highly recommend Kristina!

Kristina brought a college to my daughter's attention that we never knew about, and that is where she ended up attending, along with a great scholarship that made it affordable. We are so grateful

Working with Kristina gave our daughter so much more confidence in the application process than if we had tried to tackle it on our own. With Kristina's guidance and support, our daughter was able to better refine her list of schools and focus on applying where there was both a strong academic and cultural fit.

I can't recommend Purple Mountain enough!

Kristina Chung

Kristina was a California federal and state trial court litigator and a partner in an international law firm where she wrote hundreds of briefs, legal filings, and articles for publication, and she supervised and edited the writings of junior attorneys.
