Testimonials

Parent of Student Athlete

Kim,

We hope you are well.

Just wanted to thank you for helping our son achieve his goal and first choice, Columbia. My husband and I are still in shock and can't quite accept that he was recruited. We keep asking him "Is this 100% certain? Do you get a likely letter? Where is the proof? Can we tell people?"

Our son submitted his final application to Columbia this evening. They wanted it before November 1st.

We hope our son has been conveying all this to you. Please let us know if we can relax now....

Thanks again for your support, encouragement and clear instructions throughout the college application process for potential recruits. You gave us confidence and most importantly the reassurance that our son was a good candidate and on the correct path at all times.

Prepare yourself for the next son, who is a Junior at Exeter.

Mother of Athlete Who Transferred Schools

Hi Kim,

I thought I would give a brief update on {my son}. He did go to {School 1} for one year and then transferred last year to {School 2}. He has played in a majority of the hockey games and has even scored a few goals. More importantly he’s done really well in school. He’s made the Dean’s List every semester and was also named an All-American Scholar by the National Coaches Hockey Association.

Thank you again for all your time and energy to help {my son} realize his goals. He is truly happy at {School 2} and the extra years playing hockey definitely helped him in the long run.

Thanks for Athletic Recruitment Guidance

Dear Kim,

I wanted to let you know that {our daughter} was accepted to {school} and will be skiing on their alpine team. She is thrilled and so are we. It is a great choice for her.

Thank you for all the guidance and help in deciphering what the coaches were saying and what they really meant. It was a big help to have that clarity as we navigated the athletic recruitment waters for the first time.

Also thank you for helping {our daughter} with her application. As you know, athletes have no time and getting her application done was critical.

B.R. from Texas

We would not have thought of {college} had it not been for Kim saying to our son, “You really need to look at {college}. I think it’d be perfect for you.” While Kim works with athletes, McMillan Education has been helpful to other members of our family who are not in sports. Our son is thriving-THRIVING- at {college}. Thank you both for how you assist young people (and their families).

Father of hockey forward in Portland, Maine

As long-time sports parents, we had no idea how unfamiliar and unsettling recruiting would be. Thank you for the guidance that resulted in {our son} reaching both his academic and athletic goals at a place he couldn’t have imagined being lucky enough to attend!

J.L. from Houston, Texas

{My son} has successfully weathered the first week @ {his school}. He is playing fall hockey with NEPFHL, sailing, and beginning schoolwork. He describes his time so far as "awesome" and "great" (a man of few words :)). We are all absolutely certain that {this school} was the perfect choice for {him}! We thank you for your help in guiding us through the arduous process, and feel that the end result was worth the effort.
