Smart Choices, Bright Futures
Behind every successful college application is a grounded, intentional process—not pressure, perfectionism, or rushing to keep up with what other families are doing. At Oppen Admissions, I help students understand who they are, what they bring to the table, and how to communicate that honestly and effectively. My approach is steady, supportive, and rooted in real admissions expertise, so your family can move through this journey with clarity and confidence. With the right guidance, the college process becomes less overwhelming—and far more meaningful.
Guidance Grounded in Experience and Heart
I’m Karen Oppen, Independent Educational Consultant and founder of Oppen Admissions.
After years of helping families navigate the complex college admissions process, I’ve learned that success isn’t about chasing rankings—it’s about finding the schools where students can thrive.
I combine strategy, insight, and empathy to help students feel confident, supported, and proud of their applications.
