WHO IS REBECCA KLEIN, AND WHY WORK WITH RK COLLEGE ADMISSIONS CONSULTING

Before becoming an independent educational consultant, Rebecca had over 12 years of experience managing the programming for one of South Florida’s most well-respected non-profit scholarship programs and educational foundations. Along with ensuring that thousands of college-bound students in South Florida received additional funding for college, she was also instrumental in developing college readiness programs and initiatives for underrepresented and first-generation high school students in the South Florida area in conjunction with other community-based organizations in Miami-Dade and Broward County. At the same time, she saw a growing need for personalized guidance with the college admissions and application process. Concurrently, she worked with numerous high school students one-on-one part-time while running the scholarship program and education foundation.

In 2019, when the education and scholarship foundation ceased operations due to a lack of corporate funding, Rebecca needed to pivot quickly. She knew she had the client base and years of experience and knowledge and officially made college admissions consulting her full-time commitment. Thus, RK College Admissions Consulting was formally born and launched. Since the inception of RK College Admissions Consulting, Rebecca has had the honor and opportunity to personally consult and assist nearly 150 students with their college planning journey.

She is proud to note that all of her students have yielded positive results in some way. Her students either got accepted into their #1 choice or into a school that was the BEST FIT for them (most offering additional merit scholarships.) Though she cannot guarantee that your student will get accepted into every school on their college list, she will strive to do her best to ensure they have the BEST CHANCE possible for success. Her main goal is for her students to find the best school to fit their academic, financial, social, and emotional needs. 

Rebecca also worked in the public relations and communications industry for 13 years after graduating with a creative writing and communications degree from Florida State University in 1994. She excelled at portraying her clients in the best way possible and spreading their positive message to the public. She does the same for her students by helping them develop and demonstrate their distinct narratives in their applications and essays.

Rebecca is a Professional Member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) – the highest membership level for educational consultants who have demonstrated professional mastery with many years of experience. IECA is an international professional association representing experienced independent educational consultants. It provides professional development and works to ensure that those in the profession adhere to the highest ethical and business standards. She maintains the highest standards of professional service and personal conduct as outlined by IECA’s Principals of Good Practice. She is also a current member in good standing of the Southern Association for College Admissions Counseling (SACAC).

She takes pride in her continuing education and professional development through these two associations and independently by attending conferences, seminars, and workshops. She also personally visits college campuses nationwide to provide her students with the most up-to-date information about the schools they may be interested in applying to or schools they have yet to consider.

The college admissions landscape is constantly changing, and Rebecca has the years of experience, knowledge, and professional tools to guide all of her students to reach their goals and true potential!
