Kaeding College & Career Consulting

Strong grades and test scores are no longer enough. An experienced admissions consultant helps students set themselves apart by positioning their experiences most advantageously with their authentic voice. Starting with an experienced advisor earlier on in high school can help students make key decisions – such as which courses to take, how to deepen extracurricular involvements, and how to prepare for standardized (SAT/ACT) testing – that will shape their college profile long before the application process starts.
