We came to College Consults not knowing exactly what to expect and the results were much better than we could have predicted. Utilizing a very practical approach with a tried and proven process, College Consults was able to help our daughter navigate through a very stressful time in every college bound juniors’ life – the college application process. Our daughter was no exception. The pressure of junior year was daunting and the entire college process very overwhelming. Since we, as parents, were also going through this process for the first time – we didn’t know what we didn’t know. Once we, as a family, decided to take the plunge and go with College Consults, we never looked back.
Parent of Villanova StudentI found College Consults to be the perfect link to the college process for my sons and me. They needed an outside accountability service and Kelly Casten served that purpose perfectly. We found her so impressive, professional and responsible, that I was really able to step out of the “micro-managing” piece that was causing distraction in the personal relationships with my sons. Kelly’s background in education allowed her to work magic with both the parent, and college bound teenager, and she danced that dance well. My faith and trust in Kelly in terms of providing input and service was phenomenal! Thank you again to Kelly Casten and College Consults. My one son is happily settled at The University of Richmond, and we are presently awaiting acceptance for son #2!

Parent of Wootton High School StudentI really enjoyed working with College Consults. It was nice to have them there to remind me of deadlines and help keep track of the whole application process. It helped to work with them on all of my essays and took a lot of the stress away that is involved with applying to colleges. I got into the school I wanted and had a great experience there.
Clemson University StudentCollege applications require time, attention to detail, and meeting deadlines; that along with the currently full schedules the students have in their Senior year can become overwhelming. College Consults did a great job in gearing the students to a range of colleges that fit their needs, helping get them focused and organised to ensure that all the steps in this demanding process are met and all applications are sent complete and on time. Thank You for making the process a relief!
