For unparalleled insight into the college admissions process

Educational Consultants

Families come to The Kennedy Consulting Group for a variety of reasons. Some come from schools where academic counselors’ workloads are simply too high for individualized attention; others have discovered that their counselor lacks the experience and insight needed to identify the right match, gain entry into the student’s schools of choice, and secure scholarships or financial aid.

In addition, international families find Kennedy Consulting essential  for explaining how the U.S. admissions process works, identifying the appropriate range of schools for their student’s goals and talents, and positioning their student for admission to competitive schools.
