WHY USE KNUDSON COLLEGE CONSULTING

At Knudson College Consulting, we provide direction and advice for the college search and selection process. The college search starts with exploring the student’s college goals and culminates in a “college list” tailored to the student’s goals and the family’s financial situation. The application process includes an application deadline chart, essay brainstorming and feedback, and reviewing completed applications.
