"It’s almost impossible to find someone like Kerry who can handle admissions AND financial aid work so well. I don’t know what I would have done without her; she told us things we needed to do that I would never have found out on my own!"

I'm here to ensure that students' college admissions and financial aid journeys aren't FULL-TIME JOBS for parents! I'll give you the detailed and comprehensive support you need to successfully navigate the entire college admission and financial aid process.
I'm Ready!A bit about me...
I’m Kerry Traylor, and I have taught HUNDREDS of parents and students from ambitious families how to get into the colleges of their dreams! My students have gained admission to Yale, Stanford, Georgia Tech, Cornell, Brown, UC Berkeley, UCLA, University of Michigan, USC, Emory, UT Austin, Boston University, Tufts, Tulane, Carnegie Mellon, Duke...you name it!
I’ve run my own private college admissions and financial aid consulting business for well over a decade. I have an undergraduate degree from Williams College, US News and World Report’s #1 National Liberal Arts College, and a graduate degree from a joint program with Harvard and Tufts Universities. I’ve been a consultant to the US Department of Education (the FAFSA folks) and the College Board (the SAT and AP folks.) I’m a certified parent coach with 3 grown, successful kids of my own who I personally placed at elite and prestigious US schools….at a fraction of the sticker price.

Our 3-year journey of college preparation is coming to a close. It was intense, and we could not have done it without you, Kerry. We are so grateful for your services and expertise. Thank you!

Working with you was far better than going to family therapy had we tried to navigate this ourselves with both boys ;-) They learned many skills in the process and got a real-world dose of why writing and editing matters.
