The CAS course suite is designed to meet students where they are — from 9th through 12th grade. However, the earlier they start, the greater advantage they’ll have. You can start with just one course. So, for instance, even high school seniors in the middle of college applications will find immediate, actionable value. OR, if you're starting earlier, you can purchase the full CAS Academy, which gives you all five admissions and financial aid courses at a discount.

Absolutely. Many of Kerry’s most enthusiastic clients are families where one or both parents completed their education in another country and find the US college admissions and financial aid systems confusing and opaque. CAS explains every step of the process from the ground up — no prior knowledge of the US systems is assumed.

Yes — in depth. Financial aid is one of the most complex and highest-stakes parts of the college admission process, and Kerry covers it thoroughly. Her Financial Aid Secrets course includes dedicated lessons on sources of college funding, net price calculators, the FAFSA, CSS Profile, need-based aid, merit scholarships, and how to negotiate and appeal financial aid offers. This is an area where families routinely leave tens of thousands of dollars on the table — and Kerry makes sure you don’t.

Kerry spent 15 years as a private counselor charging almost 5 figures for one-on-one access. CAS gives you her complete system — the same frameworks, strategies, and insider knowledge — at a fraction of the cost. The Live Lab Q&A adds direct access to Kerry twice a month, so you’re never left guessing. You can see her on your screen anywhere in the world!

Yes — and this is one of the most common situations Kerry works with. The CAS Academy includes dedicated guidance on how to build the strongest possible application given where your student is right now. Kerry covers how to present your student’s actual strengths strategically, how to choose colleges where they are competitive, and how to tell their story convincingly in their college essays. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s making the most of what your student genuinely offers.

Yes. Monthly subscribers can cancel anytime. Annual subscribers can cancel once a year. But if you’re not satisfied within the first 30 days of any plan, Kerry offers a full, no-hassle refund — guaranteed.

Live Lab Q&A sessions are held twice a month via Zoom and run approximately one hour. Kerry takes questions live from participants. Can’t make a session? Every call is recorded and added to a searchable archive so you never miss a thing. Multiple time slots are available to fit different schedules. And yes, you may submit questions ahead of time.

Monthly and annual subscribers have access for the duration of their subscription. Lifetime members have unlimited access — which makes it an exceptional value for families with more than one child going through the process.

This is one of Kerry’s most frequently heard concerns — and it’s exactly why the structure of CAS matters. When your student has a clear external system to follow and an expert mentor to answer to WITH action steps, parents don’t have to be the enforcer. Families consistently tell Kerry that working with her was much better for their family relationships than trying to navigate the process on their own.

"Working with you was far better than going to family therapy had we tried to navigate this ourselves with both boys." - Marybeth N., Parent
