With over 5,800 colleges and universities in the United States, it can be hard to be sure that you're choosing the right one. Let us help!

At the Kelly MacLean Achievement Center (KMAC), our process starts with exploring your child’s career goals, interests, and priorities covering academics, campus life, and costs. We then create a customized college guide for easy comparison and prepare students for campus visits, including which questions to ask professors, department chairs, and admissions staff, so they can confidently choose the best fit.

We help students identify colleges that fit their goals and lifestyle while also breaking down the financial picture, including financial aid options, scholarships, and tuition considerations. Students also get support understanding each school’s essay prompts, academic requirements, and ACT/SAT expectations, so they can make informed decisions and plan strategically.

Along the way, we provide personalized tutoring and coaching to strengthen academic skills, uncover passions, and build confidence. At KMAC, success isn’t just about test scores or admissions, it’s about giving students the tools and strategies to thrive in college and beyond.
