We are teaching an online course all about the college admissions process and we’d love for you to come!

In this one hour seminar, we will talk about picking colleges that are the ‘right’ fit, utilizing different application types, deciding what to include (and what not to include) on applications and much, much more. We will also take specific questions and can cater the course to fit the needs of the audience.
Please join us online on October 16th at 5:30pm.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 the 2 admissions seminars planned for this spring have been cancelled by Cheshire Adult Education. This is for the safety of everyone who planned to attend and, as such, we support this decision.

Fortunately, we are still up and running as usual so please reach out with any questions you may have. Keep your eyes open for seminars in the upcoming fall semester as well. Stay well!

Kaitlin & Shannon Duffy, co-owners and consultants of College Admissions Consultants, will be running 2 college admissions seminars this spring at the Cheshire High School.

Congratulations to HG who recently received his latest SAT scores. After CAC tutoring, his SAT scores increased by 120 points! We have no doubt that he will continue to keep up the great work as we continue through the college admissions process together!

Congratulations are in order for our latest high school graduates.  These students worked very hard to earn their high school degree from non-traditional online high schools including: American School, Edgenuity, Keystone School and PA Cyber School.

Several current students are well on their way to earning their diploma from the following non-traditional high schools: Acellus Academy, Advantages and American School.  Keep up the hard work!

College Admissions Consultants (CAC) has helped prepare its students for some less traditional tests as well including the:
Accuplacer
Wonderlic
TEAS
NY Regents Exam

Thank you very much to the Meriden Youth Services. The organization and their members provided CAC with a warm welcome this past May when we helped teach high school students all about applying to college. We sure covered a lot of material and everyone there received a free CAC water bottle! The group of young men and women was very attentive and had some great experiences to share! Thank you again!
