Who We Are

Current high school student-to-counselor ratios are extremely high in the United States, with the national average of 385:1 (ASCA, 2022). As a result, the majority of students and families are not receiving the individualized attention needed to research, find, and apply to colleges that match the student's needs.

Recognizing a profound need in the education space, Michael Kelly and Sean Kelley came together to form Kelley Academic Consulting (KAC). Together, we have already helped over 200 students gain entry into top colleges and universities nationwide. We currently serve door-to-door in Colorado and California, but also serve nationwide through virtual settings. Through an in–depth process, we take the time to get to know and understand each student and their families to form a blueprint targeting specific schools. Based on the student’s preferred list, we guide the student and their family through every step in the admissions process through final acceptance. To learn how we can best serve your family, contact us and ask about our collegiate advising package.
