Collegewise provided me with a better understanding of the college application and decision process than I thought possible. Collegewise’s guidance throughout the process allowed me to really figure out what I was looking for in a college, while also maximizing my options.

I would often be stressed about what I needed to get done or about how things were turning out, but every time I walked out of the office, I was so at ease. I think the most important part about being at Collegewise was how personalized the process was, and how much care and time and effort went into me specifically.

Going to my meetings at Collegewise never felt like a chore, but more as something to look forward to! Everyone in the office is so friendly, willing to help, and made for such great motivators and supporters when it came time to fill in apps and write essays. 10/10!

The college application process is confusing and tedious, and Collegewise really helped with that process. It was reassuring to go over my application with my counselor so that we could make sure that I had a better chance of getting in!

Kaycee Brock, Ed.D., College Counselor
Kaycee has advised students who have attended some of the nation’s most selective colleges, and even though the list of schools is impressive, she believes it is even more important for students to attend a postsecondary option that is a good academic, financial, and social fit.
With 15 years of experience in education, Kaycee has served as a classroom teacher, college counseling director, district-level coach, and high school assistant principal. Kaycee learned early on that her favorite part of being a teacher was counseling and guiding students through challenging times, so when she was presented with the opportunity to become a college counselor in 2012, she couldn't say no. A decade later, Kaycee has not only served as a counselor, but she has also built and led programming and support for school districts across the nation to support them with implementing college advising tools and resources for students and families. She also earned her doctorate from Johns Hopkins University where she researched early college readiness interventions and strategies for high school students.
Kaycee's students say what they like most about her is her fun-spirited, warm demeanor. She believes counseling should be a shared experience, but at the root, there must be trust, effort, and room for joy. In her spare time, Kaycee enjoys cooking, traveling, and binge-watching the latest popular Netflix drama.
