JDK College Consulting
🚫 No pressure.
🚫 No frills.
🚫 No wasted time or money
Just Direct Knowledge.
Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve guided more than 2,000 students and families through college admissions for 15 years. I’ve worked with all kinds of students — from overachievers and 4.0 AP scholars, to late bloomers, and the "we forgot SATs still exist" crowd. I can help them all in their search for the right post-secondary option for them.
The college admissions process is constantly changing and is increasingly complicated. At the same time, the college admissions industry has become bloated, expensive, and full of empty promises.
I’m here to change that.
I have structured my consulting business to better help your family streamline and navigate the college admissions process.
I work only with rising juniors and seniors — the families who are in it, now. No fluff, no upselling. Just the real stuff that gets results.
Meetings are conducted via video
Packages are priced clearly up front, so you can choose what works best for your needs and budget.
As an independent consultant, I offer honest, strategic, and practical support and project management. That’s it. No big packages. No ego. Just smart guidance to help you make a plan, stand out, and get into a college that’s a great fit.
What People Are Saying about JDK
“Joe was great, extremely knowledgeable about the college process. It prevented a lot of the parent and child stress my friends told me they experienced.”
“The JDK program saved me a lot of stress, and since my parents both work full time, it would have been difficult for them to help me otherwise. Plus, I got into my top choice school!”
“Joe simplified the process and was able to get the kids (quadruplets!) organized and on a schedule so they could meet deadlines. I think the fact that he isn’t a parent making demands on them really worked. It took so much stress out of the college application process for me. That alone is priceless!”
