“Suzanne was such a great resource for my son and me during his application process. We started working with her on selecting his classes early in high school. Suzanne knew exactly how to guide him on the classes that were and were not essential - she was right on the mark. She also shared so much helpful information in every meeting - little tidbits on how he could prepare himself. High school kids are so busy these days, and I truly appreciated Suzanne's guidance on what was important for him to spend his time on for extracurriculars, but even more what was not a good use of his time. She kept him focused on what mattered and eased so much pressure. During the application process, she was supportive, but also honest, letting my son know when and how he could tell his story better. His application was so strong because of Suzanne's guidance. Most importantly, it has been clear through the years how much Suzanne really cares about my son as a person and not just an applicant. My son is still awaiting some responses but already has been accepted to top programs including Wisconsin and Maryland. Our family highly recommends working with Suzanne.” -Parent
“Even though it’s a rigorous process Mrs. Lagemann really opened my eyes to what the college admissions process had to offer and made it super enjoyable- couldn’t have done it without her!” Student
“Suzanne’s experience teaching at the college level as well as working in admissions allows her to approach the admissions process holistically. She understands that students need goals and accountability but she also understands that not all students are the same. Suzanne works with the academically gifted and those who need access to resources. Likewise, Suzanne was very helpful navigating financial aid/scholarship options.She took the time to get to know my children, she helped them think about the environment that most suited their personalities and likes, helped focus their interests, researched career options and helped craft their high school class schedules to best achieve their goals. My daughters responded to Suzanne because she understands that students appreciate honest feedback and unbiased support. She helped them take charge of the process.I have recommended Suzanne to several friends and all have had positive experiences with her service. Suzanne’s experience and passion make her uniquely suited to shepherding students and their parents through this process. ” Parent

“I highly recommend Suzanne and Lagemann College Consulting. We were a remote client and are so happy with the counsel we received. We couldn't have navigated the college process as successfully without her. Suzanne helped our very undecided child create her balanced school list, find the right topic for her personal essay, advised her to strengthen her writing, and reminders on the variety of deadlines. Along the way she advised us parents on the financial aid process. we received. We couldn't have navigated the college process as successfully without her.I highly recommend Lagemann College Consulting.” Parent
