The Story

March Consulting was founded by Kat Clowes with a clear purpose: to help students navigate the often overwhelming college admissions process with confi dence and clarity. After graduating high school early and pursuing a science major, Kat experienced fi rsthand the pressure of choosing the “right” path. Her time teaching at Bakersfi eld College further revealed how many students struggled to find direction, reinforcing her desire to create a more thoughtful, individualized approach. Today, March Consulting works with students nationwide, guiding them through decisions that shape both their education and long-term goals. Kat and her team focus on aligning each student’s interests, strengths, and fi nancial considerations with the right opportunities, offering support through applications, scholarships, and planning. The process centers on clarity rather than pressure, helping students move forward with purpose. The result is a more confi dent approach to college, grounded in fit, direction, and long-term success.
