Who is Bill?
Bill Caskey is a college admission specialist and a former
Ivy League admission officer.
Since 1996, Bill has assisted over 3,000 families with the college admission process. After initially serving as an admission officer at Brown University, Bill directed Brown's Alumni College Advising Program in which he counseled alumni families through the college admission process. In 2002 Bill co-founded ConnectEdu, a technology company that provides college admission guidance and assistance to high schools and private companies. Bill returned to working individually with families in 2004.
Before entering the wild and crazy world of college admission, Bill was a high school history teacher, a CIA intelligence analyst and a radio news anchor at WCNN radio in Atlanta.
Bill grew up in Oklahoma, where he attended a large, public high school and received absolutely no college counseling. He somehow found his way to Brown, where he majored in (believe it or not) African and Latin American History. Few of his high school classmates had heard of either Brown or Rhode Island. In fact, most assumed Bill was attending John Brown University, a small, Bible college in neighboring Arkansas. The lack of name recognition among his friends and neighbors bothered him at first, but Bill quickly realized that what mattered most was that he was a happy and satisfied student.
Where is Bill now?
Bill lives in Rhode Island with his wife, son and daughter. However, through the wonders of email and phone, his reach spans the country. Bill counsels public and private high school students from Lexington to Los Angeles and Seattle to Sarasota.
