Comprehensive College Planning
We personally guide and counsel families through our unique College Planning process, a 5-tiered structured program, in order to help them plan PROPERLY for their children's college careers - both academically and financially. We accomplish this by:
- STARTING in the student's sophomore - or at the LATEST, 1st-semester junior - year
- IDENTIFYING excellent-fit colleges and then construct the FINAL College List (8 - 10)
- EDUCATING our family clients in HOW the financial aid system works (need & merit)
- INVOLVING the student and at LEAST one parent in order to achieve optimum results
- FACTORING in the component of affordability THROUGHOUT the planning process

EXCELLENT-Fit Colleges vs. "Brand Name Paralysis"
We specialize in helping students construct exceptional excellent-fit College Lists while minimizing mom's and dad's out-of-pocket costs for college. The two primary components foundational to our Comprehensive College Planning Program are:
- Educating families about today's complex Admissions and Financial Aid Systems
- Providing guidance and counseling in every element of the planning process
REMEMBER:
It's not JUST about getting them INTO college...
It's about GETTIN' 'EM OUT!
