The Advantage You Need for the College Journey

Why Work with a College Planning Professional?

It will save you money….and lot’s of it!

Affordability is one of the biggest challenges students encounter while shortlisting good-fit colleges. Very often, a school may have the program and facilities a student is looking for but the cost of attending may be out of their budget. For many students, affordability is the deciding factor in their choice of school. We help you expertly explore the various sources of financial aid available to students, enabling you to afford the cost of your preferred college.

We help you identify colleges that are the best fit for you

There’s a lot riding on choosing the right program and the right college. You want to find a college that’s affordable while also offering the program you’re interested in and the right environment for you to thrive in. Identifying a college that ticks all the boxes for you is not easy. With over 4,000 colleges to choose from, there is a risk of making the wrong choice. Using a certified college planning professional reduces the odds of you making a mistake.

We go to great lengths to get to know you better before recommending colleges that are a good fit academically, personally, financially, socially, and geographically. The difference between the DIY approach and the paid route is that we’re professionals with vast experience in this area. We leverage valuable knowledge and insight gained from years of experience to guide you toward making the right decision at every step.

The rules and requirements are change frequently

The college application and admissions processes and financial aid rules change constantly. Let’s look at the SAT test as an example. A few years ago, almost all colleges wanted to see your SAT or ACT scores to assess your application. Today, a large number of colleges are test-optional, which means you can send your test scores if you want to, but your application won’t be dismissed if you don’t submit SAT/ACT scores.

Staying on top of these ever-changing rules, regulations, and requirements is almost impossible for students and parents. For college planning professionals, this is a crucial part of our job. We stay updated on the latest changes so we can offer our clients the best advice based on the latest requirements and financial aid rules.

Create an organized and strategic college application plan

Once you’ve created your shortlist of schools, you need to start sending out your applications. Putting together a strong college application that’s sure to beat the competition can be just as challenging as identifying which colleges to apply to. We can help you develop a strategic plan to increase your chances of getting into your top choice school. We also provide you invaluable tips on how to showcase your academic and extracurricular accomplishments and demonstrate your individuality while also emphasizing your interest in the school you are applying to.
