We Almost Overpaid $84,000 for College!
We did everything “right”…
✓ Good grades
✓ Solid activities
✓ Strong college list
And we were still about to make a very expensive mistake.
Because no one told us how colleges actually:
- Decide who gets scholarships
- Evaluate applications
- Award money
Most families don’t find this out… until it’s too late.
▶ ▶ FREE LIVESTREAM ONLINE WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS and STUDENTS OF 8TH–11TH GRADE
Strategies families use to potentially reduce college costs by $20K–$100K+
Why smart students get rejected
What your student should be doing NOW
The livestream is about one hour and free to attend.
Leave with a clearer understanding of the college planning process and what your family should consider next.
What You Don’t Know About College Can Cost You
Most families begin seriously thinking about college during junior or senior year.
But by then, some opportunities may already have been missed.
During this free workshop, we’ll discuss:
- ✓ What colleges are really looking for beyond GPA
- ✓ How students can position themselves for admission and scholarships
- ✓ When students should start building their college resume
- ✓ SAT, ACT and test-optional strategies
- ✓ Career and major selection before choosing a college
- ✓ How families can identify colleges that may offer more merit scholarships
- ✓ Financial aid and strategies for making college more affordable
- ✓ College planning mistakes families often don’t discover until senior year
Why Start in 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th Grade?
Because college planning isn’t just about filling out applications.
It’s about creating opportunities before the application is submitted.
The classes your student takes…|
The activities they choose…
Their SAT or ACT strategy…
The colleges they engage with…
Their intended major…
Their college list…
And even when they apply can affect admissions and scholarship opportunities.
The earlier you understand the process, the more options your family may have.
