20 Minutes of Coaching Resulted in $52,000 for a Family in our Program
For those of you unfamiliar with our 4-Year, All-Inclusive, Start-to-Finish, College Confidence Program, one of the perks we offer our members is office hours twice a month to hash out smaller questions and problems, ones that wouldn't require an entire 30 minute meeting, but nonetheless, are important.
In a recent session of those office hours a couple weeks ago, a parent in the program mentioned to us that one of her daughter's top choice schools offered a financial/scholarship award less than her others. We shared some rather simple advice that ended up paying huge dividends for their family.
We informed her that she could simply reach out to the college, or her daughter could for that matter, and follow up with the data of how much that school offered compared to the others. The phone call in total would only need to take about 20 minutes, if that.
Then, two weeks later, she reported back to us with great news: the college offered $13,000 more a year than they had previously. Wow, that's incredible.
For those of you math-oriented individuals like we are, that's $2,600 per minute of her time. Can't get much better than that.
That might be hard to believe, so see it for yourself. Linked below is the video of her sharing the great news with me.
Moments like these are why we enjoy hosting office hours so much. We get to talk to and help the families in our program while occasionally hearing great news like this.
If you're interested in the negotiation tactics the Toler family used or just want to talk and receive personalized college admissions advice, schedule a free 45-minute call with us to discuss all that and the possibility of joining the program. Who knows, maybe we can help you find your own hidden stash of $52,000?!
If first, you'd rather check out some more of our free materials before scheduling a call, join the new College Confidence Community dedicated to helping families like yours navigate the confusing admissions landscape. Plus, in that community, we share the same sort of tips that worked out so well for the Toler family.
Congrats to them again. Well deserved.
To your college planning success,

P.S. - Have a high-performing high schooler w/ a 3.7 GPA or higher? We'll help get them into at least one of their top 5 dream colleges...and if we don't get them into at least one of their top 5 dream colleges, you don't pay us a penny. Seriously. College admissions isn't rocket science...but it is a science. And we've cracked the code...year, after year, after year. You can learn more about our world renowned all-inclusive, start-to-finish college coaching here and to see if your family qualifies for an introductory call.
P.P.S - Our most common question is "When should we start?!" The answer is, if you truly care about giving your high schooler the best chance of college planning success, you should start NOW. 9th grade is not too early to start! 10th grade is certainly not too early to start! And 11th grade is far, far too late! (supporting data here to show just how much of an advantage you give your child by starting the process early).
