College search: Don’t know where to begin? Start with this…

Originally posted: November 22

Are you the parent of a sophomore or junior in high school? Do you have that feeling that you should help your child begin the college planning process soon… but you don’t know where to begin?

Perhaps you see things on the internet about SAT, ACT, college essays, college majors, "Find my fit" quizzes, personality tests, information sessions, virtual tours, school-sponsored webinars, safety schools, target schools, reach schools, Princeton Review guides, Fiske Guides, Collegeboard guides etc. etc.…AHHHHH!!!! It’s overwhelming.  Many families know they need to start, but don’t know where. And information overload doesn’t help things.

We're here to help.  This is where you should start. This is step 1.

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).
