Here's the Exact Optimal Time to Start College Planning (DATA inside)

A common question families ask us is when is the best time for their family to start college planning. We always respond with something along the lines of as soon as possible. Whether you’re a freshman or a junior, now is the best time.

We always said that, but until recently, we didn’t have the data to prove it. It was more so an instinct to offer that advice than a fact. But as it turns out, we are right. The sooner the better, and now we have the data to back me up. If you’re interested in why starting early in college planning is better, this one’s for you.

P.S. - Have a high-performing high schooler w/ a 3.7 GPA or higher? We specialize in changing the lives of students just like this, giving them the right structure, mentorship, and accountability to excel in high school...and ultimately gain admission into the college of their dreams.  We do it year after year after year.  It's not rocket science.  But it is a science.

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).
