With competition for college becoming more intense and the college admissions officers looking at each application and analyzing its merits, it makes sense to give your college-bound teen every opportunity available.
I created the Parenting for College Crash Course because:
- College admissions is becoming increasingly competitive.
- By college’s own admission, the process is entirely subjective.
- If you wait until senior year, you will be in panic mode.
- Your teen is just one in thousands of college applicants.
- Without help, you will get lost in the college maze.
- School counselors simply don’t have the time to advise every student.
What you can expect from the Crash Course:
- A step by step guide through the college admissions process—walking you through the process in a way that every parent can understand.
- Supportive templates and spreadsheets to help you stay organized and on top of college deadlines.
- Directions on where to go to find the experts in every facet of the college admissions process—and how to get their help for FREE!
- How to help your teen choose the right college—the college that fits him/her perfectly.
- Tips on how to make your college-bound teen appealing to their top choice college.
- Everything you ever need to know to understand financial aid and how to leverage that knowledge to your advantage.
That’s great you say; but at what cost?
Here’s an excerpt from a New York Times article about college coaching services:
No test or licensing is required to offer such services, and there is no way to evaluate the counselors’ often extravagant claims of success or experience. And Ms. Duff’s asking price, though higher than many, is eclipsed by those of competitors who may charge upwards of $40,000 —more than a year’s tuition at many colleges.
Believe me, I couldn’t afford that kind of money when I was helping my kids with the college process, and I’m sure you can’t either.
BUT, if I had found someone that offered everything I needed in one CRASH COURSE for a FRACTION of the cost of those high-priced counselors, I would have JUMPED at the BARGAIN!
No more searching online to find the information you are looking for about a myriad of college-related subjects. No more feelings of inadequacy and ignorance when it comes to the college admissions process. No more days of disorganization and frustration as you try and help your teen make difficult college decisions.
