The complexities of the college search process can be overwhelming. It starts with knowing where to look, which colleges to visit (and what if visits are only virtual?), then where to apply, and what about all the different deadlines? How to compare aid offers? Where will the student actually fit in and be happy? And how do you know which school can put them in a position to actually get a job? Plus, the college admissions and aid process is full of insider jargon and there is misinformation everywhere you look. And let’s be honest, for parents, the choice of college for a student is high stakes and usually represents significant costs in tuition dollars for the family.
How can you manage this stress and complexity? You could certainly set up your own spreadsheet, tracking schools and deadlines and costs, spending all your free time updating after doing hours of research. Or, you can hire an expert like me to work one-on-one with your student and your family. I help students and families find that right college that is a fit. From my perspective, you want an academic fit, a social and cultural fit, and a financial fit. I understand the admissions and aid process intimately from my years of experience and have tools to manage the deadlines and the wide array of requirements that each different college sets out.
