We deliver monthly, bite sized information that is grouped into categories that matter in the college application process: PAYING FOR COLLEGE, THE COLLEGE LIST, STANDING OUT, THE APPLICATION and ESSAYS. The Sharks are also available in the "community" area to answer questions and will host several LIVE Q&A sessions for members.
The worry about paying for college is REAL. We help you understand the real cost of college, and where your student may be eligible for financial aid.
We will explain test-optional, test-blind and the value of the standardized test. Things change every year!
C's get degrees! Hundreds of U.S. colleges and universities have a place for C students. We have many years of experience working with these students and can help you with a great college fit!
A balanced college list is one of the most important elements of the college journey. Our process will help your student identify what they are looking for in a college and narrow the list to reach, likely and safety schools.
