If your student is still within the first few months of their senior year, it might not be…but we have a lot of work to do in a short period of time.

Would you delay enrollment if you could get 4 years of college for the price of 2 or less? Click the button below to schedule your free Enrollment Pathway Session to see what needs to happen.

This myth is very persistent because as a society, we have an imperfect understanding of how colleges and how financial aid really works. We’ve heard other counselors in our industry say this too.

You certainly have the option to trust everything the college is telling you. Just keep in mind that there's a chance that a college's interests may not necessarily align with your interests. Our job is to help you, not the college. There is a natural conflict between a family and the college. The college is looking to obtain your student at the lowest price possible (or at no cost at all for families unfortunate enough to pay full price). You are at the other end of this equation looking to get your student into the best possible college at the lowest possible price. That is where we come in.

We hear this a lot. Whatever they are doing, I am sure they are doing the best they can. They just aren’t doing what we could be doing for you. Just ask the dozens of clients who hired us last year that already had some type of consultant or advisor already working on their college plan. If you already had everything you needed, there is a good chance that you would not have made it this far. Let's schedule your free Enrollment Pathway Session to see where we can help.

Outside of shady backroom deals and substantial "donations," no one can help you get into Harvard. That’s the truth and if anyone is selling it, we wouldn’t buy it. Can we validate if Harvard is a good academic fit for your student? Yes we can. Can we potentially introduce Harvard as an option if it was not originally on your radar? Yes. Can we predict the financial award from a college like Harvard. Absolutely.

Predicting admission into an Ivy league or any other college with a single digit acceptance rate is a roll of the dice. No one can do it consistently. Colleges like Harvard operate on a different set of principals. We focus on the admissions and financial aid methodologies of the other 99.99% of colleges that are out there.
