Attention Parents of College-bound High School Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors:
Does the thought of finding the right colleges, applying and getting money to help you pay the bill have you feeling like this?
You don’t want to “play the lottery” and leave things to chance
when it comes to your child’s college opportunities
or the money you need to make college more affordable.
We all know that a college education is essential these days. It’s the cornerstone to your child’s future success. But getting in to college these days is more confusing and more competitive than ever before– not everyone who applies to a college gets in, even if they can pay for it!
And, regardless of how much money you make or have, PAYING for college isn’t getting any easier, either!
Now, before we go any further, let’s agree that it’s not your fault if you’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed and there’s nothing wrong with you, either!
Your student’s high school’s idea of “help” will be to throw a ton of information at you about what you need to do -- get good grades, take your tests, participate in activities, file for financial aid — so, they’ll TELL you about it, but they won’t show you exactly how to do it nor will they walk you step-by-step through it.
The colleges certainly aren’t going to help you figure out how to evaluate their competition or see their own flaws or make sure you get every dollar in financial aid you’re entitled to!
So, it’s up to you to figure it all out. But…
If you’re like most busy families these days, you’ve got A LOT already on your plate: work, school work, sports (they could be a category all by themselves!) activities, family obligations, clubs, vacations — just to name a few!
And now that the time is here to start thinking about college, you’re adding even MORE to your already overloaded plate! You’ve got to find time (and money) to set some career goals, figure out what colleges are looking for, know what you want from a college, prepare for standardized tests, look for colleges, visit colleges, write essays — and that’s just covering the basics!
Unfortunately too many families unknowingly make critical mistakes that hurt their child’s chances with the colleges BEFORE they even start thinking about college! That’s right, they miss CRITICAL opportunities and don’t even realize it because they start thinking about college in the Spring of the Junior year (or worse in the fall of the Senior year!) — they start too late.
But, there is a solution! The college admissions and financial aid process doesn’t have to be stressful, confusing or overwhelming if you approach it the right way. It takes knowing how to make yourself stand out and making it easy for the colleges to say “YES”. And, the same things that make you appealing to the admissions office can make you competitive for MORE of the MONEY available in the financial aid office!
“Once you know what you don’t know, then — and only then – can you start changing how you go about things and do something about it!”
