I help high income business owners, student-athlete and other families get into America's best colleges and save 52.4% or more off "sticker price" - even if they think that they can't possibly qualify for anything.
I do not offer photoshopping or bribing services.
REAL SERVICES -Our approach is different than guidance counselors and other college consultants.
I coach teens through the college selection, application and essays process - after I identify each student's "wiring" and what that can translate into re: a place in the world for them *post-college,* where they can love what they do for a living (i.e. doesn't feel like work) AND get off mom and dad's "full ride" scholarship. :)
80% of college students switch majors, 50% of college graduates are UNDERemployed -- working in jobs that do not require a college degree -- and student debt is more than 1.6 Trillion.
Which is why "winging it" or "hoping" isn't a winning strategy!
Each year, I personally mentor a select group of motivated, coachable students, who get into schools like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, U Michigan, UVA, etc. as well as community colleges and other "regular" colleges.
Ironically, I don't care where they attend college; I have no other agenda than helping kids become as successful as possible, no matter what college they attend.
Most kids, parents and guidance counselors focus on the FOUR years of schooling instead of the 40= years that college ostensibly prepares you for. Not to mention the school's rank (easily manipulated), whether it has the "rah-rah" factor and whether you had a good "feel" when you visited (what the hell does that mean?)
What about quality of education? Internships? On-campus recruiting?
FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS - I prepare financial aid forms, advise on how to improve eligibility for need-based aid and identify merit scholarships for "regular" and highly credentialed kids alike.
BACK STORY - I attended Wesleyan University and St John's Law School. My father was a disabled freelance photographer who was not good at paperwork. I racked up more than $100K in student debt, I could have qualified for much more assistance. That's how this profession found me.
Kids today graduate with 3x or even 5x what amassed. But this is easily avoidable if you PLAN.
