Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: When should my child start college planning?
We recommend starting as early as 9th or 10th grade to maximize opportunities and reduce stress later on.
Question 2: How much does college consulting cost?
We offer multiple plans to fit your needs and budget — many families save more in scholarships than they spend with us.
Question 3: Can you help us qualify for more financial aid?
Absolutely. Our DREAM, LAUNCH, BANK framework includes financial strategy to help you save $40K–$60K on tuition.
Question 4: What’s the difference between you and a high school guidance counselor?
We offer personalized coaching, essay support, and college selection strategies that most overworked counselors can’t provide.
Question 4: Do you only focus on colleges and universities in the South?
While many of the families I work with apply to colleges in the South—and I know those schools well—I’ve helped students get accepted into top colleges across the U.S. and internationally.
