What makes Clark College Consulting different from other college admission consultants?

College planners and guidance counselors tend to focus only on helping students select and apply to colleges, but tend not to assist families with ways to reduce the cost of college, discuss college loan options, or the best ways to pay for college.
A financial planner and CPA focus on showing you ways to grow your income, reduce your tax burden, and to create wealth.
Typically, a CPA nor a financial planner is trained in helping you figure out how to select colleges that meet your budget or lowering the cost of college.

I fill that gap in your planning, and I believe proper college planning starts with the:

College Success Formula (CSF) = Academic + Social + Financial Fit

I help families in identifying a personalized college list that matches the student's academic promise, social perspective

, as well as the family's savings and college budget.

My objective is to guide you through the entire college planning process of selecting, applying, and paying for college, and potentially make it a financial "non-event" for your family.

Why work with Clark College Consulting?

Many families may feel the need for a more personalized
approach to their college search, the application process, financial aid, and paying for college.

I have the gratification of working with a small number of families each year, so I can get to know each student. I provide individualized and customized college advice to each student. I regularly visit colleges, attend seminars, keep abreast of government regulations, and participate in professional development. This continuing education allows me to stay abreast of the ever-changing landscape of college admissions so I can pass on my insight to you.

On average, we save families hundreds of hours of their time, their sanity, and $40,000 to $60,000 in college costs!
