Testimonials
I just wanted to let you know that Morgan's senior class met with the guidance counselor yesterday (September 1st) to go over items that need to be done for seniors, and as we were checking items off the list, Morgan was way ahead of all the suggestions! This is due completely to us attending the college bound seminar AND following your checklist to the letter. Thanks for making her senior year less stressful and for your excellent suggestions and timeline.
Morgan's Mom
Just want to thank you and your team for all the great information you helped us with in order to prepare our son for college. He leaves in 3 weeks and we are very blessed with getting over $50,000 worth of scholarship money. You helped him raise his ACT score by 3 points. He got a 31. You also helped us create a resume and motivated us to meet with some key people at the college of his choice. On our fifth visit to the college we shared a senior paper our son had written, this conversation resulted in an additional $20,000. The college bound seminar for parents was exactly what we needed and helped us build a strategy to get the most merit scholarship money we could.

Senior year has flown by, and I am so excited to start college. My top choice offered me a total of $25,000 per year, and college may actually end up being cheaper than high school (I attend a private high school). The hard work has been more than worth it! Thank you so much for giving me some of the most important advice I received about the college process.
Natalie
Thank you so much for teaching the ACT prep class and doing the college bound seminar! I went from a 30 to a 33 composite after taking your class, and I got a scholarship of $103,000 over four years at the University of Alabama!

Jason, we just wanted to let you know Mallory went ahead and applied to Northwestern. She found out last week she was accepted!! Excited does not begin to describe her mood. Her financial aid package followed on Thursday. Her estimated costs were around $68,000 per year. However, her grants and scholarships came in at almost $64,000 per year. If we hadn't taken your college bound seminar, we would never have started searching and visiting soon enough or known what questions to ask to make this happen for her. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Mallory's Dad
The scholarship is worth about $165,000. I went crazy! I was so happy, and I just couldn't believe it. My father mentioned that I should email you telling you my story because truthfully, your class is where it all started.

Originally the college didn't offer Jill anything. In the end they gave her $60,000. We couldn't believe it. Thanks for all your help.
Jill's Mom
You were right! I did what you said, and they increased my scholarship $4,000!
Isabel
Thanks for all your advice. This has been an unbelievable journey for our family. Peter went from being wait-listed by his top choice to receiving a $100,000 scholarship from the very same school. We can't thank you enough!
Peter's Mom
Thanks for all the information. My older son Brian decided to go to a community college first because it was free for him due to his class rank. He mentioned that what you shared about college costs and graduating with lower loans really helped him make that decision. Our pocketbook thanks you!
Brian's Mom
Thanks for telling me what I needed to hear. I visited the university, did what you told me, and they reversed their decision. I've always wanted to go there and now I am. I never thought it was possible, but you were right. It's not just about grades and ACT scores. Thank you SO MUCH!

I wasted $7,000 on a college admissions coach for my daughter (Tina) before realizing that the guy wasn't helping but rather causing us more stress. We finally gave up on him and called you. In one conversation, you told us what to do. Everything you said made sense. We did what you said, and she got into the University of Illinois – her dream school. Thanks for doing what you do!
Tina's Mom
I just watched your parent video for about the 8th time in the last two years. I just love it and find it full of such useful information! I find that as we go through this application process, different parts speak to me in different ways, hence I keep watching. I feel like it puts us on a level playing field with the colleges. You have saved our family much stomach acid as we go through this for the first time with our eldest daughter, Abbie. We can't recommend you highly enough!
Abbie's Mom
Note: Abbie's mom attended the seminar when Abbie was a sophomore. As a senior, Abbie had two universities offer her $88,000. That's a nice problem to have. The right information makes a difference.
