The Importance of Early Planning
Starting the college planning process early can make a significant difference. Many families underestimate the time and effort needed to navigate the complexities of college admissions. By beginning this journey sooner rather than later, you can ensure that your teen is well-prepared and confident.
Understanding the College Admissions Landscape
The college admissions process is more competitive than ever. With thousands of applicants vying for limited spots, it’s crucial to understand what colleges are looking for. This includes academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and personal essays.
Financial Aid: A Key Component
