Is your teen already thinking about college—even as early as 9th grade?

If you’re unsure where to start or stressed by all the admissions changes this past year, this class will make it simple. With nearly two decades of experience, we’ll share insider strategies to help your family maximize acceptances, secure financial aid, and understand exactly what colleges are looking for. You’ll leave with a clear plan, concrete action steps, and confidence about the process.

  • What top colleges actually look for (and how your teen can stand out)
  • When to start planning, broken down by grade level
  • A step-by-step walkthrough of the Common App
  • How to spark strong ideas for the personal statement essay
  • FAFSA, CSS Profile, and financial aid tips that really work
  • Common mistakes that cost families time, money, and peace of mind
