| Are You Sprinting To The Finish Line? |

November 1st is Coming...Is Your Student Nearing the Finish Line?
The first of three essential workshops began last Sunday!
(If you missed the first one with Russ Vitale talking about strategies for filling out the Common and Coalition application, you can still catch up.)
Join us for the second of the three workshops this SUNDAY, October 13 at 8:30pm (EST), where we will cover essays and how to ensure your student achieves the results they want.
Our last workshop, on Sunday, October 20, is devoted to the college list.
The college list drives everything!
It drives your student's likelihood of being accepted, it drives how much financial aid you might get, it drives how much merit scholarship money your student might be offered, bottom line - it will be the single most important thing that impacts your college costs.
It's not too late to enroll (although you'll have to watch the recording of our first session).
