So why did I create these Concierge Services?
Because everyone needs guidance, especially from experts that have seen a lot and have been helping families for years.
Unless you can afford to hire a professional one on one, you are left navigating the process on your own since it's unlikely you'll get the time and guidance you need from your student's high school counselor.
Can you manage the admissions and paying for college process by yourself? YES
I have no doubt if given the time, energy, and knowledge most families can manage the process on their own.
But I've had several parents (mostly mothers) say it took them ONE YEAR of full time work to do the research necessary to cover all the bases from testing, admissions, visits, applications, deadlines, financial aid, merit scholarships, financial aid negotiations, loans, etc.
And here's a quote from an existing member of one of our Concierge Services that I think sums up a lot of parents feelings:
"I don't have the time or patience to read all the books and information out there. I like having someone guide my family through the process."
So why not know you've done everything you could to get your student into the school that's best for them and is most affordable for you. |
