In this 5-day challenge, I've partnered with Russ Vitale (of Destination College Success), to teach you how to create an awesome list in just 5 days.
Russ will walk you through the steps to build college lists he uses with his private, one-on-one clients and you’ll learn valuable resources to use for researching schools in the future.
Here is what we’ll be focusing on each day: Day 1: Financial Fit Factors - Figure out how much you can afford to pay for college, how much the government and colleges think you can afford and what colleges cost these days.
Day 2: Academic Fit Factors - Help your student zone in on some potential majors and explore what the best academic environment is for him/her.
Day 3: All Other Fit Factors - What other factors impact the type of school your student will thrive at? Distance, meal options, size, clubs, activities, internships, alumni network, and more.
Day 4: College Data - Numbers don’t lie. What data should you use to research and compare colleges, as well as find colleges with need and merit based aid.
Day 5: Pulling It All Together - How to pull all this information together and use it in your planning as you go through the admissions and paying for college process.
Here’s just a FEW more things we’ll touch on...
● Why it’s absolutely, positively, so important to visit schools – and it doesn’t mean only visiting in person. There are ways to “visit” a school online.
● How to use your student’s potential college major to determine the competitiveness of college programs (hint: we’ll give you questions to help guide your student to figure out what they might be interested in majoring in.)
● Our essential advice on the RIGHT number of schools your student should apply to– this number is different for every family and we’ll explain why!
The price for this NEW 5-Day Challenge, beginning on January 26 is $9.99.
Why is there a fee?
Because we want you to be committed to showing up, learning, and doing!
And your fee won’t go to waste! You can use it as a credit towards any Road2College product or service in the future (and we've got some good deals for you coming up).
Are you in?
Parents of a current 10th or 11th grader, this should be a no-brainer. And besides, we'll make it fun too!!
