college selection

Knowing about your options for college can seem daunting at first! If you're like many of the families I work with you may have asked yourself one of these questions. How do I choose a college? What are the right schools? How do I get started with the search? When should I start visiting colleges? Where can I find the best college search tools? 

Even if you aren’t sure what to do, take a deep breath, and know that these steps will help you kickstart your college search and make some choices about your college selection.
 
This show is for the confused college applicant and family to learn simple and effective strategies to help you find the BEST college for your student while having positive conversations. This will turn you into the College Ready applicant and family so you can be confident with your next steps and your choice of college!

The branding of “dream college” is a lucrative one. Many students are sold grand ideas of campus life with vast social life, student perks, world-class dorms, football teams, and the messaging that says if you wear these colors, you are somebody. This is all propelled by a very competitive academic environment, and a social pressure that students feel to be accepted and belong. In many cases, college is the price of admission for many careers. But that doesn't mean you can't approach it with eyes wide open & make the most wise decision. Selecting the right college is key to avoiding many years of compounding interest from student loans & missed opportunities. How do you navigate this pressure and make the best call? And ultimately, is college worth it? We think so, as long as you know what's needed to launch successfully in the world.
