The Roadmap Planning Session starts you off in the right direction
Our introductory offering of our signature Great College Advice® gives you the tools and information to move confidently toward your educational future—all for just $575.
We efficiently and effectively gather the most pertinent information from students and families. We then analyze this information and present our ideas and strategies in a personalized meeting. We give you a thoughtful analysis to help you get the most of your high school experience–and achieve success in the college admissions process.
With this roadmap in hand, your family will be better able to determine what sorts of advising services you might need in the coming months and years. Some may need quite a lot, while others will find this “Roadmap to College” sufficient to chart their own course.
Who is the Roadmap For?
No matter if your student is aiming for the Ivy League (e.g., Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth), or if your main aim is to reduce the cost of college, or if your student is a star athlete hoping to play in college, or if learning differences are a factor in your choice of colleges, or if your student is a late bloomer trying to figure out what would be the best fit for the future, Great College Advice can create a plan for success.
