What we do Pitfalls of Planning

PITFALLS OF COLLEGE ADMISSIONS AND FINANCING

There are not too many more important decisions a parent can make than sending a child to college. Do you want the right decision or just any decision? We help you make the right decision; 92% of our clients' children graduate from college in 5 years.

Lack of Time:

  • There is never enough of it!
  • Planning for college should not be fast, furious, or improvising
  • Leaving planning to the last minute limits options

Lack of Expertise:

  • Unfamiliar terms, complicated and confusing forms can leave parents overwhelmed
  • Many parents inform themselves into procrastination
  • For many parents this is the first adult decision they will make with their child, and this may be unfamiliar territory for some.

Lack of Knowledge:

  • Most parents don’t know all the right questions to ask
  • The lack of uniformity from one college to another can be confusing & frustrating
  • Many parents put too much credence in the advice of friends and acquaintances

Lack of Perspective:

  • Many parents make decisions on where their child will go to college based on emotion, either love or guilt, not their head.
  • Parents own educational background, family expectation, and peer or societal pressures can effect decision
  • Many parents have hope of their child getting some form of scholarship money. According to the Wall Street Journal 87% of parents over estimate the scholarship their children will receive.
