Embarking on the college journey can be challenging. As your experienced guide, with 32 years as a FAFSA Pro and college planner, I will navigate the path ahead, sharing invaluable strategies to prepare your child for college success, turning dreams into reality.
Stay Ahead of Deadlines:
The key to a successful college journey begins with meticulous deadline management. Keeping a keen eye on these critical dates ensures that applications, financial aid submissions, and all requirements are met, empowering your child to stay ahead of the curve and transforming their college dreams into reality, avoiding the disappointment of rejected applications.
How can your child prepare while still in school?
Laying a strong academic foundation is paramount for college success. Encourage your child to excel in their studies and foster disciplined habits, showcasing their commitment and independence to prospective colleges. Aiming for a solid unweighted GPA of at least 3.0 not only boosts their college readiness but also highlights their academic dedication to admissions officers.
The same is true for the SAT/ACT tests; these exams show college admissions committees that a student is prepared for college-level coursework, helping your child study!
How can your child prepare for college planning?
As a parent, you must handle the intricate task of preparing financially and helping your child apply to college and gain admission successfully.
At times, it might seem overwhelming, but you don't have to face it by yourself. Seeking help from a 32 year college consultant can offer valuable insights, tailored strategies, and support in managing the process. Occasionally, they provide assistance with filling out financial aid applications and preparing various types of financial support, including loans, scholarships, and work-study opportunities.
Assistance for your child with their college application, and FAFSA includes:
College essay preparation/review
college interviews
SAT/ACT Test Prep Guidance
Career Mentoring
College Searches
FAFSA completion
As you begin your child's college journey, keep in mind that being prepared can significantly impact your experience. Stay informed, explore all available resources, and don't hesitate to seek assistance when necessary.
Together, let's empower your child to achieve college planning success and secure a bright future for your child.
