Conquering the College Application & Scholarship Process: Recommendation from Robin
Are you in the throes of college conversations with your teen, and does it feel daunting?
Could your high school junior or senior use some guidance re: choosing schools?
Do you want ideas/support re: exploring suitable merit scholarships and applying?
Would you welcome assistance with application completion?
Is it hard to stay on track and manage the process?
Is essay writing challenging for your child?
Several months ago, we hired an experienced college coach, at the suggestion of a friend, and I wanted to share with you.
She knows the process inside ‘n out and has helped lots of families, with some college grads even circling back to thank her for helping them get to a good place in their lives.
She has helped us identify colleges/majors to consider, jump started essay writing, assisted with the application completion….and made it all way less painstaking. As a result, my son has gotten accepted into one of the colleges high on his list and we await word from others.
She is now helping him seek out and pursue potential scholarships relative to his background.
She has varied rates, both hourly and packages, and if you have a financial hardship, she will do her best to work it out with you.
