Mistake #1: Focus on Being Wanted
Instead of focusing on being wanted, focus on what you want. Find the people living the life you want to live. Find the places where you can live it.
PARENTS & STUDENTS:
Let me help you reduce stress and shift the focus from being wanted to what you want!
Can I get in?
How much will it cost?
How do I know if it's the right school for me?
It doesn't have to be so stressful, confusing, and overwhelming. The problem is that you're choosing schools based on whether they want you instead of asking yourself what you actually want.
You're terrified about cost because you're looking at sticker prices, not the real cost of attendance. You're letting rankings and prestige drive decisions instead of what makes sense for your family and your goals. None of this is your fault. You're doing the best based on the limited information you have. In this 90-minute course, I'll walk you through the 13 biggest mistakes families make when building a college list—and how to avoid them. You'll get a clear, step-by-step framework to figure out the best schools based on what you want, not what you think you should want. You'll learn how to talk about money without panic. You'll have the tools to ask the right questions and find schools that make the most financial and personal sense for your family. You'll have 12 months of access to review and reference the content whenever you need it.
