Reliable custom college advisor
High quality college planning consultant? On the subject of grades, junior year is absolutely the time to commit more of your evening and weekend hours to your studies than ever before. An increase in course rigor means more pages to read, tougher math equations to work through, and more advanced concepts to master. Many elite schools like Duke University, Northwestern University, UCLA, and Pomona College see 90% of their entering freshman hail from the top decile of their high school graduating classes. This translates to earning mostly A’s in honors/advanced courses. There are other uber-competitive schools that are a tad more forgiving, but if you got off to a slow start in high school, now is the time to start acing classes and proving that you are on a sharply upward trajectory. There is no shortage of excellent institutions who will accept late bloomers whose cumulative GPA may not be commensurate with their ability.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed when thinking about college. You need to figure out ways to make yourself a more desirable college applicant, study effectively for those standardized tests looming in the near future and come up with an action plan that will determine where you’ll be applying to, and how you’ll pay for it. If you’ve only just begun your high school career, don’t waste a great opportunity to start taking the steps now to jumpstart college planning.
The Average Total Cost of Public Colleges is $25,290 (in-state), $40,940 (out-of-state), and Private Colleges are at $50,900 for EACH year! Additionally, just 41% of college students graduate in 4 years, driving up the cost significantly. If you consider the potential for long term savings that may be found with the expertise of asking colleges the right questions, knowing how to craft an appealing application, and analyzing financial aid packages, your return of investment makes this an incredibly smart financial decision.
