We’ll walk you through how to translate your student’s strengths and interests into real majors and programs, understand admissions selectivity the smart way, and design a balanced portfolio of Likely, Target, and Reach schools that keeps doors open senior year.

Then we’ll connect every option to cost. Using MyCAP, you’ll see how to uncover your real net price (beyond sticker shock), identify merit scholarship “hot spots,” compare in-state and out-of-state value, and weigh whether honors programs are worth it.
