You're Not Alone in Feeling Overwhelmed
Remember when college planning meant picking a few schools and filling out some forms? Those days are gone.
Today's college admissions landscape is a maze of:
300+ application deadlines across different schools and scholarship programs
Constantly changing requirements for essays, tests, and activities
Financial aid strategies that can save or cost tens of thousands
"Holistic admissions" where no one really knows what matters most
Even families with education backgrounds find themselves drowning in information that doesn't apply to their specific situation.
