success doesn't happen by chance ... it happens by choice!
Success in college is the first step to success in your student's chosen career. Choosing the right school is the difference between a head start and a bumpy start. Most students take the "well traveled path"; they go to the school that's close to home and that all their friends are going to. This school may be a great school for them ... but, more often than not ... It Isn't! (and often it's more expensive)
At My College Advisor, we believe in a "top down" approach. We look at ALL the schools and we narrow that list down based on our student's academic, financial, and social "fit", finding a "short list" of about two dozen schools. The student then uses this list to narrow their search and find the school of their dreams.
The college search and application process is complex and getting harder to navigate each year. The increasing competition for the fixed number of spaces at many desired colleges and universities makes it even more important to be able to present a student's accomplishments and abilities in a way that will make them stand out from other applicants.

The escalating cost of college is adding to the anxiety of students and their parents. It is nearly impossible to attend college without accumulating debt ... massive debt! In fact, the Cost of Attendance has become a major factor in deciding which school to attend.
Having a comprehensive college plan is essential to success in college and making college affordable. We educate families on the financial aid process. We explain how the FAFSA works, what a "Asset Protection Allowance" is, how their EFC is computed, and more importantly ... strategies to legally lower their EFC and qualify for more financial aid.
We are proud of the fact that we are not a Financial Advisor and our goal is not to sell you products to reduce your EFC. We do know how the system works...and we will work with you to put a financial plan in place that uses ALL methods to reduce the cost of college for your student; you can then take that plan to your own financial advisor for review and implementation.
