Excellent insight. Thank you everyone for your input. This is what makes CC such a great source of information for planning. I talked with my daughter last night and she will shuffle her classes around to include AP Physics and AP Calculus AB in her senior year. I’m going to break out my books to get a head start so I can help her next year. I love these subjects, but it has been almost 25 years!
Maybe this is a topic for a different section however to my point about the value in CC…
Some months back, maybe 6-10, we were contacted by a popular college prep company who started offering a concierge service to walk the family through the full planning and application process. We spoke with the founder and president of the company at length. After an hour and a half Q&A (entire family listening in on the conversation), we all realized that I know more about the process than he does. He was making mistakes about merit aid at top universities, overstating and oversimplifying accessibility to the Ivies, and on top of that he wanted $7,500 for the service!
I am equipped with knowledge, people’s experiences and sage advice from the contributors at CC. Everything you need to make an informed, smart decision as a family is right here. Just be curious, ask questions and dig, dig, dig!
Have a great day!
