College Planning Mistakes
Getting into a great college at a great price has a lot to do with what you do, years ahead of the actual college applications.
But it's also largely about what you DON'T DO. As in, staying away from self-inflicted, self-sabotaging mistakes along the way.
There are two types of mistakes that families make: 1. mistakes of commission and 2. mistakes of omission.
The first category is more active. You do the wrong thing. Example, you focus on the standardized test that is wrong for you, such as the ACT instead of the SAT. Or, you start prepping for the SAT too late, which puts pressure on you because of the delay, and you can't get your best scores.
The second category, omission, is when your error is based on something you didn't do. Example: failing to strategically shelter your savings to avoid getting unnecessarily penalized in the financial aid formulas, thereby losing out on grants or scholarships that you could have otherwise won.
I want to help you avoid shooting yourself in the footsie, so we're running a new, live webinar this Wednesday night, A Dirty Dozen Deadly College Planning Mistakes...and how to avoid them. It's free and 100% sales pitch-free, there's nothing to buy. Topics include:
