WARNING: This is NOT the "same old, same old" that you'll hear at your high school's "College Night" (waste of time). At this live, in-person event, you will discover...
Ivy League Admissions "Secrets"
You will discover a "blueprint" for exactly what admissions officers at top colleges are looking for, so that you child can get into his or her Dream College.
How to Write an Essay That "Sells"
The personal statement and supplemental essays are your kid's last chance to persuade their admissions officer why THEY should be chosen.
How to Pay "Wholesale" for College
How to secure tens of thousands in scholarships and financial aid, even if you think you "make too much money" to qualify for anything.
Spots are limited by the size of the classroom. Secure your seat now so you don't miss out on this valuable information (that you can't get anywhere else)!
Which questions do you have?
- Can your kid get into a decent college? How does he "stack up" compared to the competition?
- What specific strategies will improve chances of acceptance to his "Dream School?"
- Do you make too much to qualify for scholarships or other financial aid or can you "beat the system?"
- How can she possibly stand out from 50,000 competitors who look the same on paper?
Those are just some of the "burning questions" we'll answer at your workshop.

- Exposed! The uncensored, counter-intuitive reason why six and seven-figure earning families have a better shot at some types of aid than lower earners
- Got a 529? Watch out. The shocking reason why that could be a fatal mistake (and how you might be able to fix things at the last minute)

The Weston High School PTO hosted Andy for an extremely informative and entertaining seminar.
The PTO received terrific feedback and we are looking forward to having Andy back next year -- kudos to Andy for a job well done!

Andrew Lockwood has conducted two classes at the South Huntington Public library. Each event was well attended and parents seemed to be very interested in the material presented. I would recommend that any library in an area with a significant population of college-bound children host a similar workshop with Mr. Lockwood.

Please thank Andy Lockwood for his wonderful presentation at our recent Board Meeting. We found it very informative and helpful.
I am sure a lot of the parents who attended the presentation will be following up with him for subsequent meetings.
Thanks again,- Lisa Edelblum

Workshop FAQs
is there a fee for the workshop?
Nope.
Why isn't there a fee for the workshop -- are you selling something the way they do on those timeshare presentations?
The workshop is free and sales pitch-free. But we're both adults and I'm sure you understand that giving presentations promotes public awareness of our college advisory business.
However, there is nothing to buy at this educational workshop, even if you wanted to. (If you are interested in learning about our college advisory services, we'll put you in touch with an enrollment advisor for a private meeting, if we are currently taking on new clients.)
Where is the workshop (live or online)?
The workshop is live, face to face, at our classroom in Glen Head (Long Island NY).
How long is the workshop?
The presentation runs approximately two hours including Q&A.
Should I bring anything to the workshop?
Bring a pen and notebook, and get ready to take a lot of notes.
Should I bring my son or daughter to the workshop?
Not a bad idea, but it's up to you. If your child is motivated and wants to learn strategies to help him or her get into a highly competitive college, by all means, bring 'em along!
If I've already gone to my high school's College Night do I need to come to this?
This workshop is much different than the typical high school presentation. You will be exposed to strategies and truths (including non politically-correct ones) that private and public high schools can't discuss.
Is your workshop appropriate for easily-offended, sensitive parents without a sense of humor?
Hard no.
