BONUS when you enroll by Friday, October 23 at midnight ET: the Admissions Evaluator. Andy's proprietary app shows how your child REALLY stacks up at every college on the list: safety, target, reach or long shot. Naviance shows you 3 factors. Admissions officers weigh 25. Build a balanced, strategic list and avoid Admissions Armageddon.

FAST ACTION BONUS, TONIGHT ONLY (enroll by midnight ET, Wednesday, October 21): Andy's live Negotiation Workshop ($197). Client-only, in the first two weeks of December. Andy walks you through the appeal playbook live, on top of Pearl's one-on-one help negotiating your awards. When Andy rolls it out in December, he'll charge at least $197 for it.

FAST ACTION BONUS, TONIGHT ONLY (enroll by midnight ET, Wednesday, October 21): the Scholarship Jumpstart Session. Meet with our scholarship search specialist, who finds 5 to 8 scholarships custom-tailored to your child, coaches your child on how to apply, and keeps researching to turn up more.

The 5X Promise. If Pearl can't show you, in writing, a legal and ethical way to get at least 5 TIMES her fee in need-based or merit aid ($14,975 or more), you get a prompt and cheerful 100% refund. No hassles. No hard feelings. (Your Financial Aid Strategy Session with Pearl must be scheduled and attended within 30 days of enrolling.)

"My son is going to a top school (GW) on monies he received totally from Andrew's involvement. He looked me in the eye when I asked him what his success rate was and replied without hesitation, 'I get my clients 5 times the amount of their investment with me.' HE WASN'T KIDDING!!! Best money I ever spent."

Scott Sanders, parent

Pearl takes only 12 new families per enrollment cycle.

Prefer to spread it out? Pick 3 monthly payments. Your $500 comes off the first one, so you pay $765 today, then 2 monthly payments of $1,265.

Note: federal rules appear to prevent consultants like us from charging to file the FAFSA. That's why you are retaining us for advice and counsel, not this specific service. However...

...We will file the FAFSA for you if you'd like, but as a courtesy, free, not as part of our fee.
