Return on Investment
There's no denying college is expensive. The average cost of attending a public in-state college for a student is $103,456 over 4 years. The average cost for a private college is $215,796 over four years.
Even with the HOPE scholarship, most Georgia publics are going to set you back between $60-80k, if your student lives on campus. If your student doesn't graduate in 4 years, or loses their award, that number will be even higher.
But it doesn't have to be.
81% of my students from the Classes of 2019 & 2020 received institutional merit awards totaling $615,700.
These awards ranged from $20k to $120k (over 4 years), with an average award of $72k.
I am proud of every single one of my students. They work HARD to ensure they will be successful during the college admissions process. While I do not guarantee admissions to any school, I do spend a lot of time helping them cultivate a balanced list of colleges that align with their priorities. Over the years, my students have been admitted to over 80 colleges in 23 states, plus Washington, D.C., and Switzerland.

College is an investment.
Let me invest in you.
I would like to take a minute to thank you for your work with our son. Giving him the opportunity to look at a large number of schools and then making an informed decision means a great deal to me. He ended up with a school I would have never have dreamed of and after going to the campus I think he will be happy. He will be able to graduate without student debt if he keeps on track; this is exactly the outcome we are looking for. Hiring you was the best money we EVER spent!
