The Growing Gap
College admissions has become increasingly competitive and complex, creating significant challenges for today's students.
-
Overwhelming Options: With over 4,000 colleges nationwide, finding the right fit academically, socially, and financially can be paralyzing
-
Rising Competition: Many selective colleges now accept fewer than 10% of applicants, requiring strategic preparation beginning in freshman year
-
Financial Complexity: The average four-year degree costs $120,000+ at public universities and $220,000+ at private institutions, yet billions in aid goes unclaimed annually
-
Hidden Requirements: Many students miss critical deadlines or application components that can make or break their college prospects
-
Florida-Specific Challenges: Local students face unique hurdles with Bright Futures requirements and state system admissions
Most families feel overwhelmed navigating this process on their own, leaving them feeling unprepared for what has become a highly sophisticated admissions landscape.
