Meet the ACE Experts
Get college advisor guidance at a FRACTION of the cost.
Who will be answering your biggest questions about college admissions this year?
🔑 Six experts.
📍 One place.
💡 Endless answers.
😫 Tired of sifting through thousands of conflicting posts on social media?
🎯 What if you had direct access to experts instead?
🤝 We’ve gathered the top minds in admissions, testing, scholarships, essays, and more…
If you have a Class of 2026 or Class of 2027 student, I will be headlining the ACE Network with 5 other AMAZING and VETTED college planning experts. As a subscription service that gives you access to gems of personalized information, you can partake in this service for as many months as you’d like at a FRACTION of the cost of what a full-time college admissions advisor would cost.
But why, might you ask, should you join this subscription service instead of working with a comprehensive coach? There are a few reasons:
*$50/month for unlimited questions (to an extent!) about essays, test prep, financial aid, scholarships, dorm needs and more is FAR MORE AFFORDABLE than $150/hr (at the low end!) for many professionals.
*If this is your first college rodeo, you’ll have access to all the questions you need, being asked by parents who know what to ask and professionals who can answer them all. No worries about wasting time—get all your information up front!
*If you don’t need comprehensive packages, this is a great way to cover all your bases without committing to meetings PLUS you get all the benefits of if you had! Zoom seminars, (nearly) immediate responses (hey, we’re still human!), and the comfort of knowing the answers you’re receiving are CORRECT and HELPFUL.
The six of us are ready to help you make this journey to college (& the subsequent transition!) all the easier!
