A college visit is crucial to understanding a school and determining if it is a good fit for you academically, extracurricularly, and socially. The actions you take on a tour can greatly impact whether you truly get to know the school on a deeper level or not.

Most students and families make regrettable mistakes when planning and executing their visits. Some mistakes may be irreversible. This course will provide you with expert strategies to avoid these pitfalls and make the most of the experience. College visits require significant time, energy, and coordination; it is important to plan well in order to take advantage of the time that you have on campus and make every move a strategic step toward a successful outcome! This course will take the guesswork out of organizing and preparing for your visit.

Your job is not done when you step foot off campus. Acing Your College Visits will teach you the art of the visit followup and how to use college visits to make informed decisions and stand out in the college application process!

There are no milestones or achievements to unlock--just full access to all of my strategies, guides, and resources that have proven to be incredibly successful throughout my past 15+ years of experience.
Why should I buy your course? How do I know this is worth it?
I decided to make this course because I saw a huge gap when it came to the level of support students need to be successful in college applications and the level of support being provided via normal channels. My 15+ years of college admissions counseling experience and over 30,000 hours of tutoring have provided me with an in-depth repertoire of knowledge as well as the skills I need in order to teach it to others. I am a member of Higher Education Consultants Association, the College Reading and Learning Association, and the National Tutoring Association and have visited over 200 college and universities to-date. One of my main goals as an educator and counselor is to stay up-to-date about the ever-changing college application process and ensure that my clients are using every tool as their disposals as effectively as possible. I've successfully helped hundreds of high school students get admitted to over 500 U.S. colleges and universities, many of which are the top-choice institutions for my students. My goal through this online course is to make my resources, tips, and guides accessible to a larger audience on an easy-to-use platform and help you get those long sought-after acceptances.

No, but you are welcome (and encouraged) to repurchase this course as you see fit! Each one-time payment will grant you 12 months of unlimited access.

Do you offer an admissions guarantee?
I am confident that the tools, resources, guides and advice can help you maximize the potential of your college applications. However, unfortunately there is not a way for me to know that all guidance is being implemented, and we do not offer a guarantee of admission. That being said, we are a small business and pride ourselves on our wonderful customer service, so if at any time you feel dissatisfied with the course, we encourage you to reach out. We're happy to help.
Do you offer bulk subscriptions?
