Navigating the college admissions process is daunting. With more than 4,200 colleges in the United States to choose from and the drastic changes to the college admission process in the last 25 years — not to mention the pandemic’s impact — students and parents can find themselves drowning in information.
Class 101’s professional college advisors take an individualized approach to help students navigate the complicated college planning process and ensure families save money along the way.
Class 101 advisors make college planning a simple and enjoyable journey. It takes more than good grades and high test scores to secure admission opportunities and scholarships. As parents, we do not want to be nagging our kids for three to four years to stay on top of college preparation. Class 101 advisors work one-on-one with students to connect all of the dots and make the process enjoyable.
While many students choose to stay in-state, Class 101 advisors want students to explore options, regularly helping them attend private schools for the same or less money than an in-state university. Finding the right college fit helps students feel confident in selecting a university that will allow them to thrive. We guide students through
their college list development, high school activities and academic options, applications, admissions essays, and help students find scholarships that help make their dream school attainable.
Class 101 Mesa Gilbert students are attending universities all over the United States, including the University of California, Berkeley (on an Army ROTC scholarship), Brigham Young University, Loyola University Chicago, Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University, Georgetown, and the University of Southern California, to name a few.
Early engagement in the process is a game-changer. When it comes to maximizing college and scholarship opportunities, the earlier the better!
We recommend beginning your Class 101 journey in 9th grade. However, we work with students at all levels from 8th to 12th grade. All too often, we hear, “I wish we would have met with you years ago. You would have saved me thousands of dollars and alleviated a lot of anxiety.”
