Successful college applicants stand out among thousands of students. Do you know what their secret is? Most people don’t. But good news! Mesa-Gilbert Class 101 is here to provide you expert support.
Throughout high school, Class 101’s professional college advisors take an individualized approach to help students navigate the complicated college planning process.
Navigating the college admissions process is daunting. With more than 5,000 colleges in the United States to choose from and the drastic changes to the college admission process in the last 25 years, students and parents can find themselves drowning in information.
“Students must maintain high grades, participate in extracurriculars, take on leadership roles, prepare for the ACT and SAT, write essays, apply for colleges, and then try to choose the perfect college for them,” said Shawn Coats, owner of Mesa-Gilbert Class 101. “Is it the university that offers the highest scholarship award, or the university where the student can continue their sport?” Shawn continued. “It depends and must be evaluated on an individual basis.”
While many choose to stay in state, Mesa-Gilbert Class 101 wants students to have options, regularly helping them attend private schools for the same or less money than an in-state university. Class 101 college advisors help students find the university that will allow them to thrive.
Class 101, a national college planning franchise, is proud of its record over the past 21 years — nearly 95 percent of students who participated earned a four-year degree at the university they enrolled in freshman year.
Mesa-Gilbert Class 101 advisors can guide students through their college applications and admissions essays, and help students find scholarships that help make their dream school attainable.
“We are incredibly proud of our students and their accomplishments during the 2018-2019 school year,” boasted Shawn. “This year, we have two Obama Scholars attending Arizona State University on a full-ride, two National Merit Commended Scholars, two students earned Congressional Nominations to Military Academies, and one student was acknowledged by the College Board’s National Hispanic Recognition Program.”
Mesa-Gilbert Class 101 students will be attending schools all over the United States, including the University of California, Berkeley (on an Army ROTC scholarship), Loyola University Chicago, Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University and Saint Louis University, to name a few.
Mesa-Gilbert Class 101 offers complimentary consultations with professional college advisors. “While it’s best to start early, we can help your high school freshman or senior,” said Shawn. “Oftentimes we hear, ‘I wish we would have met with you years ago. You would have saved me thousands of dollars.’”
