Free College Admissions Advice

Free College Admissions Advice February 13 We ask that parents and students fill out our consultation form to initiate inquiring about our services. Parents and students often call in saying that they have a few questions for us. They then get right to it by telling us about themselves (or their child) before launching into longwinded questions. We sometimes wonder how they even know theyre not speaking to themselves since we often dont get to insert a word edgewise into the conversation. After theyre done with their initial spiel, we finally get the chance to say, Have you been on our website and filled out our consultation form, which youll find by clicking on the bright orange button? They often reply, No, but can you answer my questions? And then theyre shocked when we say, No. Youll need to fill out our consultation form and schedule a time for a consultation, in which we will answer questions about our service offerings. And of course they get quite frustrated at this point. But thats too bad. If we spent time answering everyones questions, wed be on the phone all day and we would not have time to bake apple pies and  help our students gain admission to the colleges of their dreams. And if these parents and students want to discuss their (or their childs) particular case for admission, its not like well discuss that over a free consult either. Thats only during a paid evaluation. We offer quite a bit of advise for free on our college admissions blog. Although most of our best kept secrets remain off the pages of this blog since these are reserved for our clients It never ceases to amaze us how many folks seem to not only want but indeed expect assistance for free. And then they are shocked when we are unwilling to give it. Well thats just too bad. If they want to huff and puff about it, they are welcome to do so. But were still not giving them the advice they seek for free. We are an American business.
