How Can I Find Out If 123 College Can Help Me?
No dollar amount can truly justify the worth of the customized Student Profile Report that we complete for each subscriber. The report contains relevant information that you might find on your own, except for the fact that we've already done all the research for you. The report also contains information that you won't find anywhere else because it's customized to your student and your family. You'll see how much every school you're considering, and every school that we've chosen for you, will cost you in your current situation. Then you'll see how much less they might cost you if your monies are in non-assessed investments. We do all of this before your student even sends in an application to the school. Think of how much time, effort, and money you can save on filling out applications, application fees, completing admission essays, and campus visits. If we can save you one trip across the country to visit a college or university, chances are it'll save you more than the cost of our entire program. That's not including any of the services you'll get for all of your student's undergraduate years.
Ask yourself, "Do I know how every line on the FAFSA is going to affect how much I'll have to pay for each college or university my child might attend?" If the answer is no, you need professional assistance. The government FAFSA site does NOT explain how each line affects how much you're going to pay. In fact, they only run an error check for mistakes that may be decreasing your EFC (expected family contribution.) They don't check for errors that may be increasing your EFC. It's a one-sided system that is not in your favor.
The college or university's financial aid offices are certainly not going to tell you how to save money to go to their school. After all, they are a business. Simply put, going to a financial aid office to file your FAFSA is the same as going to the local IRS office to complete your income tax returns. We likely agree that's not the best option if you want to be put in the best situation possible.
123 College understands the FAFSA inside and out. We will analyze your data every year before we file the form to maximize your financial aid potential. Unlike other companies, all of our FAFSA filing is completed in our home office located in the United States. We pride ourselves as being the best in the industry. 123 College has been over 99% accurate with all filings the last 10 years. Our staff files over 10,000 FAFSAs each year. How is that for experience?
Students are now taking longer and longer to graduate from college. Your student needs to choose a major before enrolling, or they could be in danger taking additional years to graduate. You could also be putting them in danger of dropping out altogether. On average, 15% of entering freshman drop out of college in the 1st semester. The average student is now taking over 5 years to graduate with their first bachelor's degree. It's important for your student to find a field that they not only enjoy doing but also excel at academically. This leads to the student staying in school and graduating on time. Four years of college costs is expensive enough. Don't be stuck paying for extra years of college when your student should be earning money in the workforce. 123 College provides a 2-hour long personality profile and aptitude test to help your student find a major or field of study.
