College Planning isn’t just about “doing your best” and applying.The Numbers don't Lie. Know your chances."The 12 American universities with acceptance rates under 10 percent only have spots for 15,000 students. That number wouldn't accommodate most of the valedictorians at America's 37,000 public and private schools, and the odds decrease when you factor in international students." - San Jose Mercury News (July 2015)

~ 6 of the 23 CSU Schools are FULLY impacted. This means the requirements are higher than before, due to competition. 11 of the remaining 17 are beginning to impact their programs.

~ Earlier this year, the California governor signed a bill allotting 50% of UC spots to be transfer students from community. This means less spots for quali�ed high school seniors.

~ Private, for-pro�t colleges account for roughly 11% of the student population, but account for nearly 50% of the total student debt.

“Helpful and Effective...”

“Very Persistent, Highly Organized, and Dedicated...”

“Understand everything to prepare and organize for a well-rounded application.”

“Thank You so much! My Mom called me andsounded really happy.”
