The Starfish.
The starfish is symbolic of my consulting practice's 5 major points:
Essay & Short Answers, Financial Aid, Application Completion, College and Career Match, and Letters of Recommendation
This handout discusses how a letter of recommendation can be an impactful asset to a student's overall application package. Many times, a letter of recommendation is either a form letter used for many students or a listing of information already submitted via the application or transcripts.
This useful FAQ (frequently asked question) chart was compiled by using actual questions I answered during my one-on-one sessions. Many of the same questions were asked by different families.
This college comparison guide can be used to make a logical and informed decision on which colleges to pursue. Because I built this chart for students in my local area, I chose schools which were frequently attended by graduates from The Woodlands, Texas. I will be opening virtual sessions this year and will be able to construct a personalized chart for specific areas of the country.
In full disclosure and to give proper credit and citation, these are the handouts used with my workbook. They are not included as part of the manuscript, but will be used independently as a resource from a separate source, creator, or author.
This workbook is a great primer to gain an overall understanding of the complexity of the financial aspect of college admissions. During our sessions, we will review, discuss, and examine together this 16 page workbook.
