How Class 101 Empowers Students, Serves Families, and Inspires Greatness

The college application process is complicated. Students have to compete with other students. Families have to cope with the stress of acceptances and rejections. The financial aid process leaves many people without the support they need to attend the college they want. These problems can have long-term consequences on students and families. 

Class 101 solves these problems. As independent college advisors, we help high school students get into better colleges and qualify for higher amounts of scholarships and financial aid. Students work individually with our college planners and meet once or so a month for hour-long sessions throughout the year. The sessions prepare the student to take standardized tests, improve GPA, work on building a large list of schools that are a good fit, prepare a high-performance resume for colleges, write a powerful essay, visit schools, complete applications ahead of schedule and navigate the scholarship and financial aid processes.

These opportunities set students up to future success. While one in three students drop out in their freshman year according to U.S. News & World Report, less than five percent of Class 101 students do the same. While the average American high school student applies to two to three schools and receives about $20,000 in scholarships and aid, our students apply to 7 to 10 schools and on average, receive up to $219,000 in scholarship and aid. 

We believe in cutting the stress out of the application process and giving students every chance to succeed. If our program sounds interesting to you, we invite you to reach out to us today for a free consultation.
