| Hello Reader, Do you have a rising high school freshman, sophomore or junior in your life? In other words you have someone in your life who would be in grade 9, 10, or 11 by September of this year? Or are you someone who fits this description? If so please read on. If not, please forward this to somebody who fits the above description. I encourage you use CARA in your college planning. The College Admission Readiness Audit (CARA) is a detailed assessment and report that will help prepare your family for the college admission cycle. It starts with a detailed questionnaire that assesses your student's preparedness for applying to college. This is followed by a detailed assessment result and an hour-long call to go over the results. Bottom line, you get recommendations on what to be doing now, to set your prospective college student up for success when it comes time to apply to colleges. The assessment will cover the main areas of our CFF College Fully Funded® framework: college list, academic record, extra-curricular and leadership record, and more. Wouldn't it be nice to start preparing 1, 2, and 3 years ahead of time and avoid the last-minute scramble and panic? Summer is the best time to take advantage of CARA so that your prospective college student goes into the new school year in the fall with a clearly mapped out plan. Are you ready for CARA? If so, sign up here. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out. I can't wait to work with your family on this. Looking forward to hearing from you. To college fully funded,
