College admissions isn’t random. It’s about fit. Here’s how students secure admission with full funding. Hello Reader, All colleges have preferences. They are looking for certain kinds of students who match what they value and need in a given admissions cycle. Those preferences may be connected to course of study, leadership, athletics, artistic talent, geographic diversity, institutional priorities—and more. To be successful in college admissions, there must be a true fit between a college’s preferences and a prospective student’s attributes and preparedness. When there is a good fit—like a lock and key—the admissions process works beautifully. I explained this in response to a question from a student inside our program. You can watch that short clip below: Here’s the beautiful part: For any one student, there are not just one—but several—of those lock-and-key fits. The key is knowing how to find them. That is exactly what we do inside CFF College Fully Funded®. We work with high school juniors/rising seniors and prospective transfer students to help them:
Colleges have their criteria and preferences. We help our students ensure that their preparedness and attributes align with institutions actively looking for what they bring—and willing to fully fund them. Then we help them package their strengths into a coherent, compelling narrative that is irresistible to admissions committees—using our tried-and-tested CFF College Fully Funded® framework. That’s why our students are so successful. And we are so confident in our process that we offer a guarantee: If a student follows our method and advice completely and does not realize our program promise of admission with full funding, we will continue working with that student for another year as a transfer applicant—free of charge. If you have a current high school junior who will be applying to college in Fall 2026, enrollment for our summer coaching is now open. Spots will fill quickly. If you are interested, reach out here to start a conversation. To college fully funded,
