Who This Cohort Is For
This cohort is designed for parents who want clarity, structure, and support as they navigate the college process without turning their household into a stress factory.

Feel overwhelmed or behind by college planning

Care more about fit and affordability than rankings

What It Is
What the Cohort Experience Looks Like
If the word “cohort” sounds intimidating, don’t worry. This is a small, guided group experience designed to give parents structure, clarity, and support without adding more to your plate.
The cohort includes:
-
A small group of up to 40 parents
-
A clear start date on April 1
-
Guided weekly structure so you always know what to focus on
-
Live group sessions with expert guidance
-
24/7 support in our private Facebook group
-
Practical tools and templates you can actually use
-
Optional AI support that teaches kids how to think, not shortcut
You won’t be watching hours of videos. You won’t be buried in busywork. And you won’t be left to figure things out on your own.
Why It's Different
Why This Cohort Is Different
Real Expertise, Not Internet Advice
This cohort is led by an educator and college admissions expert with decades of real-world experience. You’re not getting recycled blog tips or generic checklists.
AI as the Assistant, Not the Brain
AI is used as a tool to support thinking, planning, and clarity. Parents and students are taught how to use it responsibly and effectively, not as a shortcut or replacement for effort.
Built for Real Families
This experience is designed for busy parents, real budgets, and real teenagers. The focus is on fit, affordability, and long-term outcomes, not hype or prestige chasing.
Structure Without Pressure
You get a clear path forward without feeling rushed or judged. The cohort provides guidance and accountability while respecting that every family’s situation is different.
Outcomes
What Parents Walk Away With
The goal of this cohort isn’t to overwhelm you with information. It’s to help you feel grounded, confident, and clear about what actually matters for your family.
Parents leave the cohort with:
-
A realistic, personalized college planning timeline
-
A clear understanding of fit versus rankings
-
A college list that is clear, vetted, and realistic
-
Common App strategy based around the student's story
-
Personal Statement strategy, tools, and support
-
Better, calmer conversations with their teen
-
Tools to reduce stress and decision fatigue
-
Clear guidance on paying for college that is grounded in reality, not aspirations
-
And much more...
Most parents say the biggest benefit is finally feeling like they have a plan instead of a pile of questions.

A Track Record Parents Trust
“We were spinning our wheels and constantly second-guessing every decision. The college process felt confusing and overwhelming, and we weren’t sure what actually mattered. This experience gave us structure right away, but more importantly, it gave us clarity and confidence. Instead of reacting to every deadline or piece of advice, we finally felt like we had a plan that made sense for our family. The stress level in our house genuinely went down.”
-Cara L, Class of 22, 24, and 26 Parent
