TESTIMONIALS

"Shellee has been such an asset to our family in helping our high school daughter navigate the college admissions and financial aid process. She is very knowledgeable, approachable and strategic in her approach. We would be lost without her. I highly recommend her services to anyone with a high school student."

Sharael Kolberg

"I am so truly grateful to have found Shellee/College Ready. I don’t think anyone offers a service like the College Ready experience. Not with the level of care and attention and planning I got with College Ready. No one I know got even close to what we got. But the best thing of all, my smart daughter is so happy and in the perfect place for her!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

When is the best time to start a college counseling program?

The best time to start a college counseling program is when your student becomes curious about college. This may happen on a family vacation or when you tour the college you attended. Listen for the word “why” and then you know they are curious and ready to learn about the process of strategizing and applying to college. There is no right or wrong age, it is when the student is ready. Typically, we start with students in the 2nd semester of 8thgrade. We help students wherever they are in the process. We often hear, “I wish I would have known you.....”. Now is the best time to start - before mistakes are made or cannot be corrected.

Who is College Ready and what is your success rate?

College Ready was started by our founder Shellee Howard in 2008. She is a parent with four amazing children. Her oldest son shared that he wanted to be a Brain Surgeon and attend a top tier college. This was the “why” that started the advocacy of getting students into their dream schools. When her son got accepted into 7 top tier schools (without a perfect GPA or Test score) and chose Harvard (for free) everyone wanted her help. Since then, College Ready has helped thousands of families all over the world get into college. 100% of their students get into their best fit college. 93% earned full or partial scholarships. 97% got into one of their top three college choices and 97% completed their Passion Project and created positive change in our world. In 2019-2020 College Ready students received 2.7 million in grants and scholarships. We care about what you want!
