Families Say
Our family had a wonderful experience with College Ready. We started our daughter in the program during her freshman year, and by her senior year when the time came to submit her applications she was perfectly prepared. There was almost no stress because the process helps to collect all of the students unique academic, volunteer, sports, and work achievements all along the journey, so that the information is ready to be inserted into the applications. Our daughter had many thoughtful conversations with her counselor about what makes her unique, potential fields of study, types of schools that appealed to her and where the schools were located. She was fully prepared to submit her applications and as parents we were able to just watch it all happen from the sidelines. The acceptances and some rejections flowed in, and our daughter had many schools to choose from along with multiple academic scholarships options. Ultimately, she chose a school that she absolutely fell in love with, which is exactly what every parent dreams of for their young adult. Thank you to Shellee and her team.
I cannot say enough great things about Shellee Howard and her team of professionals. Our daughter is on track, stress-free and excited about this process of applying to colleges. Shellee has prepared her, supported her, held her accountable and so much more.
We’ve truly valued our partnership with College Ready and the impact it has had on our school community. Their webinars have been an incredible resource for our families. Feedback from our families includes the webinar is clear, informative, and highly relevant in helping them navigate the college planning process.

The expertise and support they provide have made a meaningful difference for our students and families, and we’re grateful for the collaboration.
