Families Say
College Ready was recommended to me by one of my son’s friends. I had so many questions, so we setup a free Discovery Session. Shellee and her team made us all feel like family. I was so overwhelmed and had no idea where to start. Once Shellee got to know my son, it was great watching the two of them strategize and plan for his strengths. The Passion Project was a huge hit for him. He loved the idea of creating his own service project doing something he was passionate about and making a difference. When it came time to pick his colleges, Shellee’s experience was invaluable and a life saver. He applied to 12 colleges, got into 10 and received financial aid offers for $1,344,000.00!!! He will be able to graduate debt free and we will not have to take money out of our retirement. We are forever grateful for College Ready’s help!
College Ready is more than just a College Consulting business.They care more about the student that anyone we met including the High School staff. They helped our daughter, pick the best class schedule with rigor in her best subjects, they put together a custom testing plan, guided us through the most amazing Passion Project and helped us navigate which extra curricula’s and leadership activities were worth the time investment. College Ready was an investment in our daughter’s future we will treasure forever!
I am so glad I came to College Ready during my 8th-grade year! Their team made getting through High School and applying for colleges so much easier! They helped me stay organized as well as set high and achievable goals. Thank you Shellee and the entire College Ready team for making this so-to-be "scary" process so enjoyable!!! Shellee Howard makes it a point to develop a relationship with my children as well as my husband and I. She has helped prepare my oldest child get into college, and he is now on a large scholarship! Shellee is very organized and is very knowledgable about all things college. She made a huge difference in the college application process. From essay editing to application help and finances, Shellee does it all!
