Colleges Are Businesses - They Negotiate!
Why You Shouldn't Expect A Great Offer
Because colleges want your money, it's brain-dead logical that you will NOT always get their "highest and best" offer, notwithstanding empty promises and assurances on their websites about making college affordable for everyone and other baloney!
Can't the financial aid office help you?
Um...yeah. Let's think this one through.
Asking an employee of a business, "Hey, pal, how can I get more money from your boss?" may not result in the helpful information you want. (Would you call the IRS to ask about any new "hot" deductions this year?)
I'm sure you'll agree that giving out this info wouldn't be the best career move for the financial aid officer!
Look, you can get what you want, and need...
...if you learn how to play "The Game!"

"My son is going to a top college (George Washington) on monies he received totally from Andy's involvement. He looked me in the eye and told me...'I get my clients five times the amount of their investment. HE WASN'T KIDDING!!! Best money I ever spent. "

NOTE: ALL SALES ARE FINAL
We cannot guarantee results because that is unethical and against the canons of major associations in college advising, which we subscribe to. There are numerous factors outside our control, including but not limited to: your colleges's budget, your student's standing relative to other admitted students, your financial situation, how you completed your financial aid applications, more.
Just One Piece of Advice Can Make the Unaffordable College, Suddenly AFFORDABLE
Although I've done my darndest to assemble the course materials (video and sample letters) in as user-friendly a manner as capable, the truth is that you need only one "nugget" to improve an offer by thousands, or perhaps tens of thousands, of dollars.
I'm genuinely excited for you to dig into the course materials, because I believe the pandemic has created perhaps the greatest opportunity ever to negotiate with colleges, who are scrambling around like never before, competing with EACH OTHER, for your student's enrollment!
