Don’t Wait Until 12th Grade!
College applications and financial aid are detailed, multi-step processes and should not be postponed until the first semester of senior year. By starting early, College Simple gives every junior the opportunity to build a thoughtful college list, start the Common Application, draft their personal essay, and plan a productive, purpose-driven summer before senior year.
At College Simple, we have a counseling service for every need and every budget. Check our services for 11th-graders below to choose the one fits best for your needs.
