College Money Academy Details
If you have high school aged kids and you plan on sending them to college, did you know that you absolutely do NOT have to pay full price? Ever! You see, college is a business. They sell a product (an education) and they have customers (students). And just like every other business, there is room to negotiate; therefore, there are three "secrets" that we must not forget:#1 - You must ignore the Cost Of Attendance (COA) - This is the number listed by every school as the "all-in" cost. You will NOT pay this price (that is, if you know how to inject ethical principles of negotiation into the college selection process.)#2 - The school will virtually always "lowball" a student. Why? Because they wait to see if you accept all the government money that is offered. Why should they put their money on the table first when the government will just literally hand it out to anybody to pay the bill?#3 - You can APPEAL their "low" financial aid offer. That's right, you can literally appeal their initial aid offer and if they want your kid, the only thing they can offer is money...it's shocking how good well this works.For me personally, when it was time to send my firstborn to college, it cost me $3,800 for a $27,000 university...the school we chose offered an additional $14,300 per year after we appealed. She had a 3.4 GPA, an ACT test score of 24 and she never played a varsity sport…basically, she was not some amazing student. But we focused on packaging her correctly and then getting her schools competing for her decision.Please parents, DO NOT FALL FOR THE IDEA THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FULL PRICE. And worse, do not make the decision to send your kiddo to a lessor school because of the cost. This is why College Money Academy exists. We are the only online, self-paced program that teaches parents EXACTLY how to do this for themselves. Dig in, we'll prove it to you.
