The Goal Isn't Getting In. The Goal Is Finding the Right Fit.
Admission alone does not make a college the right choice.
CFA helps families evaluate:
Understanding the Admissions Landscape
Colleges consider a number of factors when evaluating applicants:
CFA helps families understand how those factors can influence admissions and merit-aid opportunities.
There Is More to a College List Than a Ranking
A thoughtful college list starts with the student.
That means considering:
Admissions and Merit Aid Are Connected
Colleges may use merit aid strategically to attract students they want to enroll.
Understanding how a student's profile aligns with a college or university can help families identify schools where merit opportunities may exist.
College Planning & Admissions Guidance
College Selection Strategy
Evaluate schools through academic, personal, affordability and overall fit.
Admissions Perspective
Understand how the student's profile may align with different colleges and universities.
Merit Aid Opportunities
Recognize where strengths may create opportunities worth exploring.
Admissions & Recruiting
Understand how coaches, admissions and recruiting may interact.
Decision-Making
Evaluate the pros, cons, costs and implications of different choices.
What CFA Does Not Do
CFA does not write, edit or critique essays; complete applications; manage submissions; or chase deadlines.
CFA's role is to provide guidance, perspective and admissions strategy that help families make informed decisions.
A Better Question Than “Can I Get In?”
The college saying yes is only one part of the decision.
The goal isn't simply admission.
