The application process has more moving parts than most families realize.

College applications today involve much more than filling out a form. Essays, demonstrated interest, recommendation letters, financial aid submissions, scholarship deadlines, interview preparation, and award letter evaluation — each one matters, and most families navigate them without any guidance.

This course walks your family through the entire application process — from building the right college list to understanding your financial aid offers — with over 3 hours of video instruction, timelines, quizzes, and e-books. Then you'll sit down with a GCS expert for one hour to build a timeline specific to your student.
