Families lose the college admissions game without ever realizing it.&nbsp; 
Not because they weren't smart. Not because their kid wasn't capable. Just because nobody ever sat them down and said, "Here's where to actually start."
Let's change that.&nbsp;
On Saturday, October 3, I'm hosting College Day: Designing Your Family's Admissions Roadmap — a free, full day for families with expert guidance on topics like college admissions, mental health, and financial aid.&nbsp;
The event schedule and speakers is on the graphic. Please register to receive the event invite.&nbsp;
See you there!
