Enrollment to Completion Facts

Dear Parent,

Are you about to embark on the confusing road to college admissions for your child?

Which situation would you prefer to be in?

Situation A

  • You visit numerous colleges spending hours of drive time, meals on the road, hotels, babysitters and whining younger siblings tagging along for the ride.
  • Upon arrival, your child suddenly won’t get out of the car to tour the campus.
  • You pay for application fees for a number of schools that are not the best choice for your child.
  • Financial aid and scholarship options are confusing.
  • You have no idea what kind of social life and sports activities the school offers.
  • Your child chooses a school because it's close to home or most of their friends are also going there.
  • After a semester or two, your child is not happy and wants to transfer to a different school.

In situation B, the family has engaged the services of an educational consultant.

  • After getting to know the your child's goals and interests, a list of match schools is presented.
  • Frequently, the consultant has personally visited many of the college campuses.  Click here to see list.
  • The consultant can answer all your questions including social life and sports activities the college offers.
  • Before visiting the schools, your child receives coaching from the consultant so they know what to look for and what questions to ask.
  • The consultant assists your child in completing college applications and essays.
  • College applications are submitted on time!
  • Financial aid forms are submitted on time!
  • Acceptance letters arrive and guidance is given to your child for the best college choice.
  • Your child looks forward to starting college with the assurance a good choice was made!

In 2003, the following summary assessment was reported.*

  • 51% of students attained a bachelor's degree at the institution where they first enrolled
  • 7% were still enrolled after 6 years
  • 16% left the institution with no degree and did not transfer
  • 26% transferred to another institution

Of the 26% that transferred, 8% obtained their bachelor's degree within 6 years, 12% dropped out with no degree and 7% remain enrolled beyond the 6-year time period normally afforded an on time graduation.
