Ever wonder why some students seem to navigate the college admission process effortlessly while others struggle? The difference often comes down to timing and expert guidance. Rod Meeker, an education consultant with 19 years of experience, reveals the critical mistakes families make when planning for college—and how to avoid them.

”Time flies when you have busy high school kids,” Rod explains, highlighting the dangerous misconception that families have plenty of time to figure out college applications. By the time junior or senior year arrives, many find themselves overwhelmed with too little time to complete everything needed for successful applications and scholarship opportunities. The solution? Start early—ideally during freshman or sophomore year.

Rod's journey to becoming an education consultant evolved naturally from his experiences in teaching, coaching, banking, and financial planning. While working with families on financial matters, he noticed a significant knowledge gap surrounding college preparation. This realization sparked his passion for guiding students through every aspect of the college application process, from building college lists and crafting academic resumes to preparing for standardized tests and writing compelling essays.

What makes Rod's approach unique is his commitment to unlimited access—a rare offering in the education consulting world. His team of essay coaches and career counselors provides comprehensive support without arbitrary meeting limits. This personalized attention helps explain his impressive track record of getting students into their preferred colleges with substantial scholarship money, making higher education more affordable for families.
