Your questions, answered.
- What exactly does College Countdown offer?College Countdown is a month-by-month calendar that provides high school students and their parents with actionable strategies and to-do lists for each grade level, helping them navigate the college preparation process. It offers specific guidance on what students should be doing in each month to simplify college admissions and ensure they are well-prepared for the application process.
- Which grade-level calendar should I buy?These Google Doc calendars run from July to June, so each one covers a full academic year.
If you're buying this over the summer or at the beginning of the school year, you might purchase the calendar for the grade level you're CURRENTLY in.
If you're buying this with just a few months left of school, you might want to buy the calendar for the NEXT grade level.
Or if you don't want to miss a thing, consider buying the calendar for all four grade levels at a discount, which makes it almost like getting one grade-level calendar free!
Not sure which one to buy? Email us at help@essay-coach.com first! - Does this replace hiring a college counselor?No. This doesn't replace the one-on-one, customized services that a college counselor offers. But for way less than the price of 12 lattes, you'll receive many of the same action items an advisor would have you do and think about.
- What will I get with my purchase?You'll get access to my complete 12-month calendar in Google Doc form. Each month has several action items to complete. Some months (and some grade levels) have more than others, but each month will have AT LEAST three action items.
- Will you be updating this?Yes! This will be a live document, and there may be changes and updates I make. I'll let you know if anything has changed, and the link in your purchase confirmation email will ALWAYS go to the most current Google Doc version!
- Will anything be mailed to me?No. This is a digital product only. No physical copies will be mailed to you. Immediately upon purchase, you'll receive a link in your email to the calendar in Google Docs.
- Why does the calendar run from July to June?I chose to start each calendar in July because that's when students have finished their previous year and are now considered "rising [next grade]" students. I end in June, because that's when most students will have ended their school year.
- How does College Countdown cater to different grade levels?College Countdown has specific to-do lists for 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders. Each grade-level-specific calendar outlines the action items that are most relevant to your particular grade level. Whether you're just starting high school or about to enter your senior year, College Countdown has you covered.
- How does College Countdown make the college planning journey easier?College Countdown takes the guesswork out of college prep by providing a clear roadmap for success. With our month-by-month calendar and action items, you'll have a solid plan in place to simplify the college admissions process. By knowing exactly what you need to do and when, you'll feel confident and empowered as you prepare for college. So, imagine receiving 12 months of actionable advice that helps put you on track – and keeps you there!
