“The team at Midwest College Planning are fantastic, and I HIGHLY recommend them to help guide you through the overwhelming college process. Some of the services we took advantage of (all included) were: assisting with the financial aid package, identifying potential schools (local or out of state), evaluating scholarship offers, critiquing essays, and recommending tutors for ACT/SAT. They even helped us write a letter that doubled our scholarship offer—more than covering the cost of their services. Having another voice to keep my child accountable was invaluable.”
