Ian Welham, Complete College Planning Solutions, Interviewed On News 12

Aug. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Springfield, NJ –Ian Welham, CCFA, co-founder of Complete College Planning Solutions was recently interviewed by Bryan Jenkins, Host, “12 In Our Schools,” News 12 New Jersey.  The show will air multiple times August 20th and August 21st.  His topic was the importance of the college visit and how to utilize it as a way to differentiate oneself to college admissions.  Some of the points that were touched on during the interview were:

Schedule a college visit with each school. Sign up for the campus tour with Admissions.
Research the faculty in departments where you have interest. Try to schedule a brief meeting with those professors.
At every step of the way, communicate your interest in writing whether by simply sending a thank you note or stating specific reasons why you want to attend and what you bring to the school.
Find out about and attend Accepted Student Days.

Ian has been a guest on Bryan's show before and states, “I enjoy talking with him. He's a strong believer in education, and works hard to find helpful information for NJ families….”

Complete College Planning Solutions details how to get the maximum amount of financial aid a family is entitled to, so they pay the least amount out-of-pocket, regardless of income level.   This information is not readily available and even the “experts” may not be savvy to this new “niche” of college planning and financing.  Historically, over 90% of New Jersey families overpay for college.

Equally as important to a child’s success, Complete College Planning Solutions provides guidance on locating the correct “fit” academically between the child and an institution of higher learning.  There are no other comparable companies that offer this unique “synchronicity” of financial and educational guidance.
