College Planning Network

Paying for College
1

<p>I have a junior in high school and we are just starting the financial aid portion of the search. I have listened to a video presentation and had an initial consultation with the COllege Planning Network. They promise big things but i am skeptical. Anyone have any first hand knowledge of this company? Can they help as they promise to?</p>

<p>I am curious to know more about College Planning Network. I had consultation over the phone and they promise they can save me a lot of money. I am just doing some research on this company, and wondering if anyone had any further experiences with them. Is it worth paying $3K??</p>

<p>What can they help you with that college confidential can’t?
That $3,000 can go a long way towards college tours and applications.</p>

<p>I find it hilarious (and extremely suspicious) that these “newbies” coincidentally came out of nowhere to inquire about this. Enough said.;)</p>

<p>I agree with emeraldkity4, what are you getting for $3k that you can’t do for yourself with a little time and Google?!</p>

<p>I’m a do it yourself-er and I’ve seen many of these programs that do the exact same thing you can do with your own research.</p>

<p>But if you’re the type that likes it “done for you” and have $3,000 to burn, then I guess…</p>
