College Ready

Shellee is a wealth of knowledge and gave us incredible incite on how to procede with helping our son apply for college.

We were very happy with the support and organization that College Ready provided which lowered the stress level for both the parents and our son throughout the college application process. College Ready gave us a clear plan of action and the counselor that was assigned to our son, Christine, was amazing going way beyond the call of duty to support him. You could tell she really cared. We would recommend College Ready.

“College Ready” offers very comprehensive college admission strategies, develop a unique approach based on individual student’s requirements.

Debra Wood from “College Ready” is truly an outstanding mentor / teacher. Her passion for education, dedication, deep knowledge in overall college admission process is testimony of her work.

My husband and myself are very lucky to have Debra as our son’s mentor, Debra has lots of patience to deal with teenagers, she takes time to explain things clearly.

Working with Shellee and the College Ready team gave my husband and I, but more importantly my daughter, so much peace and confidence as she began searching for not only the right college for her but the right career path. When my daughter would meet with Shellee I was amazed at how Shellee could speak to her in a way that she actually wanted to listen and learn. It's a rare gift that Shellee has in motivating and guiding teenagers through one of the most important decisions they've had to make.
We couldn't be happier, thank you for working with Macy!

Shellee is very knowledgeable and eager to assist students and parents in obtaining the most cost-effective way to get a college degree.

Our discovery call with College Ready was very informative. We chose to sign up for the service and we believe this will greatly benefit our college bound teen. We will update our review again once we start using the service.

So far we have just had an introductory call with Shellee and Keri. It was fast and easy to make the appt. We did a zoom call with them and our kids (freshmen). They were both very engaged with the kids, positive about the upcoming years and reassured them that they will take things at their pace. They also taught us about the key elements that colleges look for in a student application. We are hopeful that this program will be the support that the kids and I are looking for!

I took the College Ready free webinar and found it useful enough to do the discovery session — which is rare. Shellee had practical tips around financial aid which made me think there may be hope for getting some money after all and potentially saved me from not being able to apply later if my circumstances change. She also got me thinking about my younger son a lot early than I would have. I find them practical and strategic and extremely knowledgeable in ways that even as a well-researched parent, I couldn’t be.

We have had a great experience so far. Our daughter (who had no real idea what she wanted to do) spoke to Chantel. Chantel immediately had a great rapport with her and quickly helped her understand her strengths and some areas to focus on. We are very glad we have had College Ready's help.

College Ready has been a great experience for our daughter Taylor and our family. It helped us develop a strategic approach, helping Taylor stand out from the competitive crowd, getting accepted from all seven of the colleges that she applied to, and receiving scholarships from six of the seven schools. This exceeded our expectation. Thank you Shellee, Michelle, and Kristine.

Shellee was prompt in scheduling our discovery call, which was impressive and showed her commitment to helping us. During the discovery call, she took the time to understand my dughter’s academic strengths, interests, and career aspirations. She explained some of the application process, suggested various community service initiatives and extracurricular activities that could enhance my daughter’s application and offered guidance on essays. Overall we left the call with a sense of direction, which relieved a lot of our anxiety about college applications.

I just want to say how thankful we are we signed up our son with you! You’re simply magnificent! You do a million plus things for your students! My husband and I the other day was just in awe watching the “vault” video! You really go above and beyond with everything you’ve been doing for your students. when I say YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST, I’m not exaggerating!! Forever grateful and worth every penny!!! I mean that!!
Thank you for not leaving any questions unanswered!

Shellee and her team has been great to work with! They have a wealth of knowledge and we are excited to be working with them over the next 5 or so years, with our son who is currently in 8th grade. I highly recommend if you are looking for a College Ready Coach!!!

Shellee Howard is fabulous! She brings a holistic approach to the transition to college for both students and their parents. She really "gets it"!

It was a great comfort to work with College Ready during my daughter's high school education while she was preparing for university. Her advisors provided us with extensive information and guidance. They were knowledgeable and helped us with everything.

Shellee Howard is a professional who knows her job well and can establish a good bond between the student and her advisor after her talk with you. Our advisor, Ms. Debra (Advisor), with her expertise and experience, helped us identify the right universities to match my daughter's interests. She also gave detailed information about university applications and success scholarships.

Their guidance allowed us to follow the right steps to streamline the application process. It's impossible for very busy parents to easily keep track of their dates, processes and to-do lists! We often overlook this process. But they...

College ready was an excellent resource for our daughter. Very professional worked on a one to one basis with her on building her resume and providing excellent feedback on her essays. We would recommend without any reservation.

As a mother , I was looking to find a great college consular to help my son getting ready for his future education.

I’m so grateful to know Shellee and her amazing team , to give all resources , support and encouragement to my son .
She is so passionate , not only helping students , but a big heart to help others .

The college ready team was very useful and helped in every step. Professional, informative, timely and took a lot of the pressure of us and our daughter. Thanks would use them again in a heartbeat.

Our daughter is in her first year of high school, and we signed on with College Ready. We are impressed with the staff's experience and knowledge. We look forward to continuing the college preparations with Shellee, Kristine, and Michelle.

Shellee was amazing. Her team helped my daughter get accepted to 7 universities and a full ride to The University of Virginia. Would highly recommend.

We have had a great experience helping our son get ready for college. Shellee and her team have helped us learn all the ins and outs if how to prepare for college admissions!

This is amazing
Thank you

Shellee really knows her stuff. I have yet to have her say "I will get back to you on that." Every 8th grader should have the opportunity to speak with Shellee to help them see how college fits into their future.

CollegeReady helped me land in one of my top colleges, the University of Georgia! I was very pleased with their services. They were there when I needed them despite me entering the college applications process very late. Nevertheless, they helped me navigate essays, FAFSA, and any other applications questions in a timely manner. I met numerous tutors and expert mentors who provided all the information I needed for success.

When we first contacted Shelley we really thought we were behind in the college application process (we were). But Shelley and her team calmed our nerves and guided us successfully every step of the way! The college process can be so stressful. With the help of the College Ready team we were able to feel confident and celebrate along the way with our student. And now he is going to his dream school with hefty scholarships!!! Yahoo!!! We could not be more grateful and thankful for the College Ready team!!!!

College Ready and their team were the ultimate guide for our daughter (and for us) in all aspects of the college selection, application and preparation process. They delivered spot on advice and guidance the whole way and they were so easy to work with. I can't recommend them enough.

Shellee was amazing at helping my daughter navigate the college admissions process. Not only did she help my daughter get into her dream college, but she also got more than $100,000 in scholarship offers. I highly recommend Shellee!

I wish I was made aware of College Ready sooner! I did not avoid Law school debt. However, Shellee and her team provide strategy to minimize, and in some circumstances, completely avoid tuition debt. I am quick to refer College Ready to anyone in High School that wants to be strategic about college debt avoidance. Shellee's methods are proven.

College Ready... Phew where to start! The brains behind the operations Shellee Howard is outstanding and full of knowledge. You will have no worries whether or not you are missing something in this critical step of your child's success. This daunting process is made simple with College Ready. Look no further!
