Students from families that are better off are ten time more likely to graduate, have SAT scores 125% higher, and believe it or not, more likely to get great financial aid. That’s because they often attend private colleges with much better financial aid packages, and their better grades and test scores make them more likely to get scholarships and other forms of merit-based aid.

 

It may seem unfair, but students from low-income families need to find ways to level the playing field and gain some of the advantages enjoyed by students from upper-income families.

 

 

College prep is traditionally the key to college success. Students who utilize college prep services graduate more than a year earlier than students who don’t. They’re also far less likely to need college remedial classes, making them twice as likely to graduate.

 

So how, exactly, does college prep help you?

 

 

Money definitely provides advantages to certain students. According to the National Association of College Admissions Counseling, private school guidance counselors are the best source for college information. That’s roughly 10% of American students, many of whom come from wealthier families. For the other 90%, NACAC says private guidance counselors, like RSC, are better than public high-school guidance counselors.
