Expert College Planning: The Secret To Our Daughters’ Success

The Currys share how CPC’s dedicated team provided personalized support for their three daughters.

Navigating the college admissions process can feel overwhelming, especially for families with multiple students preparing for college. There’s a lot to juggle, from choosing the right extracurriculars to taking standardized tests and crafting standout applications.

Their story is a testament to how strategic college planning can ease stress for families, and open doors to incredible opportunities.

Discover how the College Planning Center helped their daughters thrive—and how your family can benefit from the same expert guidance to achieve college success.

When our oldest of three daughters, Madison, entered high school in 2018, my husband and I discovered that much had changed since we went to college.

We were overwhelmed by how we would approach the next few years, especially with three children and the fact that we would be in college simultaneously at some point!

The Importance of Strategic College Planning

In the fall of that year, my husband and I met with Chris to learn how CPC could help our family prepare for what is to come.

Madison was in 9th grade, and her sisters Jordyn and Brianna were in middle school then. We decided to partner with CPC to help us navigate the college admissions process and find the best-fit college for our girls.

Fast forward to 2025; in partnership with Chris and his team, we have three amazing young women who are attending and enrolled with scholarships at their top choice schools!

Looking back as parents, we place great value on Chris and his team’s ability to continuously guide each of our daughters on their personalized college preparation journey.

The support our daughters received from a group of professionals throughout high school and their ongoing communication with us as parents made it much easier for our family to celebrate their journeys. This support lifted a significant pressure from our shoulders.

Our girls were encouraged to explore extracurricular activities and participate in job shadowing opportunities during high school, which helped them shape career interests in various majors and candidate colleges.

Many professionals, including college consultantstest prep tutors, and essay experts from CPC, communicated directly with our students, providing various support services tailored to their individual needs.

They offered numerous support services to meet their individualized needs, such as guidance on high school course scheduling, SAT/ACT preparation, essay writing workshops, recommendations of best-fit schools and campus visits, proofreading college essays, and a final review of college applications to ensure all requirements and submission deadlines were met.

Chris, Tonya, Miles, and Renee, THANK YOU! We did it—all our girls are college-bound and thriving on campus. Your personalized investment in our girls is truly appreciated!
