Reliable custom college plans? Prioritize taking advanced courses in areas that will be relevant to your potential future area of postsecondary study and align with your strengths and interests. If you are a future English major who will struggle to pull a “C” in AP Statistics, opt for a less rigorous math class. Likewise, if you are a future CS major with an aversion to poetry, you may want to reconsider taking AP English Literature and Composition. However, for those aiming to attend elite universities, a general rule would be to select the toughest course in which you believe you can earn at least a “B.”
If you expect to go to college later, expect to study now. No one can do it for you. Don’t talk the college talk – “I’ll go to college to get a great career” – without walking the walk. Colleges look at your grades, sure, but also at how difficult your courses are. They want to see that you’ve challenged yourself. Plus, if you pursue advanced courses, such as AP®, you may be able to get college credit. Having trouble in a class? Many schools have peer tutors, students in upper grades who’ll help you (for free). Talk to teachers or counselors – let them know you want extra help.
Stress Less! High school is already a busy time between courses, extra-curricular activities, and more. Then, on top of traditional schooling responsibilities, now there is a shift to a focus on the future as well, which can be incredibly overwhelming. I take the stress off of both the student and the parents by keeping everyone on track of what they should be doing and when, restoring a sense of peace for the whole family!

I also assist students and families with college planning on an hourly basis at $199 an hour. This time can be used for any of the services listed in the Essential or Optimal packages, but not funding guidance. This does not include the personalized portal or ongoing communication. “Tonica is seriously the best person I could think of to help walk students and parents through the whole college planning process. Her passion for the students and truly helping to guide them in the right direction is one of her best qualities. For me, I would only want to work with someone who honestly cares about what they do and the people they are serving and Cardinal College Planning is just that type of business. My younger cousin is in the midst of figuring out her future and Tonica has given me so much advice and wisdom with how to help her navigate what is to come and what steps she should take. If you’re unsure of what to do next you’re in the right place!”- Nichole F.
