My College Planning Team - Naperville, Illinois

Markus K.

I attended one of their webinars a while ago, and recently had a 1-on-1 meeting. Jack was very helpful, outlined potential strategies, and gave a lot of good advice. His information was very useful and tailored to our situation, not just generic fluff. The service that they offer to provide throughout our child's college years sounds very promising, too. A great first experience.

Jack was incredibly resourceful and caring on our introductory phone call. I am already reading two books he recommended and absolutely know where to turn if we run into any confusion throughout the college selection process. Thanks!

I have found My College Planning Team to be super responsive, and informative. I felt like they listened and are vested in our having a good outcome. Looking forward to working together.

Jack was very helpful during our complimentary meeting with him. He had lots of information and suggestions to share, and recommended several books for us to read as we begin the college search process. Follow up and communication were great, and he answered all of our questions. Jack and his team are very knowledgeable about the entire college planning/application process.

Planning team is well versed on the various financial aid opportunities available at private universities. Even though it will be a few years before our next child applies to college, they were more than happy to spend a little time discussing her future opportunities and help us plan our next steps. We will certainly be contacting them again to enlist their support in navigating the collegiate system for our younger children.

I was very pleased with the information I received from MCPT. Jack was wonderful! He really did a great job at helping me understand the different formulas each college and university has. I definitely feel better prepared to work with my daughter at choosing a school the fits her personal needs as well as our family finances.

I found their free conference call very informative and Jack (founder) was very forthcoming in explaining their services. What I liked the most was that Jack didn't try to sell their services and instead, was focused more on understanding my specific situation and explaining my options. He ran few sample college reports for me and then also had a follow-up call for reviewing those reports. Their free conference call was definitely worth the time.

We purchased the application and scholarship package in early April, for our rising HS senior. Our first counselor flaked out but didn't inform us she had quit until late June. Our next counselor finally scheduled an initial meeting for mid-August. In late October we checked the progress and discovered that nothing was close to ready. Test scores and transcripts weren't ordered because nobody told us that was a thing.

It's now early November and I finally got an email today that MCPT is refunding the scholarship package because I expect too much. Indeed I do.

I expected the application package to have my son ready to hit submit by the agreed-upon date, and I expected the private scholarship search to include a full year of scholarship opportunities, not only those beginning in December. I give two stars only because MCPT had a whopping 9 useless meetings with my son. That is far more time than I paid for. It's a pity that those meetings amounted to me correcting the Common App and frantically ordering transcripts and test scores right up to the Nov. 1 deadline for applications. I didn't pay for the essay package, either, but it's clear that as part of the application process essays need to be moving along. While the content wasn't expected to be reviewed by MCPT, the rundown on where my son should be in completing his essays was.
