4 Strategies for a Smarter College Search

Run Time: 55:27

The college search continues to change, becoming more and more complex. It makes it hard for families to identify right-fit schools. Join Jude Boudreaux, CFP® and Heidi King from College Inside Track to learn how these changes may impact your family and new strategies to consider to give your student the best opportunity to be admitted and maximize scholarships and financial aid. If you are the parent of a high school student in grades 9 to 11, this is vital info you will not want to miss. 

Topics We Cover Include:

  • Admission trends have changed around how colleges admit students 
  • Schools have made ACT/SAT optional, but not necessarily when they award scholarships, and some colleges are going back to requiring standardized tests 
  • The number of schools on the “more selective” list continues to grow, and not just in the elite category
  • Substantial changes to the FAFSA and financial aid may make college more expensive

H. Jude Boudreaux, CFP®

Sr. Financial Planner
I founded my own fee-only firm, Upperline Financial Planning, in 2010 on the principles that my friend Eric Kies and his firm The Planning Center were pioneering. Our firms merged in September 2017, and this new alignment is a natural progression that brings so much life and energy to my goal of helping as many people as we can for as long as we can. I am fortunate to work in a vocation where I get to meet and know so many wonderful people, and help them make choices that are so impactful in their lives. I have often said that my personal mission is to help others live their lives on purpose, and that carries over wonderfully to the work that we do.
