College Planning Solutions

"Ayden is fantastic. From start to finish (although we're not there yet), Ayden has been critical at every step of my kids' collage process. From helping make preparations for college selections, applications & essays, to navigating the complex financial aid labyrinth, to on going FAFSA updates and corrections, Ayden and his team were (and continue to be) fantastic. As my kids enter their Junior year, Ayden is still engaged and supporting us. He really cares which is a rare attribute in today's world. I highly recommend Collage Planning Solutions for helping your kids getting into the right school for them as well as ongoing support to keep them there."

"Would highly recommend CPS if you are seeking an outstanding college planning counselor. With their personalized approach, extensive knowledge, unwavering support, and genuine investment in our success for my daughter's college planning journey. My heartfelt thanks go out to Ayden and his team for their invaluable assistance and for making my daughter's college dreams a reality."

"Ayden and his team made the college admissions process so much less confusing and overwhelming - for us as parents and for our son. We were a bit “late” to the process, having started at the beginning of our son’s senior year. No matter - Ayden helped us through the entire process, gave us a clear roadmap of what needed to be done and when. More importantly, our son had a dedicated college counselor in Amy. She helped him understand his tasks and deadlines, guided him through the essay writing process and was available to answer any questions that came up. She was not there to do the work for him. Her approach empowered him to take responsibility, challenge himself and stay on track. In the end, our son was accepted to nearly every school he applied to and we are all thrilled with the one he’s chosen. We have Ayden and Amy to thank for helping him get here and for making the experience a positive and less stressful one for all of us. Thank you both so much!"

"Working with Ayden over several years on college planning has been a pleasure. He is a thorough professional with excellent knowledge of college funding and its nuances. In addition to college planning for funding, he has a great set of tools and resources to help find the right college for your child. I must say one more thing that stands out to me is his promptness and attention to his customer's communication. Thanks, Ayden and CPS team, for supporting us over the years."

"It's hard to express how happy I am that I found Ayden and College Planning Solutions. I started working with Ayden and team when my oldest son was a sophomore and my twins were freshmen, and I'm glad we started early. They started working with my sons on rounding out their high school activities and experiences long before the college application process and CPS provides access to tools and data that helped my sons better identify their strengths and interests. As we got closer to college application time, the team helped to identify schools that were a good fit for my sons' academic and extracurricular interests. I was also able to get a good idea of the likelihood of financial aid and how much. During the application process, Ayden's team did an outstanding job of reviewing essays, taking the pressure off of me in keeping my sons on schedule in meeting application deadlines. My sons responded so much better to the coaching, prodding and encouragement from Ayden's team than they ever would have if it were solely up to me. In the end, my sons all got into at least one of their top school choices and have been very happy with their decisions. Ayden also pointed me to his colleagues at College Planning Experts who have been very helpful in mapping out how to pay for 3 kids in college over a 5-6 year period. It has been a joy working with Ayden not only because he's extremely knowledgeable and efficient in what he does, but he's also an incredibly nice guy and he hires and works with people who are equally knowledgeable and professional."
