Why CareerXplorer?

horiz_131Admission to college has become more competitive than ever. Most American colleges receive 10-20 times as many applications as are places in the freshman class. How many students wait until 11th or even 12th grade to prepare themselves for the most important part of their education - COLLEGE!

It is heartbreaking for students to first realize in 11th grade that they don't have the grades, courses, course levels, test scores, extracurricular activities, community service, etc. to get into their preferred college - AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE.

CareerXplorer is one of the only programs of its kind - a program designed to prepare your student for college STARTING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!

Our Program provides the guidance and the tools to prepare for college the most efficient way - by starting early and preparing meticulously.

Think of preparing for college like a football game: 9th Grade is the First Quarter; 10th Grade is the Second Quarter, etc. WE HELP YOUR STUDENT WIN THE GAME.

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Does your student know what course of study they are most suited for in college?

  • Does your student know what colleges have programs in the areas he or she would like to pursue as life goals?

  • Does your student know the requirements (grades and test scores) to get into the college of his or her choice?

  • Does your student know whether they are taking the right courses and levels to meet those requirements?

  • Has your student prepared properly for the national SAT and/or ACT exams?

  • Is your student prepared for college interviews?

  • Do you know whether you will need financial aid and how to qualify for aid?

  • Do you know what scholarship programs might be available for your student?

If you answered NO to any of these, CareerXplorer can help!
