College Kickstart Sneak Peek for Independent College Counselors
We're putting the finishing touches on College Kickstart for Independent Counselors and thought we'd give you a sneak peek of what's in store for 2017, including personalized plan printing and a 5 student starter plan.
What's New for Independent Counselors in 2017
Our coverage universe expands to over 400 institutions in 2017 with the addition of more regional colleges, likely school options and institutions with unique characteristics like Cooper Union (half-tuition), The College of Idaho (PEAK Program) and the University of Mary Washington (Public LAC). As always, you can take advantage of our tags to quickly add schools to a list, whether it be test optional, STEM, Jesuit, or a College that Changes Lives. Keep your suggestions coming!
The academic profile changes in two ways for 2017: We've introduced some refinements to our grading system to capture more nuance and provide clearer instructions for how to balance a list when needed. Unlikely schools are now accounted for in the list grade, and when assessing academic performance College Kickstart is now set up to take the better of a student's SAT or ACT score when both are provided. We’re pleased to introduce a new 5 student version of College Kickstart for Counselors for those of you just starting out. The price for the 5 student version is $625 per application season, with an additional 20% professional discount for HECA and IECA members. Many of you asked for the ability to print personalized plans for your clients, and we’re pleased to make this a reality for you. Come January, all College Kickstart for Counselors subscribers licensed for 10 or more students will be able to take advantage of a PDF plan generator that lets you deliver professional-looking college plans to your clients. The report closely follows the format of our web application and can be customized with your logo and tailored commentary for your students.
