The views are incredible (the picture is a hike along Lake Michigan to the Treat Fam Trail to the Empire Bluff Trail). In fact, this park was voted as the most beautiful place in America by Good Morning America several years ago.

There is continuing interest in the experiences of students from low-income families regarding college access, attendance, completion and success, and financial stability. Studies such as the World Economic Forum’s 2018 report found that it can take upwards of five generations for those born in low-income families in the United States to approach the mean family income.

One of the primary arguments for hiring a private college coach or college admissions consultant is that public school guidance counselors are too overworked to give each high school student personalized attention in the college admissions process. Many students report only having a few minutes in the whole of their junior year to speak with their guidance counselor about their college aspirations, and for many that conversation is their first and only meeting with the counselor.
