Jim helped my family save over $100 thousand in tuition costs. After the father of my daughter and I divorced, my daughter had minimal contact with her father by the time she was enrolling in college. She was admitted to a top state school where her father lived. When Jim found out my daughter was reticent to ask her father for documentation to obtain in-State tuition, Jim impressed upon her the significant savings through in-State tuition. After my daughter contacted her reluctant father, my daughter succeeded in getting him to provide the documentation needed to obtain in-State tuition. We were very grateful for Jim’s guidance and advice; without Jim's advice, persistence and logical guidance, it's unlikely we would have taken action. The additional money is going to grad school, which is wonderful! Thank you, Jim!

Jim Houser worked with my grandniece on college admission and financial aid. He provided her with helpful information about the best chances of acceptance and which colleges offered merit aid. He also identified colleges that were similar to expensive colleges in their ability to prepare her for a Ph.D. (her goal), but at a much lower cost. He offered knowledgeable advice about applying for third-party scholarships so she could target her efforts and use her time in a cost-effective manner. His advice about schools that best fit her academic, social, and extra-curricular interests broadened her thinking about where to apply. He gave her the confidence to apply to colleges she had not considered. My family is grateful for his sage advice and counsel. In addition to providing information about college admission and paying for college, he also provides college essay assistance, including selecting topics that highlight a student’s best attributes. His past students have been accepted to a wide range of colleges, but they include Stanford, Yale, and Barnard.

While Jim typically works with students entering undergraduate schools, I was interested in MBA programs where I could use my Post-911 GI Bill benefits. I thought that I would likely only be able to go to online schools because I was not aware of MBA programs in my area that would accommodate someone who was working fulltime. Jim was able to produce a list of MBA programs that included universities that had in-person extension programs in my area as well as high-quality accredited online MBA programs. The in-person extension programs were designed for people in my exact situation who were already working. He was also knowledgeable about how the Post-911 GI Bill benefits worked to fully cover the cost of in-State tuition for those States that were willing to charge me that rate. Jim helped me expand my range of options while ensuring that my Post-911 GI Bill benefits would fully cover my costs.

Jim Houser was extremely helpful in providing information to my son in graduate programs throughout the process from admissions to financial aid. I highly recommend Jim help you navigate this complex and competitive college seeking journey.
