Four Things to Consider When Going to College:

Oftentimes the environment, culture, or distance from home can impact the success of your child.  Ensure that you take enough college tours and visits to have a fairly sound idea of how the college culture will impact your child.  As parents we all know our child and know what types of situations may adversely impact them.

Do as much as possible to submit your applications early.  Utilizing Early Action is always a great way to “test” the field.  Early Action does not commit you to attending a particular school (such as Early Decision), but it provides you with advance notice of acceptance, sometimes 3 months earlier than Regular Decision acceptances.  Early Action notification also allows you enough time to apply to other schools if you don’t get into these first schools.

We highly recommend that your student apply for as many LOCAL scholarships as possible.  Put as much effort into the scholarships process as you do the college admission process.  Most of the essay questions for these scholarships are very similar, so “rewriting” a previous essay or idea is quite possible.  Obtaining an extra couple of thousand or more is critical when it’s time to pay the college bill.

Mike and Karen you make the process so easy for me, I have 100% confidence that my son will get into the school of his choice. You guys do everything.

M.B. / Coatesville, PA

Mike and Karen I visited my son this weekend at college for the first time and I am soooooo thankful for the help you provided to us. TwinRiddicks College Prep (you and Karen) took us by the hand and found the perfect school for my son. He’s so happy there, and Mike you were correct in saying the most important aspect of selecting a school is finding a school that’s perfect for you. Thank You Again

K.T. / Downingtown, PA

Plain and simple I would’ve paid another $1,000 to $2,000 for the type of services and support TwinRiddick’s provided. The fact that their prices are 50% less than most other college assistance services but they do three times the work is incredible. I trusted my first daughter’s college application process with them and I will absolutely utilize TwinRiddick’s for my next two kids. They are the best.

M.S. / Kennett Square, PA

When it was time for my son and I to sit down and figure out the college and financial application process, we were lost. It was completely overwhelming and because of that michael almost did not attend. If it was not for Mike and Karen Riddick he would not of been able to go. They sat down and gave my son and I complete and undivided attention and dedication; working thoroughly through the financial process. Going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, exactly we needed it. Their extreme professionalism with the counselors and school personnel was unmatched. Because of their hard work and incredible knowledge, they were able to not only have the necessary documentations in order for us but were also able to help bridge the gap of monies that Michael needed to make this college dream a reality! 100% Michael would not be a Wagner Seahawk with the Riddick’s. We are forever grateful!!!”
With sincerest gratitude

K.W. / Downingtown, PA

As the first in my family to go to College the Financial Aid process, FAFSA, and the interaction with the school to work out the financial aid/scholarship/what’s left to pay process was overwhelming to me. TwinRiddick’s College Prep process not only made this clear to me but they took me step by step through the process, including the financial appeal process, and negotiated/presented for me a great financial solution. They helped me with everything. Working to ensure my mother’s taxes agreed with FAFSA, working with my college’s staff to walk me through the appeal process. I was able to attend college free because of the help the Riddick’s supplied to me. In addition, the complexities and detail related to becoming medically eligible to attend school and play football was also completed by the Riddick’s. Everything from downloading the forms, ensuring all of my shots and medical clearances were received. Plain and simple I probably would not be at College right now for free if it weren’t for the Riddick’s and their company TwinRiddick’s College Prep Service.

M.H. / Exton, PA

They helped with the common app, scholarships, the financial aid process, basically everything from SAT tutoring to helping me pay my son’s room deposit. The number one college application assistance team in America is TwinRiddick’s College Prep.

W.A. / Coatesville, PA

At first we didn’t know if this service was quality or not because of the price (typically you get what you pay for) which was less than other services. But in the intro meeting I knew immediately I selected the right team. They listened to us and our choices for schools and made a plan for my daughter. They were over and above what I expected. Very detailed and very professional. I would recommend this service to everyone without hesitation. My daughter is now going to Penn State main because of the Riddick’s
