Affording College with Aaron Greene

Education


We're deep into college application season, and one of the questions we get is just how many colleges should my kid be applying to? We know this is a really tricky question. Because depending on who you ask, you're going to get a different answer. When you see all these really feel good news articles about students that were accepted into 50 colleges, you might start to ask yourself, "Should my child be applying to 60 schools with the goal of getting into 50 of them?" The simple answer is no. We go over the details of what the serious consequences are if you do so. During each episode, Aaron Greene, Founder and CEO at College Liftoff, and his staff of counselors help students and families reduce the cost of higher education, navigate the application process, and make well-rounded decisions by evaluating the modern metrics of education. College Liftoff emerged from Aaron’s desire to help students learn to treat education like an investment, accounting for the career, academic, and financial factors that shape this decision. He has also forged a debt control calculation to set student loan debt limits for each student. College Liftoff opened its first office in Columbus, Ohio in May 2009.
