• KC360
• “Starting early is really important.”
• “One of the biggest value points that is highly underrated and rarely talked about is support. When you look at campuses, you need to look for their international office and what kind of TCK support they have.”
• “The support level really does make or break a student’s success [...] and we just assume it’s going to be there.”
• “Do they have the problems that you’re looking for? Do they have the TCK support?”
• MyCAP - College Aid Pro
• “A lot of students make better decisions by [...] putting everything on the table and having an informed decision.”
• “Everything about college in this day and age from a financial perspective is ‘many streams equal one river.’”
• “A university will want to see that you’ve used your gap year wisely.”
