Jason Slone is an AWESOME professional -- he was able to answer questions about where I should optimally place my assets to maximize college financial aid and whether declaring a minor as independent was even worth it! He answered these questions in about 5 minutes; whereas my Fidelity Financial Advisor, and my Princeton Review College Admissions Counselor were not able to answer these questions... More
Jason Slone is an AWESOME professional -- he was able to answer questions about where I should optimally place my assets to maximize college financial aid and whether declaring a minor as independent was even worth it! He answered these questions in about 5 minutes; whereas my Fidelity Financial Advisor, and my Princeton Review College Admissions Counselor were not able to answer these questions at all! I would give him 10 stars if that were possible! He's made a HUGE positive difference in my child's future already! THANK YOU Jason! Less

Extremely helpful during what can be a stressful time. I found CAP's professionals to be informative, helpful, and a valuable resource as we navigated the college process. Also, it's worth mentioning that we worked with Michael Korch who would get 10 stars from me if that was an option here!... More

I can’t express enough how happy we are with the help we received from Kevin. Available, patient, and kind, Kevin walked us through an unknown process. It was so nice having an unflappable guide who was on our side and saved us so many hours and confusion. Kevin was on top of the process and always followed-up immediately. I would recommend this service to friends and family. It really was a case... More

My son got accepted to BU as ED but received no Financial award for COA @$90K.

My son got accepted to BU as ED but received no Financial award for COA @$90K. I decided to use College Aid Pro consultation for 1hr and Josh explained the situation that there was mistake on the way I filled out the FAFSA and CSS. Then I decided to invest for the full package with a discount for Twins. Kevin was very helpful and went thru all my taxes, income, assets and explained how should I appeal to BU. 1st appeal received $29k, Kevin and I decided to do 2nd appeal and received another $16k cutting the COA by 50% which made my son education more affordable than paying full tuition. I'm waiting for my other son's offer letter from Notre Dame in March, Kevin and team from College Aid Pro will be there to assist me. Can't thank them enough and will refer them to friends and family. Less

College Aid Pro was so helpful in my understanding of the options to pay for college. I actually understood FAFSA after Jonathan explained it to me! I would highly recommend for anyone who is worried about how to pay for college. It is still expensive but they help you figure out how to make it work... More

J.P. was amazing. He's responsive, crazy smart and funny. My only regret is that I did not find him sooner! I would have loved to use his services for the entire process instead of just the financing. I paid for 2 sessions with J.P. and it was worth every penny.... More

I've done a number of webinars on the college application/financial process. The guys at College Aid Pro are by far the most knowledgeable and have the clearest presentation skills. It's well worth investing in their My CAP software. Easy to use, tons of information. UPDATE - I wish I could give College Aid Pro 7 stars.

I've done a number of webinars on the college application/financial process. The guys at College Aid Pro are by far the most knowledgeable and have the clearest presentation skills. It's well worth investing in their My CAP software. Easy to use, tons of information. UPDATE - I wish I could give College Aid Pro 7 stars. I hired Matt Carpenter and team to get us through FAFSA and financial aid. I thought the value they would bring would be negotiating a good financial aid package with a private college. I assumed if my son went to a State school, we get a minimal financial aid package. My son was accepted to and decided to enroll at UMass Amherst. Well, the financial aid letter came in last night. All I can say is WOW. Matt and team got us a huge financial aid package. It was well worth the hiring him. Thanks Matt and team. Less

With the guidance that CAP and Matt provided the entire process from filling out the CSS and FAFSA and appealing our financial aid package was very smooth. I can confidently say that if your child or you yourself are applying for college your first step should visit College Aid Pro and utilize their free information and sign up for whatever your budget allows and that money will come back to you! -Mike G Ipswich MA Estelle G Babson class of 2028 Less

I had a 15 minute information session with JP Schmidt (one of the consultants) earlier today and I learnt so much in 15 minutes. I feel more confident about which strategy I should take and where to find the resources I need. Thank you so much for all you do. I definitely recommend this team if you need guidance in navigating college applications. The webinars are also a great resource.... More

Awesome seminar! I already enrolled… easy to use and very intuitive app. Also I love the Upgrade feature! It’s nice to forecast the financial aspects of the college process… I was doing the same process, manually using excel but College Aid Pro is much easier as you simply type the college name after filling in simple and basic profile info! Time saving app at an affordable price!... More

All of the recordings were very informative and I learned a lot. Some information would have been better had I known it before my daughter starting her Senior year as we applied early to the 2 colleges of her choice. But I took a lot away from the financial aspect. The only negative thing I can say is for those who could not attend live it would be great to be able to see the questions asked and ... More

Thanks again for all your knowledge and help. Less

I did the boot camp sessions and appreciated the information greatly as this is my first time dealing with college applications. There was repetition, however, that was OK because if you watching just one or two, it gave some background. What I really liked was getting the presentations emailed afterwards so we can reference them if needed.... More
