What Our Members Have to Say

FAQs

Which membership level is right for your family?

Essential is for families who want the data. You're building a list and want real numbers, real offers, and real filters behind every school on it.

Plus is for families who want the data plus expert guidance on their own schedule. You have questions between now and application season, and you'd rather watch an expert answer them at 10pm than wait for a call.

Premium is for families who want someone in their corner the whole way through. You want live access to experts, the worksheets and calculators to run the numbers yourself, and the biggest savings on 1-on-1 help when you need it.

Not sure? Start with Essential. You can upgrade anytime and we'll credit what you've already paid.

Who are our experts?

Our network of college counselors and financial planners have experience working in high schools with students, as well as privately with families. Their backgrounds are in financial aid, application strategy, essay writing, merit scholarships, test-prep planning, high school course selection, summer advising, application review, student loan advising, and more.

What's in the library of recordings?

Our library holds every event we've hosted since 2024, including private sessions run just for Insights members and our public classes and webinars. Topics span the full journey: building a college list, essays and applications, understanding financial aid offers, borrowing decisions, and paying for college. Missed a session or want to get ahead? Everything is available on demand, and we add new recordings as we host them.

What services are discounted for members?

Plus and Premium members save on all Road2College one-on-one services. Annual members save twice as much as monthly members at the same tier.

  • Plus monthly: 5% off, up to $50 per service and $100 per year
  • Premium monthly: 10% off, up to $100 per service and $200 per year
  • Plus annual: 10% off, up to $150 per service and $300 per year
  • Premium annual: 20% off, up to $250 per service and $500 per year

Your discount applies to essay coaching, Common App coaching, college list and admissions strategy sessions, CSS Profile review, financial aid appeal letter review, college financial planning, and our bundles. 1-1 Test Prep is provided by a partner and is not eligible for member discounts. The annual maximum resets on your membership anniversary. Member discounts cannot be combined with other promotional offers.

How does Road2College bill for membership?

Monthly: You're billed each month on the date you first subscribed. Cancel anytime and you'll keep access through the end of that billing period.

Annual: You're billed once a year on your signup date, and your renewal date becomes your membership anniversary. Annual members get the larger service discounts described above.

Pre-paid multiple months: Your membership runs through the end of the final month you paid for. After that, you'll be billed at the monthly rate automatically unless you cancel.

You can cancel anytime from your account settings.

How can you upgrade your membership?

To upgrade, contact us at support@road2college.com. We’ll take care of it.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel from your account settings whenever you like, and you'll keep full access through the end of the billing period you've already paid for. There's no cancellation fee. If you cancel an annual membership, your access runs through the end of your paid year.

Your saved colleges, lists, and comparisons stay in your account for up to 6 months, if you decide to come back.

Can I pause my membership?

We don't offer a pause option, but you can cancel anytime and rejoin whenever you're ready. Your account and saved work stay in place, so picking back up is quick.

One thing to know: annual pricing and any current promotions are locked in at signup, so if you cancel an annual plan and rejoin later, you'll pay whatever rate is current at that time.
