Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Why do I need an Independent Educational Consultant?

Applying to college is not what it used to be. Competition is fierce and many students and their parents feel unprepared and underserved. Working with an IEC gives you individualized attention to navigate the process so you make informed choices about your future. At Lowney College Consulting, each graduating class is limited so I can provide the one-on-one attention students need.

Why start early?

College is a huge investment, and at Lowney College Consulting I want my students to be informed decision-makers. Thinking about how your passions and skills might translate into a career when you are in 9th and 10th grades sets students up for a deliberate college search. In the early years, students are building self-assessment skills as well as confidence in how they can make the world a better place.

How much does it cost to hire an IEC?

Independent Educational Consultants have individualized pricing structures depending on the services offered. At Lowney College Consulting, I offer a choice of a full-service package or an a-la-carte approach to give students the flexibility they need throughout the process. I believe all students deserve good college counseling and will work with you to create a plan that meets your needs and fits your budget.

What makes Lowney College Consulting unique?

My goal at Lowney College Consulting is to help students build life skills as they move through the college selection process. I recognize that in shopping for a college, students need to become educated consumers. Approaching the process as project-based learning means that not only will students find their college fit, but they will also be well equipped for the challenges and decisions that they will face in college and beyond.
