College Planning ABC

Manny has helped me with the struggles that most high schoolers face when getting to there college. I got in to some colleges from high school but not the ones i wanted to, so i waited it out through community college. When my time came to apply again, Manny continued to help me get into the school i wanted to, SDSU. He helped me with all the required paperwork that I needed for school as well as all the financial part. He saved me a lot of time and I highly recommend College Planning ABC.

Manny and his team helped us to navigate the financial aid process when my daughter got accepted to her first-​choice college, which also happens to be one of the priciest ones. Since my daughter has four parents supporting her, Manny and his team not only helped us to make decisions as to whose income to use, but they also helped us to fill out the FAFSA and other required documents. As a result, my daughter received numerous scholarships and grants, and paying for college didn’t take a huge toll on our finances. I am happy to say that my daughter is graduating this school year and she is able to start her career without a mountain of student debt!

College Planning ABC is the most helpful program ever! Manny got me into Santa Clara University for free and now I am working for a great company. Without College Planning ABC, I wouldn’t have had these opportunities and be where I am today.

One of the best investments we’ve made for my daughter was meeting up with Manny and his team at College Planning ABC. Manny came highly recommended to us by some good friends, and I can’t begin to thank him for all that he’s done for us!
He guided and assisted us every step of the way to help get our daughter into the college of her dreams, and he helped us find the resources to pay for it! We were able to receive $ 80K in scholarships, $ 15K+ in grants, and assistance in financial aid. Our total tuition for a prestigious SoCal private college was less than the tuition cost going to a Cal State College.
Manny and his team were tremendously helpful in the entire process with helping to complete the FAFSA (Federal Student Aid) application and other student loan applications, searching for scholarships, reviewing our daughter’s essays for college submission, implementing financial recommendations, and providing a complete college planning checklist of what needed to be done and when it needed to be done. The entire college application process was already overwhelming to begin with, but Manny and his team helped make the process go smoothly and put our mind at ease!
Unlike the typical high school counseling appointments which provide «general/​generic» information, Manny sits downs with you one-​on-​one and goes through every detail of the college application process from start to finish. Manny and his team is in constant contact with you via phone, email, and follow-​up appointments to make sure everyone is on track with deadlines.
College Planning ABC provides such an awesome service and we couldn’t be any happier with the support they provided us as well as the tremendous amount of $ they helped us save!
I have two more kids heading for the same path… and I’m looking forward to working with Manny and his team again! I would highly recommend their services to everyone and anyone who has a child planning to go to college! You will not be disappointed!

College Planning ABC helped me transition from high school to college providing me exceptional support and tools to get myself into every college I applied for !

Manuel has been very supportive of me and my journey to college since the very start. He has always provided both my parents and I with nothing but the best when it comes to college tuition/​financial aid. Rest assured that you will be in the best of hands when with Manuel at College Planning ABC.

If you are are high school parent and know nothing about the college application process then Manuel is just the right person for you! Manuel guided us throughout the whole application process for my daughter last year and is now helping us with my son. We could not be happier with his services. My daughter is now a freshman at the University of San Francisco on scholarship and financial aid money. We could have never made this happen without Manuel’s expertise! He knew all the tricks to the FAFSA process and made sure we didn’t miss a thing. Manuel is a good guy who definitely has the student and their family’s best interests as a priority. We recommend Manuel to everyone!

My son’s new favorite person… Without question the best decision we made in the last two years was to work with Manuel.
Private college was never on the horizon from our perspective. Attending a free seminar opened our eyes to the possibilities. Learning how and why certain colleges selected students was fascinating, and the seminar flew by leaving us hopeful.
When Manny met with our son one and one, his attitude changed overnight. He had an optimism and enthusiasm about all things testing (who knew?) and wholly enjoyed the phone interviews about what he wanted from a university (studies, sports, clubs, social).
Finally, school selection was key and proved to be the piece that completed the puzzle. Not only does our son have scholarships to incredible private schools, but he has options. From our prior plan of living at home attending the local college to the current visits to private schools to DECIDE which one to attend, my son’s life is forever changed.
From two hard working parents who would never have been able to navigate the academic jungle without Manny, our gratitude is endless.
