What The CAR
Users Are Saying
The CAR team has done a fantastic job. I wish I had this with my oldest. My youngest enthusiastically went through every lesson which organized the process and made both of our lives easier.
— Avery, Parent
I was really nervous about applying to college. [The CAR] made it easy to just start applying. I could text them if I needed anything... I got into schools and scholarships I didn’t even think were possible.
— Brian, Student
I customized The CAR to meet the needs of my students which saved me so much time! Their team is very responsive and eager to help. I would absolutely recommend counselors use this or share it with their students.
— Kim, Guidance Counselor
