Get College Going
About
Get College Going is a college planning service that helps high school and college-age students and their families find the right education path, at the right school, for the right reasons and the right investment. College planning coach Tom O’Hare guides families through admissions and financial aid, from assessing a student’s academics and the family’s finances to setting realistic goals, building a college list and creating a strategy to meet costs.
O’Hare is a parent of four who has worked in higher education admissions and financial aid for more than thirty years, so he knows how emotional and stressful the process can be. His 360-degree approach covers essay brainstorming and editing, application documents, admission timing strategy, deadlines for admission and aid forms, and scholarship searches. He also helps families compare offers and reviews the transition into college and beyond.
