In a given week, Gary helps a student edit his college entrance essay, a second one do the Common App, helps another narrow her choices from 50 to 8 schools, and helps another select 3 candidates to approach for letters of recommendation. The staff at Spike Consulting also walks families through FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Spike has a network of financial advisors at his disposal to strategically lower the Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
