College Prepping - prepare for college life.
My name is Victoria E. Johnson and I am the mind behind the College Life Prep App. I know first-hand that college is not a walk in the park and getting into college isn’t the hardest part of a college student’s journey.
The sad truth is 30% of college students will drop out before reaching their sophomore year. Only half of the remaining students will graduate within 6 years, and as of 2017, American students will have accumulated $1.4 trillion in debt.
With a college education becoming more and more a necessity to get a decent job its imperative to help these students reach this goal.
We have discovered that there are seven reasons why freshmen students are most likely to drop out.
- College is Too expensive
- Too much Socialization
- Balancing Work and School
- Illness or Injury
- Academically unprepared
- Stress
- Not Emotionally Ready
All of these factors happen after the applications are in and the decisions have been made. Unfortunately, there are not many programs and tools available for college students and parents once they are actually in college.
At College Life Prep, we want to help students manage college life from the very beginning of the application process through the rest of their college years. Unlike other college prep sites and programs our information and advice are 100% free, because we want everyone to succeed.
While College Life Prep cannot help with all of these factors, our goal is to implement programs and tools to help combat these factors and help more students graduate in less than 6 years, with less student debt and hopefully bring the dropout rate down.
