Question:
I recently recieved a letter from College Consultant Group, Inc and they stated that they assist funding for college. They basically fill out financial applications, provide career planning, offer SAT/ ACT preparation, and attain scholarships for students. They are hosting an interview in my area and have invited me to attend. I am a bit skeptical about their credibility. There is a BBB reliability stamp on the letter but I don't recognize the significance of that stamp. Has anyone heard about this organization, worked with this organization, or can clarify if this is actually free and legitimate?
Answer:
I haven't heard of them, but I research them online for you, and I find their business practices a bit shady. I also found this:

no
Feel free to attend their presentation, but do not pay for any services. Applying for aid is free (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov) and there are plenty of free scholarship searches on line. Most colleges offer career counseling through a career services office...a service you are already paying for through your fees. When I took the ACT they included a practice book...my guess is they still do this which should give you a good idea of how the test will go.
