YourNextSteps-US is a non-profit organization, and all consulting, mentoring, and coaching are free to all students.

Additional services, including but not limited to, professional resume help, advanced ACT/SAT prep classes, college tours, and excessive application fees will be the responsibility of the student.

We are not focused on being unique or different, we are focused on helping students find their passion and providing students the ability to reach their full potential.

We have 3 board members and over 25 Champions and Friends that support the organization and students in a multitude of ways.

The best time to reach out is at the end of the 1st semester of junior year in high school. Reaching out to us at any time before High School graduation is viable as well. The later we engage, the more limited the college options.

Early to mid-August. Some schools do not open applications until September. Most schools are on a rolling admission. Rolling admission means they review and provide acceptance (and scholarships) as applications are received.

Early Decision: Early decision plans are binding — a student who is accepted as an Early Decision applicant must attend the college. Early Action: Early action plans are nonbinding — students receive an early response to their application but do not have to commit to the college until the normal reply date of May 1. Regular Decision: Decisions are made usually on a rolling admission or posted by the schools on a predetermined date for all applications.

Deadline for almost all universities is May 1st.

School Acceptance: These are scholarships provided by the school based on your initial application. This are usually provided at the time of acceptance. School Funded: These are scholarships provided by the school or an organization affiliated with the school. These scholarships usually require additional applications, letters, and interviews. These are usually provided after acceptance and before May 1st decision deadline. Community: These are scholarships provided by civic, government, private, and corporate entities and are award continually throughout the year.

Three (3) Reach schools. These are schools where your academic performance is just below the average admission for the last couple of years. Six (6) Match schools. These are schools that aligned with your academic performance. Two (2) Guarantee schools. These are schools that recruit you directly and offer acceptance prior to completing the application. This is usually based on test scores, national awards, or academic performance.

Students should start applying August of the year before the summer, yes 9 months in advance. Several companies secure their internships and full-time employees before the end of September for a June next year start.
