Who We Are
George has been a huge blessing to our family! Our daughter Brooke is flourishing as a second semester college student. Thanks to her hard work coupled with the wisdom, guidance and pragmatic coaching of George. When beginning the college search process a few years ago, my wife and I were both surprised with how much change had taken place from when we were college students ourselves. And perhaps even more importantly, we now realize how much there was that we just simply didn't know. George not only answered the countless questions we all had, but he also provided us with essential questions that we needed to be asking of colleges. Questions might I add, we would have never thought of on our own. The tools that George provides are beyond valuable. Looking back, I see how the preparedness also provided Brooke with a strong sense of confidence. As a family, we give George the highest recommendation that we can give. There is no way to put a price on our children's well being. George not only is a great wealth of information and experience, but he is also an incredibly caring individual that will make sure that your child's well being is placed first and foremost. We are ever so grateful for the blessing that George has been to our family. -- Jerry and Hope (Huntersville, NC)
Stunning success since 2012 might cause a less humble man to boast. Okay, so let me boast!The students we work with receive letters of acceptance to the majority of the colleges to which they apply -- and they choose the schools. Financial aid offers make at least some of the colleges fall within the family's stated budget. Sometimes that budget is very low, and we still deliver.
To date, every student who has followed-through with us has earned a bachelor's degree in four years. Those currently in college are on track to do the same. How do we know? Because we stick with our students through to COLLEGE graduation. Once in awhile there is a bump in the road. We help them find the best way to stay on track (and we generally don't charge extra for that).
What you need to know is, we have an unparalleled record of success. We charge one, all-inclusive and affordable fee.(career coaching, SAT/ACT tutoring, college selection guidance, financial aid counseling, help with applications and FAFSA -- all included).
We could tell you more, but let's have a conversation by phone or by "Zoom." Everyone who does also receives a complimentary copy of my cutting edge book, College 1,2,3.

Dani Tracey, College Admissions Coach
Dani Tracey is the future of Succeed Where It Counts. She came to SWIC as a tenth grade student. Her high school counselors were advising her to "get certified as a beautician." They didn't deem her to be "college material." Our rule of thumb is, there's a college out there for everyone who wants to go to college -- it just may not be the one you are thinking of.
Not only did Dani identify several colleges that were, potentially, a good fit, she won letters of acceptance to five. She chose Western Carolina University, and was a Dean's List student every semester. Graduating in four years, Dani worked with Mecklenburg County Juvenile Services for a year. To our good fortune, Dani is now on board here. The Lord willing, she will eventually assume majority control of the company and take it to new heights. Making an immediate difference, Dani is leading our social media presence.
Dani loves dogs, and is the owner of two energetic pups. There is a serious love interest, and we look forward to wedding bells in the not-too-distant future. She is a gifted singer, too. Talented -- that is the word for Dani.
