What you're really investing in
You are not buying coaching hours. You are buying Joanna's relationships, Henry's architecture, and the confidence that the largest financial decision of your family's life is supported by people who see the whole picture. No other program in Canada combines admissions advocacy and financial architecture in a single engagement.
How the financial architecture works
Every Prep Elite family receives the book, Diagnostic, and Clarity Call as guaranteed deliverables. The full financial architecture engagement proceeds when Henry and the family confirm mutual fit. Value is delivered to every family regardless. Admissions introductions facilitate access and advocacy; admissions decisions remain with the institutions.

Strictly limited to 15 families per year
Questions
How do I decide which package is right for my family?
Foundation is for families who are early in the process and want the tools to get started on their own with ongoing education. Prep Success is for families who want dedicated coaching through the full admissions journey plus financial education. Prep Elite is for families who want Joanna Severino personally leading the admissions process and a comprehensive financial architecture review. If you are unsure, visit the booth. Joanna's team will ask you three questions about where your child is in the process and recommend the right fit in under five minutes.
Can I split the payment?
Payment plans may be available. Ask Joanna's team at the booth for options. Expo-day pricing applies to the total package regardless of payment structure.
I have more than one child. Can they share a package?
Each package is designed around one child's admissions journey. Families with multiple children can discuss multi-child arrangements at the booth. Joanna's team regularly works with families navigating admissions for siblings at different stages.
Can I start with Foundation and upgrade later?
Yes. Families can upgrade from Foundation to Prep Success or Prep Elite at any time, subject to availability. However, Expo-day pricing is available only today. After April 11, full published rates apply. After 7 days, enrollment moves to the waitlist.
What happens after I commit today?
You are onboarded within 14 days. Foundation families receive their materials and orientation call. Success families are matched with their Associate. Elite families begin directly with Joanna. Every family receives a welcome email within 24 hours of committing.
What if we start and it's not the right fit?
Discuss this with Joanna's team at the booth. PrepSkills is committed to finding the right match for every family. If a package isn't the right fit, the team will work with you to find the right path forward.
What happens if I don't decide today?
Families who decide within 7 days of the Expo pay the full published rate (no Expo discount) but are guaranteed a spot. After 7 days, Prep Success and Prep Elite move to a waitlist for the next available intake. Foundation remains available.
Who is Joanna Severino?
Joanna Severino is the founder of PrepSkills and the creator of the US College Expo. She has spent 25+ years building personal relationships with admissions directors at the most competitive schools in the United States. She has guided hundreds of Canadian families through the admissions process, with students placed at Harvard, Cornell, Stanford, MIT, Duke, Brown, University of Michigan, NYU, University of Pennsylvania, University of California, Berkeley and many more!. In Prep Elite, Joanna personally leads your family's admissions strategy. She does not delegate. She advocates directly to admissions offices on behalf of your child.
How is PrepSkills different from other admissions consultants?
Most admissions consultants help with essays and applications. PrepSkills offers that plus Joanna's personal relationships with admissions directors, direct introductions to target schools, and (in Prep Success and Elite) integrated financial architecture through Henry Wong. No other program in Canada combines admissions advocacy and financial planning in a single family engagement.
What does "admissions introductions" mean in Prep Elite?
Joanna personally introduces your family to admissions offices at your child's target schools. She advocates on your child's behalf based on her 25+ year relationships with admissions directors. Introductions facilitate access and advocacy. Admissions decisions remain with the institutions.
Can I purchase additional coaching hours?
Yes. Prep Success: $250/hour (Associate-led). Prep Elite: $500/hour (Joanna-led). No minimum. Billed through Square. Available at any point during the engagement.
Who is Henry Wong?
Henry Wong, CPA, CA is the author of 7 Structures of Wealth: A Framework for Protecting Assets, Preserving Capital, and Passing It Forward. He is a CPA Ontario Facilitator, Professional Development Trainer and Credentialer, and instructor at the University of Toronto Scarborough's Accounting Department. A former CFO with M&A and public company experience, he is also an Authorized Infinite Banking Practitioner through the Nelson Nash Institute. He works with Canadian families and incorporated business owners to build unified financial architecture.
What is the 7 Structures of Wealth Review?
A comprehensive assessment of your family's financial architecture measured against seven key structures: education funding, corporate structure, tax strategy, estate plan, risk transfer, capital accumulation, and generational transfer. Most families discover their advisors are each doing their job well, but nobody is connecting the pieces. The 7 Structures Review is where the connection happens.
What is the Wealth Fortress Diagnostic?
A structured assessment that measures the strength of your family's financial architecture across seven key areas. It identifies what is solid, what is weak, and what is missing. The Diagnostic reveals gaps that individual advisors cannot see because no single professional owns the whole picture.
How does the $57,000 in tax credits work?
Canadian students at US universities can claim tuition as a Canadian tax credit under the Canada-US Tax Treaty using a TL11A form. The federal credit rate is 15% of eligible tuition. At schools charging $70,000 USD per year, cumulative federal credits alone can exceed $57,000 over four years, with additional provincial credits on top. US schools do not issue this form automatically. You have to request it. The financial education in Prep Success and Prep Elite includes guidance on claiming these credits.
Is the financial architecture engagement guaranteed?
Every family in Prep Success or Prep Elite receives the 7 Structures of Wealth book, the Wealth Fortress Diagnostic, and a Structure Clarity Call with Henry Wong. These are guaranteed deliverables. The full hands-on financial architecture engagement (in Prep Elite) proceeds when Henry and the family confirm mutual fit during the Clarity Call. Value is delivered to every family regardless of whether the full engagement proceeds.
What is the orientation call and education series in Foundation?
The orientation call is a 30-minute session with a PrepSkills team member to walk you through your materials, set your timeline, and answer initial questions. Included in all three packages. Foundation families also receive ongoing enrollment in the PrepSkills Family Education Series: quarterly webinars co-hosted by Joanna and Henry, email education on admissions timelines and financial planning, and priority access to future events and package pricing.
