Very helpful book!, 2008-10-13
Things have changed considerably since I went through the college application process myself and that being the case, I felt rather lost and helpless on how best to help my son get through this next big/huge step in his life!... I read the book and then my son read it... We both felt that it answered so many questions that we each had and gave us a kind of "step by step" plan of action!... it really helped to put our minds at ease... I am very grateful that this book was written and highly recommend it!

good book, 2007-07-14
The best book I read so far. As an admission consultant, I think it covers the basic information that parents and kids should know. I even met her in person this year. There is one little problem about this book - it is two years old. So new things happened within these two years have not yet been covered, such as the SMART grant (new for year 2007).

Amazing resource for anyone with admissions question, 2006-10-11
As a high school senior, I've been having the usual problems with finding a college that I feel is right for me, and then actually going about the process of applying. Not only was this book helpful in answering nearly all of my questions, but it is written in an interesting, friendly manner that I found heartening in the midst of a process that has been incredibley stressful! I recommend this book not only to high school students but their parents as well - my Mother read it and she loved it too!

the best college admissions book I've seen, 2005-12-16
This is an outstanding book. What I appreciate most about it is its thoughtfulness. Where other books present statistics and give only brief attention to very important topics, this book presents a fair, smart, and thorough account of the World of Admissions and encourages you to sit down and think about things, guiding you along each step of the process.
